My First Vintage Automobile
There ya go Zaika! Find a car that is as complete and as much restored/rebuilt as possible. We mention this because if you buy something that needs a lot of work it is expensive these days. For example chrome alone that is real bad might run $3000 for every piece, $2-2500 for an interior and...- Twitch

Best "hat movie" ever?
Aside from movies History Channel documentaries have provided a stream of hat/clothing illustrations direct from the true era source. The result from these is confirmation that fedoras were worn more without suits that with. And with all sorts of clothing right down to work duds and bib overalls. -
Hitler's globe turns up in Oakland rumpus room
Several years ago I saw a TV snippet about the Americans who made it to the Furherbunker in Berlin long after the Russians had looted everything not bolted down. All that was left semi-intact was a toilet so one guy unattched the seat which graced his sailboat head for years. Don't know what... -

Were Back!
MK we had another little thread going as we discussed slowness. I found not only the Lounge server respomding lethargically but much else on the internet. Everything is smooth and fast again.[huh]- Twitch

Implosion of the Sands
And as we another one of these oldies go boom I wonder, as others here have, when they're going to build a Golden Era theme casino. Certainly there'd ne no lack of ideas as the place could have areas from the Roaring 20s to the Fab 50s.[huh]- Twitch

The Graciousness Of Uncertainty
This is a good illustration why my friends of generally the same 60-ish age recognize that any day we experience, that is good, is special. For any of us who have medical maladies we appreciate the good days and understand the way things swiftly happen, any one could be our last. We don't...- Twitch

Why were the German's referred to as "Huns"???
Lady DeWinter the only way anyone would call you "hun" is actually "hon" being short for honey.;) :) :D -
My First Vintage Automobile
Zaika- there are MANY decent cars for $10,000 or less so don't get tennel vision into believing you'll need to spend $50,000 unless you're into 57 Chevies. I got my 1950 Packard off Ebay 3 years ago for $9,500 in the condition you see it in the picture. It's not worth much more now. It's...- Twitch

Can You Believe the Gall?
Edward- that hits it on the head. There are people who will spend whatever it takes to obtain an item regardless of the value. I see this all the time in vintage auto items. What you said about not knowing what some schmoo has for a max bid lets you shrug when they win. I've watched some...- Twitch

Bristol Brabazon?
As unpopular as it is perceived UCAVs are the wave of the future and many countries are deep into them. We are into the 2nd generation at this point. As far as Russian and Chinese. The Chins have planes from passed-down, reworked blueprints of the old USSR. And the MiG 29 is about the only...- Twitch

Why were the German's referred to as "Huns"???
Huns as in Attila the Hun is where the term came from classing the Germans with the barbarians. Hun was used in WW II. The classic example was describing for pilots to "beware of the Hun in the sun," describing a standard attack position. Thr Russians called them Frirz and the Brits used... -

New Star Trek
Enterprise went the wrong way for me. Where I was looking forward to a new ST to go forward into the like the 27th century the prequel was too slow getting going. It was like 10 episodes where the ship was portrayed like a used 1982 Dodge Aires K car in reliability and quality.:mad:- Twitch

Bristol Brabazon?
No one figured they'd have to keep re-equipping B-52s for decades but they lent themselves to it with so much flex space that allowed for modern gadgets. The same holds true for fighters like the F-4. It was about the first planned to expand fighter with loads of empty space planned in for...- Twitch

New Star Trek
They will need to portray young Kirk as agressive, fast thinking and confident in his abilities of the era. You know like that epidsode where they talk about his Academy test with the Whatchamacallit Maru that no one could beat. Young Kirk re-programmed the computer so he could beat it. That...- Twitch

Hawker Hurricane
No no more modeling for me. My close up sight is long gone and I don't have the patience anymore either. Depending on the scale you can use a heated needle or pin for bullet holes. I used to use an electric wood burning iron with a V-shaped tip. These get less hot than soldering iron. You...
