                        Love Tamiya? Hate DML? Indifferent towards Italeri? Fed up with Airfix? Have a little fun with the company names or their products!
                        For example:
                        DML= Does not Match or Lineup

                        AMT= All Models are Trouble

                        ERTL= Every Model Requires Total Lineup

                        Now it's your turn. Put those creative imaginations to work. This could be fun-----or not. (Alright, alright...it's 11:30 p.m., and I'm starting to feel a little punchy.) Tongue [:P]
