Tha General Lee , Ironclads and Figures

GMorrison

With Limbaugh telling his audience that the removal of the flag is something he does not disagree with, I don't think those politicians have much to fear.

Virginia is next, resolving this license plate issue like Texas did. Then the Mississippi flag.

Soon it'll all be a memory, like I wish it would be here.

I should clarify--I didn't mean that people who disagree with removing the flag will vote their reps out of office.  I meant that this happened because of the people we've been electing, over decades.

Yeah ! Good Point !

What ever gave you the idea that politicians listen or accede to the wishes of Limbaugh's audience? 

...............if somebody at FSM is gonna get the impression we are adults...................

what happens to the FSM forum admin job? 

actually,being  newbie here at FSM Forums,I had no idea what to expect of such threads...

you see,Im a member of lots of other forums,luthiery,guitars,amps,guns,models,and sci-fi....most of those forums mods have been very swift in locking as most,if not all,of those threads devolved into name-throwing,butthurtitis,and the like.

this forums response has been calm,mostly rational,and modless....i applaud y'all

All I have to say is that elections have consequences.

Glad to see it removed "off the state capitol" (even though it flew over a Confederate memorial??? Hasn't flow over the building in 15 or so years) and maybe now we can stop chasing around this red, blue, and white boogieman and start addressing the REAL problem.

Wow, this is great!! Thank you Mr Morrison and Proffesor Tilley, along with everybody for teaching me more about this.

I made a post a few weeks back, just looking for more information, and got locked out....

There's a LOT of respect here for each other. Everyone gets to the point where once they've said what they have to say, they move on and don't stick around to fight.

Sometimes I look at other discussion groups, after following a link to something I am interested in. It is skin peeling, hair raising what folks descend  to.

 Probably nothing, but I expected a ( disappointed in us ) lecture and lock out way before this.

Yes ;

I do scale figures , Mostly of old sea captain types . I also do " Mini - Vignettes " in 1/35 scale As well as 1/87 and 1/160scale . For my own enjoyment , Not for competition . I find bringing a small wooden base to life with these little people does tend to test my shading and shadowing skills a lot .

Well, I believe GM said it was all tankerbuilder's fault.....................that a 1969 Dodge Charger was painted a shade of Chevy Orange................

Who Me ?

    Well , I am sitting here sipping on my two fingers of Devils Cut wondering what I started . I was only intending to show what can happen even if you don't know What , Why and Where . I love building Models and resent being told I cannot display or compete with one because something  on it offends someone . Well , I digress .I don't like to offend anyone . So yeah , I am still here reading .

 I read through this thread last night and I admit I'm a little concerned about what might be going on at the fsm head-shed.  It is kind of like bringing my girlfriend (now my wife) home at 2am when the curfew was 11pm, and finding her home empty.  1:  Her parents are are at police station filling out report for my arrest.  2:  Her parents are looking for us and papa has a shotgun meant for my behind.  3:  Something more serious has happened making my infraction minor.

I guess the 1/16 is supposed to be much better than the 1/25 MPC kit.  My one complaint is the car in the show had a 440 Magnum.  Supposedly they used both that and some with the 383 as well.  The kit has the 426 Hemi (Which is an epic motor but not correct). ...........

Thanks; did not know that......................and, unlike 1/25 kits , a replacement engine can't be swiped from somebody else's Dodge kit.

You know you want another slice of Sweet Potato Pie...............

If I was going to build an iconic car model of the South, I think that I would much rather build a certain Black Trans Am. GA license plate Band1 (or something like that).

In other news I got a 1/16 general Lee at hobby lobby for 17.99!  LOL People on eBay are paying over $60 for these things.  For that price I had to add it to the collection.

If I were to build a General Lee, I'd prefer to build the 1/16 kit.............and sell the decals for $60.00................
What do you think of the kit? 

I was not questioning why the British flag wasn't flying on state grounds.  I was mealy stating you can say the same thing about that being a symbol of oppression too.  If someone really wanted to go down that road.
