Calvin at lease you tried your best. That counts for something.
to geo 111 hijacking the site that was not my intention, all I was trying to do was restore my family honor, and get to know everyone the fun way by conducting that comic exercise that was for everyone even you to participate and have fun with picking a comic character. I screwed up by making a
lot of you angry so I was trying to make up for it.
Thank you Gweedo Murray I only wish that I would’ve Known about that site. to be honest this is the only site I know because I don’t surf the web do to possible threat of getting a computer virus. Hi Skulker.
Well bald, they just make a tiny image of one–though one would need to be about the size of an ant to actually paint the features.
Yeah, Hobbes figured it correctly–for the picture on the box of a BIY model (car, lorry, plane) they always use a real one (for plane to be displayed on stand, they then do double-exposure to make it fit; oft I’ve seen the picture on front for model plane does not display the stand).
Hobbes is the coolest character ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you gotta love hobbes! ANd he is real! how else does calvin end up swing in a tree by his underwaer?
Calvin, it looks more like a plane than I thought it would,lol, so be happy!
Macushlalandra; walk into a sandwich shop and ask for a sandwich just like the one on the poster in the window and they will just laugh at you.
Yo Calvin! See what I mean. You ruin those model airplane for nothing. You should ask your daddy for his help to assemble the model airplane with the instruction and etc. Sighhhh! How fool you are to do with those damaged model airplane? :-\

If “you” don’t want the model airplane to be displayed, you can hang the model airplane with the wax fishing thread up the ceiling that looks more likely “airplane flies in the sky.”

LADYWOLF i am stillgood with Plastic Man.
yeah, there is GARFIELD, then i thought DADDY WARBUCKS, than i plopped back to AMOS of 9CWL. but there one character who was a little bit all of these.
PLASTIC MAN
Charlie37133, you said you are good with plastic man so I would like to ask you about the metal model thing. do you familiar with those metal model car or whatever? I bought two of model 1970’s Ford Mustang Mach II but these are metal and primer in color that need to spray with different kind of color to look nice on it. I was not sure about it. I never did with the metal model car before. I used to know what to do with plastic model cars. I would like to know what your feedback about metal model car or not. Thx! :-)
@JonD, it looks like a plane you could walk away from after a crash landing…and they used to say any landing you can walk away from is a good landing…LOL
[glumly, rubbing the knot on my head] Yeah, you did, but the squirrels got real indignant when I started eating their peanuts, and shoved me back out again.
since its a disaster already, it was at this point that I would
have decided to have a plane crash…….did you know that plastic cement glue is flammable?…….great effects, but you only get to do it once!
I think Calvin should give up on making plastic models and get himself a REAL Phantom Jet.
(I recall this actually happens in a C&H Sunday comic along the way. Fasten your seat belts.)
……………
EMET….Wish we could do lunch sometime. I’d spring for it just to sit and listen to the way your mind works. Funny stuff.
Hey, Ladywolf I enjoyed seeing what character everyone would be. I am Marcie from Peanuts, good at school, bad at sports, bad eyesite. I guess my fantasy would be Brenda Starr.
EMET, we might have a problem doing lunch since I live on the most geographically remote island (in conjection with any major land mass) in the world: Kauai, Hawaii.
How ‘bout you? –you probably live closer to me than I do. Your accent suggests you’re from Tasmania.
Perhaps we could meet somewhere in the middle….like Nebraska maybe. I’m easy to spot. I’ll be the tattood dude wearing a plaid jacket with a bone through his nose.
One of my best memories is putting together a model of Indian Point Nuclear Generating plant with my Dad when I was about 12. It was a present from Santa. After Christmas dinner we started, with my brother, and worked all day and through the night and finished about 7AM the next day. Priceless memories. Wonder to where that got off.

Calvin, get used to it. They never do look like the pictures. At least not until you’re 40 and made 1000 of them.

Just like fast food restaurant commercials. They show you a huge juicy burger but when you order it it’s very small.

I think Hobbes has a point there. It’s like McDonald’s and BK. The burger you paid for never looks as good as the one in their pictures! Grr!

’ladywolf, Pibgorn is at this site. Just do the A-Z comic search. It’s a good place to hang out. Lots of erudite, educated folk with plenty to say.”
The downside, of course, is that there are also people like me.
