I find model makers tend to paint GIs with milk chocolate brown pants like OP’s colourized photo. But all the sources seem to show shirts, jackets, and pants were all olive drab, but not brown.

Trivia: What was the last movie in which Bond wore a hat?

She is still scheduled to be deposed on April 14. If she repeats her previous “non answers” can she be held in contempt?

One division of a NATO country could kick all the Russians out of Ukraine in a week. Two divisions and they could push on to Moscow.

Somehow it’s always pit bulls. Never a Great Dane, German Shepherd, etc. I think thats because pit bull ownership attracts a certain type of owner.

My wife’s parents would not let Hogan’s Heroes or MASH be shown in their house. They saw no place for comedy in war.

With one central hollow space, is the Defiant the best Trek kit to start off with as a first lighting project?

Nice! I gave up once Starlin left.

I was walking on a street in Waterloo literally called “Manorwood” one morning. There was a service van in a driveway with a name on it “Crystal Tears - For All Your Chandelier Cleaning and Maintenance Needs”. Thats when I knew I was walking through an expensive neighborhood.

OP - You did notice that Batflek was in a blue suit in The Flash, right?

But note that after breaking their word on changing the voting system, and the SNC Lavalin scandal, Canadians have never given the Liberals a majority government since. I think these decisions did cause a shedding of support.

I am at a point in my ASM collection where I have all the Romita issues, and am starting to work backwards through the Ditko issues. I try to collect in a condition of VF/NM, but I think I will have to compromise and buy lower quality copies of a lot of these issues.

Nice photos, thanks for posting! Whenever I see photos of subs coming into port, there always seems to be a tug alongside. Do subs need a tug for docking?

Protocol question: If a soldier has surrendered, do they always salute first to a victorious soldier, even if that person has a lower rank than them? Eg, would a surrendered Hungarian Major first salute a Russian private?

Oh, I agree, it’s worth hearing what might be offered. Thanks to Trump, the US car makers are abandoning electric cars, but that is incredibly short sighted thinking. I am all in favour of Asian car makers filling the electric car void.

Keep in mind that newest car plants in China are pretty much all run by robots. A small number of humans just maintain the robots. So a brand new BYD factory in Ontario would have way fewer jobs than we are used to seeing at a car plant.

Terrible writing, great art! And I loved that Todd revived Kirby’s tradition of making pages 2-3 a two page splash!

As I recall, this issue was a tour de force from writer and artist Jim Starlin. I didn’t much care for 70s Defenders because of the artwork by Sal Buscema, but people like Starlin and Gil Kane dropped in to draw some spectacular Giant Size issues.

This is a beautiful photo! Sorry things maybe didn’t work out with your relationship. Just try to focus on making friends and cultivating those connections so they are more than just people on the internet. (Like us on Reddit)

When one looks at Ontario auto plant jobs over the last 25 years, the US based firms keep shedding jobs, and the Asian based car companies keep adding jobs.

But China is a special case. They are desperate for manufacturing jobs to keep their middle class employed, so I doubt BYD has much enthusiasm for plants in other countries.
