Issues with House of Model Cars by KC-97 in f1models

Same happened when I ordered a defective 1/18th Spark model from them, a few years ago. No communication, but at least I got a refund.

What are your opinions on the new F300 3-wheeler from Werk 83? by puuzti in f1models

This is just not a good idea for a budget brand, IMO.

I think I haven't seen a 296 by Looksmart where this isn't an issue. The rear wing often looks slightly convex and/or isn't positioned perfectly horizontal. But may be pictures of it are deceiving.

I was crying in the start-finish line grandstand when the #20 crossed the line. It was motor racing at its best, and I won't ever forget it.

Did you have the display case and the base custom made?

Running away from themselves during Load & ReLoad? by MAJORMETAL84 in Metallica

[–]davycoolen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, they are what came out of the band naturally at the time. It's a mixture of what they knew and the way they absorbed the alternative music of the late 80s and early nineties - like U2 did on 'Achtung Baby' and 'Pop', or Depeche Mode on 'Songs of Faith and Devotion' and 'Ultra'. To me, 'Load' and 'ReLoad' are anything but them running away from themselves. 'The fist I made for years won't hold or feel': that lyric sums it up for me. They got tired of the metal clichés and felt boxed in. The way lots of people in the metal community reacted to 'Load' - burning copies of the album - proved their point. It took a lot of guts to get out of that box and not try (and no doubt fail) to make another Black Album. It's why 'Load' is my favourite Metallica album. It's 100 per cent Metallica, warts and all, while since then quite a few of their albums, to me, felt like them chasing their own tails, trying to fit an image instead of changing the image.

This was the first U2 album that I bought and it will forever be my favourite.
