Look – a photo of a tail fin. On a 1957 Chevrolet. Or at least on a plastic model of one. That I built in high school. In a poorly ventilated area. As you’ve probably guessed I was very popular with the ladies (and struggle with complete sentences).
Random friend: What are you doing this weekend, Robert?
Me: Oh, you know… I’m painting a tiny distributor cap. In a poorly ventilated area.
Random friend: *blank stare*
Just in case you were wondering this model broke in a recent move. Bummer, right?
You: *blank stare?*

you could have fooled me this was plastic!
Thank you very much, Jillsy Girl!
Over-editing to the rescue! 🙂
Gorgeous! You are quite the man with the camera (and plastic modeling kits) !
Thank you very much, Dishy…
This one turned out better than expected considering there was some assembly required. 🙂
Somehow you building a plastic car doesn’t equal being popular with the ladies.
High school girls can never get enough of model building boys!
Hahaha – Was it just my high school that wasn’t quite like that? D-Oh! 🙂
Hahaha – I can’t imagine that’s not right. 🙂
Shake that tail fin!
BLAST! I thought I had shake your tail feather on my i-pod and I was totally going to rip off the lyrics…
Uh…
I need two pairs…
So I can get to stompin’ in my air force ones…
(does any Nelly song work here?!) 🙂
Oh and it could be worse, you could have been a Scalextric freak!
Ha… yeah, that would have been so lame!
*hiding sections of track behind my back*
🙂
Thought so ……
I guess my ‘cool dude’ reputation proceeds me! 🙂
You did a good job with the depth of field as it doesn’t look like a model at all.
I built those models too! Is this a 1/24 Revel model, or one of the bigger 1/16 ones?
Thanks very much, Binky – I gave it a shot, anyway!
Most of mine were smaller, but this was a 1/16 model I got one Christmas… it was pretty cool! 🙂
Cool. My dad had a 57 Chevy when I was a wee lad. I wish he still had it.
Very cool!
A few of my friends have Classic Cars, but no one I know has a ’57 Chevy. 🙂
I love a big sharp fin
Oh no… I think I’m hearing Jaws music! 🙂
HAhaha you nerd! 😀 I still love you though. And your photo! I kind of miss the car… 😦
I’m more of a dork than a nerd. Seriously, dude.
Thank you, though, Annabelle – I think. 🙂
Me too. 😦
Yes I used to build models too, although I never built a 1957 Chevrolet, it was mainly aeroplanes and tanks with the odd ship thrown in for good measure…
How rude of me not to mention your photograph, indeed I like your wicked portrayal of this fine motor vehicle my friend… Have a great day now Spilledinkguy 🙂

I built a few planes, too… mostly WWII era stuff… and a few other classic cars.
I think I put together a ship once, but I didn’t have as many of those… not sure why that is, really.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, sir – I hope you have a wonderful day as well!
🙂
Niiiiiice.
Love visiting bloggers’ yesterdays…
Sometimes I forget how far back this blog goes already!
Kind of wild, when I stop to think about that!
🙂
Interesting dialogue 😉
And interesting with this plastic Chevrolet.
Hahaha… I re-read this post after your kind comment…
I’m not sure it made much sense to me…
and I wrote it! Probably not a good sign!
🙂
Hahaha, well maybe you will understand it after one whisky or two? 😉
