eBay's continuing glitches and general retardation. Friday I asked a seller for an invoice for a multiple purchase. I've done business with the company before, and they're good at timely responses. This time, nothing. So today, I see that eBay had simply DROPPED the two items from my purchase list. I go to try to get the request, and I'm informed that I can't access it because it's more than 30 days old. REALLY? So, after more time spent DOING OTHER PEOPLE'S JOBS, I find a way to re-submit the request. Because I'm careful and usually cover my butt in a world increasingly run by morons, I have copies of BOTH the requests in my email. We'll see...but the more they tinker with making it "better", the more it becomes a piece of trash. And please spare me the EVIL-bay responses. It's not evil. Just stupid. And in other news, I see Amazon is opening...wait for it...brick-and-mortar stores to push their devices.

Ok it seems to be working. ADMIN PLZ DELETE -
There is absolutely nothing new about Revell Germany reboxing Revell US product...and because of that, if and when that box ends up in the US it's a lot more expensive.

Second day of the RREC show and lots of visitors all day to the Hooper & Co diorama table. Sold one Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1 scale model motor car to the owner of the real 1:1 car. Tomorrow, Sunday 24th June the owner has kindly offered to let me drive his Silver Cloud, most probably on grass, around the grounds of Burghley House. I am of course extremely overwhelmed by this opportunity, to drive the best motor car ever produced in the world. David ( thanks Pat from Ontario )

It is a 2000 mile move from the Chicago area to Southwest Washington state about 20 miles from Portland Oregon. We have already made a couple of trips out where some stuff came with like my best builds. But I have over 700 unbuilt kits in 38 boxes. Insurance is not an issue, we will have coverage. -
Thanks, Lee! I use an airbrush and a light spray of Tamiya Transparent Orange.
-
Only discounts I could see here were on the airbrushes(and they weren't much).

I have to agree with Steve on this one. Several years ago we moved from Texas back to Illinois. We packed everything ourselves. All the movers had to do was put stuff in the truck and drive it here. We had everything marked, which turned out to be one of our mistakes. When we unpacked we found 2 boxes of delicate antiques that had obviously been bounced like a basketball. The box was carefully marked, "FRAGILE - BREAKABLES". The other problem was that the box marked, "COIN & STAMP COLLECTIONS" somehow got lost in transit. My new rule - I move delicates and fragile items myself. Period. -

Nice color choice....! You did a nice job on it..! ...you would think it would be a better fit kit...! -
Very nice. I really like the exhaust toning. How did you do it?

Here's the rear end of the cheap Welly diecast. They got hella closer to the real shape than AMT/ERTL did, wouldn't you say? Too bad it's very slightly undersized--I think it might be 1/26. The front end/headlights are way better than the AMT reissues, too. Only thing wrong with this thing is they stuffed up the shape of the roof, much the same way Polar Lights did with the '64 GTO. I wonder if that can be fixed?
-
It is a European spec 68.

Very nice Rendition

Thanks, Brian! Thanks, Jim! Thanks, Bob! Thanks, Keith! Thanks, Dave! Thanks, Johnny!

Hey there everyone this is my first time posting on here so the pictures might be a little bad looking sorry. Today I picked up a 1975 mpc Datsun pickup I’m going for the street rod look. I got the wheels and tires finished as well as the bed. More to come later.- Snaker

My biggest issue is that I do not trust someone else to move my prized possessions. We have all seen how packages can arrive in the mail or what kind of condition your luggage can be returned in when you just take a simple plane trip. Many times these guys are not particularly interested in keeping your possessions absolutely safe. They just want to get the job done so that they can make it to happy hour on time. Plus, as Bill stated, if you're worried about your priceless "plastic" models sitting somewhere in the 100 degree heat for 2 weeks as I would, you might want to take that possibility into consideration. I would advise that if at all possible, I would move them myself. Steve -
