Alfalfa Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Uhhhh. Very nice kit, The Spider AND the Monza. This Spider is the one i really like to get. But i prefer the "Scuderia Ferrari" one. You can see it in my Avatar and nickname: Alfa Romeo is my Company!

Twokidsnosleep Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I agree with you The Scuderia and the Muletto are two more Alfa Pocher kits I would like Perhaps if I actually build these two first, then the gods of modelling will grant me access to the other two I don't want to turn into a collector, rather be a builder!

Alfalfa Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi. For me ist to late. Now im a collector who like to build. But im not a collector who likes to make mony with it! My heart is with evry kit i have. will build my modells by my self if the time is right! I like it if i go to my storage and i can see what i have. Not "This car i must build, then i have no another one in my storage". You now what i mean? Your Spider is realy nice! Thumbs up for it! My Ferraris are ever Italien red. I dont know why, maybe i think a Ferrari MUST be red by my own. This is the only Color for a classic italian sports car for me. Hey guys. I only can Response: Sorry for my poor english. I hope if im here some times i can learn and have some practise. For my builds AND for my english..... Alex from ass cold Bavaria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Having owned 4 Alfas, I'm a dyed- in-the-wool fan, regardless of how those cars bankrupted me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Agree with both of you. I am collecting what I like so that I may build it when I want. I expect the Pochers to be harder to find in kit form in the future, but probably old beat up ones will resurface as collectors die and their relatives sell them. Then I can do re-builds  But only red for Ferraris ,nah Edited October 6, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Scott, waiting patiently (pun intended); what's up with this one?? You're getting on my new posting schedule....s-l-o-w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Cato, in a word Nothing I am currently 4,351 km's away from my Pochers and all my other kits Both are stored safely under my modelling desk awaiting their turns I have two Pocher Ferraris, both partially built, coming from E Bay when I get back So, in a nutshell, nothing going on for any Pocher at the moment, I am in acquisition mode We have a house demolish and re-build looming, so I don't want to break out any huge build that might get lost when we move to temporary digs. In fact, I think I will store my model stash at my office for safekeeping But when I get my workshop and modelling room done, then it is Pocher time!

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Oh man, I have 6 kits coming from e bay that I bought ; four Bugattis in smaller scales and the two Pocher Ferraris. And am winning bids on two more Ferrari kits I think I need to stop surfing e bay, like immediately! Cato, it is easier to collect them than make them Edited March 12, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Taking vacations, renovating your house, surfing ebay, buying smaller scales - soon you'll say that sleeping is necessary! You even took the time to have TWO kids! You've got to get your priorities right Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ya, I know right, it should all be about me Cripes sometimes I even have to work if you can believe that That balance in life is a tortuous thing.....half the time I feel guilty for the modelling time I steal as it is Nothing gets me more than when my puppy dog gets up from her sleepy spot, saddles over to my chair and lays her head on my leg for attention. That is how I know I need to stop the modelling and do other stuff. Kids do same thing, asking for homework help or showing me artwork they are doing.....then I stop modelling and give them some time. Those Pocher kits deserve space, time, skill and attention..... so they wait a bit longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well not to get serious on you but you're right; spending time close to your important ones is something we all need. I am deeply involved with catching-up on care and love after a 40 year career and a 27 year 1:1 Cobra passion project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Cato, I have been splashing some photos of a F40 I am making in this fujimi enthusiasts community build...it is a nice and slow, no timeline kind of WIP thread http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95480&page=6 That is my current project, along with a little Bugatti 1/43 that I bought built, axemurdered and decided to restore on the sly http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99072&hl= Just in case you needed some reading to put you to sleep Hope all is going well for you two. I appreciate the chat and Pocher motivation; love to see you getting some time to work on your RR Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't get this thread. Is there any actual building going on here? Or is it just talking about maybe building... some day? If necessary, I can always post a few pix of my two Pocher Alfas to liven things up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
