Dear Atlantis bring this one back !!!
Daddyfink replied to milo1303s's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I have a resin body of this and some decals I scored at a kit show out of a misc. goodies box. But one time I did have a chance to buy a mint kit for only $75! And I passed because I thought it was too much, and it probably was about 20 years ago! LOL! Image from the web -

If I remember correctly, the Digger Cuda has the Ivo chassis under it. -
Tamiya Polishing Compound
Daddyfink replied to ewetwo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If I remember correctly, every time California changes or adds a rule to certain chemicals, new labeling has to be done or the items tested to see if they meet the new criteria. And since Tamiya is California based here in the U.S., they have to comply and thus the hold ups. It happens every few years, from paints to glues, and now Polishing Compound. -

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Daddyfink replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I do buy from Atlantis because they are bringing things back that as mentioned before, did not exists anymore. Some of their box art has been pretty much re-done original box art. And that is nice, but I do understand why they might be using new art, and that is simply because the existing art was not meant for individual sales. The parts kits models where sold in sets and breaking them up does require new box art. As a box art afficionado, and somewhat of an artist myself, I just don't like the new boxes. Nothing against the artist, that is his style, but it is not box art type art to me. These are the paintings you see someone selling on the lawn at a car show. Maybe he will paint your car with you favorite pet in it or something. There are tons of art options out there and I am sure lots of artist who would love to work with them to do box art, but did they ask a few folks or just saw this art somewhere and went for it? Who knows. They could wrap up these kits in butcher paper and I would still buy them. Luckily I have the originals and that is plenty good for Shelf Decor. -

But did he? Just going but what I know. And really, who cares, it all started because of the horrible box art. There, I said it! LOL! -

I know who he is, I know what he did. Why does everyone feel like giving history lessons on this guy. So Ford and Mickey Thompson didn't design those cars? Keeler did? -
