Nobody new has contacted me, no.

[gpugh1976]

I did.

[Lordmodelbuilder]

I sent you a PM on here. Lets go for it! Brad

[BKcustoms]

PM sent.

While I have not been posting to the thread, I have been watching.

As one of the contributers/builders on the original Snowball project, I would really like to see this one move on and get completed. Snowball vanished literally for years, then showed up again looking great in paint, but to this day as far as I now, still not finished.

From what I have read here, it would seem that some of the original builders may no longer be involved, but there still seems to be enough other folks to be willing to take up the slack.

Please, build on!

id like to know or get update pics prefferably where snow ball stands now?....pending on what was done...i may have a suspension idea?

[Abell82]

I have Snowball, right now.

My appologies I have been stalling.

Part of the problem is that members come and go so quick I find it a challenge to figure out who it should go to next.
Not to mention a couple have changed thier on line names.

As of right now the line up will be:

Jason Vandergriff
Lordmodelbuilder
Fuelcoupe
Bkcustoms
Gpugh1976
Roadhawg
Bandit1


This is always subject to change of course.

Any objections?

no prob jason....i only have one problem though...its when i would go mail it back out to someone else ...i dont have the money to do it...but i can scratch a suspension for it ....that flows with the build if you would like ...maybe someone can help me if i was to get snowball???

[Modelbuilder Mark]

One possiblity could be that when a piece of the job needs to be done, say your suspension idea, or maybe dash, or whatever, when you may not need to get the whole box and the rest of the model, you get or start with only that portion you need. Do you have a similar frame around that you could mock everything up on? If so, you might not even need to get the kit at all to participate for example. If so, then you would only be mailing a small padded envelope at a much smaller cost to the person that has the model at that time.

Any thoughts?

[bandit1]

actually last i know of mark...the frame has been extensivally moded so much....and i dont even have one of those similar frames?

I really hate to be the downer here but I am going to anyway. Let me explain this to you...

First NO ONE is gauranteed anything, or position or this or that, until their time comes.
So getting your heart set to make the chassis is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Second You are like 5th in line.
This means it could be as little as 5 months or as long as 2 years before you ever lay hands on it (the way things are going.) .
Are you seriously telling every one on the board, that you plan on not having 10-15 dollars in 5 months -2 years?

Someone check my math but by my calculations all you need is $.10 per day. to make 15.00 in 5 months. {5months @30 days /15.00}

My advice to you is to plan for success rather then failure.

(I have "proof" read this and it comes off more harsh than it is really meant too. BUT it gets the point across, so I'll leave it.)

My thoughts on this? You are dead right. A person petitioning for a place in this really should not advertise themselves at the exact sort of person that causes these builds to fail in the first place! (I'll go away now.)

Any updates on this? seeems like a lot of wasted work for some of us?

I can see how you'd feel that way, after trying to take on most of the whole project by yourself.

To the rest I have pmed Jason Vandergriff, I have not heard back.
I will wait 1 more week. After that it will default to the next in line.... Lord Modelbuilder.

Excuse me sticking my nose in, but if someone doesn't respond to a PM for weeks, what will they be like with the build itself?

[Modelbuilder Mark]

A very valid point.

[Abell82]

So be it. ...Lord Modelbuilder has been sent a PM.

[plowboy]

So be it. ...Lord Modelbuilder has been sent a PM.

He's been a member since Nov of '06, only made 23 posts and was last active in December of '11. You be the judge.........

Did he ever reply??

So, you two have already judged me just because I didn't see the last PM sent to me and the fact that I haven't posted at least 1,388 posts.
Really is sad.
