Can-Con Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 That's a good kind of problem to have Steve. We should all be so fortunate. It's also nice to hear of a good kind of problem on here instead of some more of the darker stuff in the past few years. I'm shure you'll figure out a fitting solution to the problem.

disabled modeler Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Very cool thing to happen Steve....there is still some great kind people out there that can think of others too. As you know in 2011 I lost 75% of my stuff in the tornado and many of the rest got damaged and will need hard to find parts before I can save/restore what is left of them. I use to have some really nice old Mopar kits and promos between me and my dads old stuff....nice to hear a good positive thing happening in this world today.

Oldcarfan27 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 There are some very kind, helpful, and generous guys here on this forum (they know who they are) Treating kindness for kindness, this world would be a lot better if we were in competition to "outdo each other in generosity" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I'm sure you will make the right decision. But I agree if your sure you will never build it, either pay it forward or trade for something you will build. On a similar note a couple years ago a good friend of mine gave me a sealed Ramchargers Challenger funny car. ( broke the outside seal but it remains sealed inside ) The car is not accurate to the 1/1 so odds I will will never build it. But would feel bad if I sold or traded it off. So it will stay on my shelf . My heirs can decide what to do with it someday later ,,,MUCH later I hope Edited October 19, 2018 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPNM Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I haven't read all the posts here, there are quite a few suggestions. Here's mine: I personally would be wary of a Pay it Forward, it seems to get argumentative. At one time I had a want ad up looking for a particular pickup truck. A member here sent me one that he had been working on that he wasn't going to finish. He paid the shipping. A while later I was looking to trade for some kits. A member here wanted one of my kits but had nothing to trade me for it. The kit meant a lot to him so I shipped it to him as a thank you to the member who sent me the pick up. If you trade models here, one thing that may work is to put the kit you got in the background of one of your trade pic posts. Someone who is extremely interested will ask about it I'm sure. One thing is all who have read this post will be looking for a mid 60s Mopar in the background now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is all who have read this post will be looking for a mid 60s Mopar in the background now. I really had no interest in making this an all out "pay it forward" thing where the recipient would be expected to pay something forward as well. I just want to basically give it away to someone who will keep it and build it with no expectations beyond that. I've been toying with the idea of just adding it to my latest thread in the trade section just to see what shakes out. I have a few individuals in mind who I have dealt with in the past whom I respect immensely & are highly interested in this sort of kit, and would likely keep & build it. The problem is that these are the same individuals who are the most likely to already have one! I don't know, maybe I should just post it up in the trade section as a sort of "prize" for the best reason why I should give it to you! But, as you say, I don't want to make it into a spectacle!

Lunajammer Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Is there any rush? I have a feeling if you hang onto it, you'll know when the right person comes along. You seem to be fairly connected to builders of like mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well, I'm guessing the guy who sent it to you wanted you to build it. So... build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have no doubt you'll find a worthy, loving home for it. There are a lot of great builders on this board and I'm sure you know who would really appreciate whatever it is. And by the way, this falls into the category of Good Problems.

Once you've built a couple of those other subjects going back to one you've already built can be a nice project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
