I emailed Peter regarding the delay in releasing the '57 Nomad. He said the reason for the delay is that he's making changes to the tool.
If its the old, late 60’s 1/25 scale Revell tool, it needs a lot of work. As I’ve stated previously, I’m looking forward to the Revell tool coming back. It’s by far superior (IMO) to the 1/24 scale Monogram version.

Does anyone know if Atlantis got the 68 and/or 69 Dart kits from Revell? Would love to get a couple more of them in the future. I need to get some better pictures of this one I built.
Beautiful. I love the “Mod Top.”

Looking forward to the Bronco. I may pickup the Gurney Lotus too.
I’m a bit surprised the Rickshaw is coming back. Every time I’ve seen photos photos of it in recent years, I’m shocked how “politically incorrect” that thing is. The box art alone is a bit embrassing. Sorry, if you don’t agree. It’s just my opinion.

Good looking deuce.

Very kool. I like all three.

Cool build. Hard to imagine snoopy would drive anything else. Well maybe a golf cart.
He also drives a motorcycle with a sidecar for his little buddy Woodstock to ride in. Monogram use to make a model of that also. I’m waiting for Atlantis to reissue that one.

Okay, I just finished building Atlantis’ Snoopy Ice Hockey kit. So far the quickest and easiest of the five Snoopy kits I’ve built to this point. And probably the one that interests me the least. I am not a sports fan in any way. And I hate winter, despite living in Minnesota. Sports + Winter = things like Hockey, which I dislike and avoid. Yet I had so much fun building the other Snoopy kits. Plus, I like Snoopy’s little pal Woodstock. I had to buy and build this one too. I had enough fun building it, I’m glad I did.
Now I’m waiting for Atlantis to reissue Snoopy and his Motorcycle with Sidecar. Another kit that includes good old Woodstock.

I’ve had so much fun with the four Atlantis Peanuts kits I purchased and built, I had to buy a fifth. It came in today’s mail.

From the photos I can see, that is one beautiful Charger.

Oh oh! A bit of a fly in ointment. My kit is missing both outer front wheels. Parts number 48. Everything else is there. I wonder why these two part missing? And only these two? I’ve never had to get replacement parts from Atlantis before. I’m curious to see how they handle those problems.
It looks like Atlantis’ service is as good as their models. They have informed me, that the replacement parts I need are already in the mail on their way to me. What more can one ask for?

They are on the chrome tree ,there centerlines .
They are not on my chrome tree. The backs are there. The fronts and backs for the rear wheels are there. I know where they should be. I did not not know where to find them.

Very nice job.

Gorgeous looking Ford.

I love those Frankie and Annette beach movies. And I like the replica model you, Gustavo, built from one of their classic movies.

Interesting and attractive looking car.

I'd probably go for the Bugatti as I'm a race fan more than a surf fan.
The Bugatti is just fun. I hope you saw the one I just recently built. Also show here.

Thank you for the review. Sometimes I like to get a goofy kit like this to have some fun from serious building but I want it to be worth it in the end. Your experience helps me to decide if I would buy it or not. Nice job btw.
So are you going for it? I hope so. It is really a fun little kit.

I built this last night with my 3 year old granddaughter. Same issue with the motor not having enough power to complete the motion cycle. Easy fix was dip a finger in vegetable oil, a drop of iol on all shafts at the rotating points and like magic it works perfectly!!!! Try it. Make sure to do the starting shaft where it goes through the frame also.
Thank you for the advice on fixing the motor problem. I’ll give it a try.
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....

I still want the full-size Gemini space capsule that Revell gave away back in the late 60’s.
