Very nice job on an old classic kit. Very kool. Scott

Even that's too much for me. Scott

The angle of the real car and model car are not photographed exactly the same, Harry. I think we're being a little quick on making judgements on the body using this photograph. Scott

The Spohn makes the Aurora (above) look good. If that's possible. Scott

Watching one right now! Svengoolie on MeTV is showing the great classic, the Incredible Shrinking Man. One of my all time favorites. Scott

Harry, I thought Barris changed the top to a darker tan not white? And at the same time changed the interior from white to the same darker tan? Scott

Wow! That is a Tucker! Very cool. Scott

Very nice. I'm glad to see these Camaros getting built. Scott

Oh, by the way, good luck if you try to do a model of the quintessential TV Batmobile. I found a web site one time that looked at each Batman episode looking at the changes made to car #1 alone through out the series. They were changing something on that car just about every week! Some very minor. Others like the canopy and steering wheel somewhat major. I wonder how much of this was also going on with the Monkeemobile throughout that series too. We know about the door logo. How many other changes were there? Scott

I agree with Jesse above. Even if the white top is not correct, I like the looks of it. And when the time comes to build my model, I'll do it that way. But what color does one paint the dash? I'm thinking black, to go along with the black carpet. Scott

Doesn't AMT's '49 Ford have the single exhaust molded into the chassis, with a nearly exact second exhaust setup to glue in, for dual exhaust? I know for sure it was an older AMT kit. I just can't remember which one for sure. Scott

I work with High School kids, Nick. And I agree with you. Scott

Just watched and enjoyed Operation Petticoat again last night. Still love the bit about telling the MPs the stolen pig was a sick drunken sailor they were bring back to their sub. Fun movie. Scott

Hey I was born here. And I'm not quite smart enough to figure out how to move away. I think it may be because of something I did a past life that I am forced to live here. And suffer through every winter. Scott

Yep, that may rank up there as the ugliest car ever. Scott

299 Euros? What's that convert to in US dollars? Either way, it's way to rich for my pocketbook. Scott

Looks fantastic! Scott

That's the version of the Piranha(s) I would still like to see. But, I'll still buy the one coming in January. Scott

I'm sorry. But the more I look at those 4-piece 8 lug wheels, the less I like them. Is this a deal breaker in me buying the kit? No, but they just don't look right, or good to me. It's interesting, I've never compared other 8 lug model kit wheels to the real thing. Never thought to. They just looked right over all. The Moebuis ones, while I like the technical sophistication of them, allowing them to be more easily painted. The fin spacing and the lugs do not not look right. And shouldn't the hub caps have PONTIAC MOTOR DIVISION stamped in them? I hate to criticize anything Moebius does. They are still some of the best kits out there. This kit scares my a little bit. Great choice for subject matter. But, the wheels and the belt line at "C" pillar worry me that the kit may not be up to previous Moebius standards. Again, it will not stop me from buying the Ventura at least. But, I will not be as pleased with the kit as I have been with previous Moebius purchases. Scott

Great job! Beautiful. Scott

Interesting. I'd like to learn more about how it was designed and engineered. A beautiful piece of art. Scott

The two sources you offered links to make me unsure on the top color. If the top is tan. It's a very light tan. Not like what was seen on later variations of the Monkeemobile. Which for sure had a tan top and interior. The interior should always be white with black carpet. The color of the dash? It's not tan as used later on. Nor white as some sources have claimed, and some models have shown. Scott

Tan top Harry? Are you sure of that? All of the photos I've ever seen of the car from the 60's sure look white to me. Later in the 80's the car showed up with a tan top and interior. I keep the above picture on file just to remind me of what the original colors for the interior were. One of the cars the Monkees themselves use in the 1980's a later, had a tan interior with a tan dashboard. This never seemed right to me. Sorry that picture does not show the color of the top. But again, the pictures I've seem from back in the day, look white to me. Scott

I'm still pro GM. Every non GM vehicle I've owned has never been as good of a car or truck as my GM vehicles have been. A lot of the other brands have been good. And I have had problems with my GMs from time to time. But in general, The GMs have that give me the best overall performance, comfort, dependability, and value for my dollar. Has GM made a lot of mistakes in the past? And even in the present? Yes. And they were/are stupid mistakes that should not have been made in many cases. And there are times I get tired of reading about GM's shenanigans. And think about changing my brand loyalty. But, then I get into one of many GM products I've owned over the years, turn the key, and am reminded of why I like their products best. I do think some of the GM bashing is a little unfair. And again, it is some what deserved. General Motors is big. It's built/builds a lot of cars and trucks. So it's recalls will tend to be big too. There are a lot of cars and trucks they've built that are not recalled too. Does this justify the bad products and mistakes they've made? No. But let's keep a realistic view of things here. There is a reason they were once the largest producer of cars and trucks in the world. And it wasn't because everything they built (or build) was BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. What will my next car or truck be, when the time comes? It's hard to say. But there is a better than 50/50 chance it will be a GM product. Scott

Again, it's not polite to use that four letter word around me. I'm quite insulted. Take away the "S" and the "W" and you'll get my opinion on the white stuff. Scott
