  1. Nothing on the Moebius website nor Tower Hobbies, but considering the only changes (based on box art) appear to be the grille, I would think it could be here by the first of the year. Hopefully Dave Metzner from Moebius will chime in with an expected date.
  2. I went with Real, cuz if it is a model, it is a very well executed one with great details.
  3. There is an extensive review of the kit on here and it points out a lot about the kit, especially it being molded in red.
  4. Had a meeting with one of my customers and my boss. Sure wish some people lived in the real world and understood how the sales process worked. Thank goodness for a rainy weekend and adult beverages.............
  5. Probably not much I need or want, but a Corvette or two might be nice.
  6. There is the January show in Spartanburg and the May show in Simpsonville. Both great shows to see some nice models and the swap meet area usually has some great deals.
  7. I have never bought a kit at a 1:1 show for the very reasons stated here- too dang high! The guys selling at swap meets are hoping that the people walking the meet aren't aware of Hobby Lobby or our model car swap meets where that same kit could be half as much! When I go a model swap meet to sell, I am the guy that usually walks out with a pocket full of money because I am there to thin the stash and will make deals. Sometimes I regret selling some models so cheaply, but then I remember that the kits have sat in my garage for 10 years and I need to get my stash to a more manageable level. If I go to a swap meet to buy, I will circle the room and look for the guy who isn't a "professional seller" as he can probably make deals. I see some of the same guys and kits at shows around the area and wonder why someone is stuck on a high price for a kit that has been at swap meets for years? I have yet to find a kit I had to have that I was willing to pay a premium for, and if they insist on a premium price, they should try their luck on eBay.
  8. I have always been fascinated about cars and machinery. I grew up at a great time as my oldest brother is 17 years older and he would buy me Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars every week. I would circle the Sears Toy Book every year and Santa brought me lots of cars and trucks. I have the distinction of being born right after Christmas (12/28) and my birthdays were usually pretty good as I got a lot of car stuff as it went on sale after Christmas! Some neighbor friends were given some models by their uncle in the early 70's and I got hooked on them at the same time. Been building on and off for over 40 years, have tried to find some of the kits I destroyed in my youth.
  9. WOW! Very nice and clean, shiny paint and detailed!
  10. Nice pictures, looks like it was a nice show.
  11. Back at ya! Happy with what I received and wouldn't hesitate to trade again.
  12. What he said, X2 !
  13. coming along nicely, can't wait to see it done.
  14. Welcome to the forum, hope the "therapy" helps and don't be afraid to ask questions, great resources here to help.
  15. Welcome, great model club you belong to.
  16. Very nice! Great save, really like the blue.
  17. What is the web address? I am not familiar with the name.
  18. I think before we see a 67 Pace Car, they will milk a couple more hardtops- think Yenko or Z-28. Besides, I have a nice resin '67 Camaro convertible body from Greg Wann to finish!
  19. If that is true, I better dig the couple I have in my stash out and get them on eBay, I'd hate to miss out on getting obscene money for them!
  20. There are various vendors with parts for 70-73 Camaros, who to contact will depend on what you are searching for.
  21. I see some kits on that list Casey that I would buy, hope you are fairly accurate. I would add that Revell could likely give us another version of a first generation Camaro based on their recent issue. Maybe a '68?
  22. Nick, Glad to see you back here, hope you have some builds to share!
  23. Yep, great trade all around. Also have a trade going with Mackvision, will see the kits when I get home but not anticipating any issues.
  24. Glad to be of help and that truck is looking great on those big tires and arched springs. Now get it done and get busy on the next one!
  25. Frank, I would be interested but my participation would hinge upon my travel schedule with work. I had joined the SCMA group in Rock Hill and never made it a meeting because of my job.
