Al, Can you say where you saw that? I checked Tower Hobbies and they have it as April 2015, Mega Hobby shows it as a pre-order (no release date) and I couldn't find any thing at Modelroundup. I was hoping that the revisions wouldn't take too long and they would have this kit out soon, but who knows?

Yep, makes rotating the tires a bit more difficult!

Very nice looking wrecker, neat details and really like the color combo.

Had those as a kid, played with them along side my Hot Wheels and Matchbox vehicles. I'd buy them if they made a comeback.

I agree and these issues are why my WIP is sitting on bench!

James, I understand that your court appointed attorney is probably not the best out there but work with him. Get him details and timelines, family contacts who have had run ins with your father, etc. so he can see for himself that this is not a normal person (your father) you are dealing with. If there are medical issues with your father, make sure he is aware of those as well because like Bob stated above, that could be causing some of this. Best of luck and keep us updated. Hopefully either your father fails to show and the charges are dropped or he is found to be filing false charges and the tables are turned.

very nice! Where did you get the lightbar?

Like their song, Don't Get Fooled Again, I bought into the hype back in 1982 about their "Farewell Tour" and figured it was my last chance to see them. Paid $30+ for the ticket (sounds cheap but was only making $4/hour so it was a days pay!) and bought a t-shirt that I didn't wear until they came around again for yet another tour. I'd like to see AC/DC and will consider it if they aren't charging HUGE $$ for tickets.

Must be a big bonus check from MCM Harry!

Tom, Did you get this at Wal Mart? I saw their website and they were listed as a retailer. I think Hobby Lobby also sells some of these diecast pieces, but in a smaller scale. I really like this truck, wish it was available in kit form!

That is a very nice piece, I will have to check and see if it is available on this side of the country.

First Gen Camaro. Growing up as teenager in the 70's, there were two brothers who lived down the street who had a '68 & '69 Camaro that were the subject of constant wrenching and engine swaps. Spent many nights helping them and learning about cars. First real job (at a car dealership) and met a couple of employees who were into first Gen Camaros as well. They had some really nice cars and from there I have been hooked. I have always had a soft spot for GM muscle cars, old trucks, and street rods but First Gen Camaros remain my favorite.

Your wait is over! Danny at Scenes Unlimited has a set of wheels and tires for this kit to make a dually.

I will be getting my order together this week Danny, sure hope you have lots of these in stock, I think you will sell a bunch!

Nice job Randy! For a model that a lot of people picked apart, yours sure looks great. I am going to have to get busy on mine, right after I finish an AMT '67 Camaro that I was working on.

Those tail light bezels look spot on Randy, that model is coming along nicely!

John, Go to The Modelhaus and you will see a bunch of different resin kits available, depending on what you are after.

Roger, I just checked the Modelhaus website and didn't see the conversion kit for the Jimmy, are you sure they have the parts? I want to build a Jimmy and I can't remember who had the parts, I thought it might be Bandit Resins but they aren't listed on their website either. If you have a link or a list of the part numbers, please share.

Thanks Tim, those looked like nice renditions and hopefully a sign of things to come. I did notice on the Tower Hobbies website that they have these listed for an April 2015 release, were you able to get any updates from Moebius on a release date? I ask because Tower tends to run a couple of months behind and the last word on here from Dave Metzner was possibly December 2014. I am saving my lunch money!

They look great from here sir! Nice and clean details and paint, can't ask for much more!

As always, impressive work Tom! I never would have guessed that started as a wagon.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Nice! Great details and super deep paint. I like it without the front bumper and the wheels are spot on.

Nice job on that Camaro, got a couple of them and need to get started on them soon!

That was my first thought too! Nice job on the weathering and details.

Before you show up in court, take the time to write down timelines and the action you took to try to find your father. If he wasn't in your life growing up, chances are he never paid child support, something worth mentioning to the judge. Detail what has happened since you made contact with your Dad, with information from other family members who have been a part of the experience, and the impact on your life since contacting him. Regardless if he has a medical condition, mental defect or is suffering from dementia, the agony and expense he has put you through is a shame and should not be allowed to go on. Not sure what the standard is for filing these claims with the court are, but if you can explain that he is in the wrong, he could be charged with false claims. You might want to contact the public defender or legal aid department of the county in Tennessee to see if they can help you with your defense. Maybe if you show up with a lawyer your father will see things differently and the nonsense will come to an end. Finally, if he has some financial resources and filing a lawsuit to recover your expenses for these false claims is a possibility, you should consider what is most important to you. Yes, he has caused you great pain (emotional and financial), but it will continue with your lawsuit, so sometimes it is better to "cut bait" and go on. I learned a long time ago it is best to move on and be the "better man", despite what we might feel in the heat of the moment. I wish you a belated Happy Birthday and more importantly, the best of luck with this latest drama.
