  1. Yep, I think that is the best idea too
  2. Thanks Bruce, but Oh you are making an old man think here It is some small nondescript electrical wire I had that looked right in scale, maybe even unravelled picture frame wire. I doubled a length over in the middle to make a loop and make it look like two wires then I dipped it in Tamiya flat yellow XF-3
  3. If he does read this, all the solutions to his problems are right here. Basically a business 101 lecture. First in, first out is a good start.
  4. I agree getting too big too fast is a problem all across the business world. But he should STOP TAKING ORDERS RFN!!! Funny the website has been "down" for communication for months, but can still takes new orders no problem.....hmmm Make your current customers that have sent you money months ago happy first, then re-organize staffing etc and restart. We want your business to survive Buddy, just not run like this.
  5. Restoring glue bombs is a form of self punishment to appease the gods for all the evil you have inflicted on the world I have a stupid notion about rescuing something that deserves to be repaired and it always turns out to be more work that a new kit would be. Subject and price are drivers for me....cheap and what I like. Current ones are Bugatti, Porsche 911, '65 Mustang, AC Cobra and a Mercedes. None have been completed yet
  6. I am following along my order with a USPS e mail update as I got sent a tracking # this time. SO far it says it is at origin transport airport in Florida.....that is farther than any of the other two made it Getting my hopes up. I see the owner doing comments in the video, so he has not just bailed out. I actually am rooting for him to turn things around and get the order and delivery end of Gravity going. We need small companies like this to succeed. So I do wish him well on the shutdown and re-tool.
  7. We had same year one of theses back in the day...just a V6, not the Cobra package. It was dubbed "The Rocket" by my family and a perfect description...went like hell in a straight line but couldn't turn and had no brakes. Maybe we needed a parachute
  8. Oh you evil evil man...of course I googled those AWESOME!!! Now buying PE and detail sets are NOT buying kits, ya?! Same as tools. Tools do not count as new kits. Wife just gave me S for the credit card charges so far this year...the old excuse "I could spend it on booze, chicks and drugs" only works so many times PS thanks for that info, bookmarked the link
  9. As I am trying to figure out how to display this build, a friend pointed out that if it is in pit lane, it would have the side pods installed and on its wheels...only stripped down in the closed garage. So these are the last photos with side pods off
  10. This is over Feb and March, and only the car subjects. Every New Year I say I am not buying any more kits..... ya, that is enough for now?
  11. i can totally see you riding this around the yard this Easter
  12. Holy S what an update!!!! You just keep blowing us away with every picture I am thoroughly impressed, WOW!
  13. This always happens to me....I keep quiet until something sends me over the edge and I flip out. Twice now with Gravity Colours So I contacted Paypal and did a complaint vs Gravity this morning as per a post on here suggested. This afternoon, I have a notice about a package being shipped to me from....wait for it...Gravity paints Apparently the threat of loosing $ from a third party is the way to go if you have been hosed on an order. I wont count my chickens before they hatch, but.... I do hope the owner can get the business end of things together, I am sure he is feeling pretty overwhelmed...So stop taking new orders, fill the existing customers and live up to your word!!!!
  14. Can you link the tube video?? They have cut off FB contacts now. The website contact is never replied to. He should stop taking orders ASAP and catch up. Why take orders you cannot fill?? They SHOULD have stopped orders in January, caught up on past orders, re-aligned the staffing needs and then started up fresh. Now he has pissed off a bunch of people
  15. Yes, something is up with this company and it is not good. Please don’t order from their website, you will get taken...or at least your money will
  16. Great looking workspace set up. Following along with the build...good luck
  17. Oh dude hang in there...lots of rest, fluids and chicken soup...really does work Where did you get the Stig figure...I think I need one
  18. Thank you gentlemen for all the comments and encouragement So next up was putting together the sub assemblies ...engine on, cockpit in and seatbelts made. I used the paper Tamiya belts from the kit, they are ok but would use fabric in the future Testing out a little cowling off display idea
  19. Those are the kit moulded bolts...just highlighted gold, maybe a dark wash around them, can’t remember
  20. Got most of the decals done today, getting closer to finishing her
  21. Good day at the office...despite being at work on my day off My order for braided lines came in, so I am hosing up like a maniac tonight!! I will get the rear clip all done up and assembled with hoses in place...at least that is my goal for this evening
  22. I have had the same as most..order Nov27 ‘17, nothing arrives had to sign up to Facebook to get a message to them, resent February 5th ‘18 and we are now at mid March?? It could be Canadian Customs as well, but for the small volumes of paint, they have been allowing shipping ok. I wish I had read this thread before I ordered...may be a nice guy, but the business end is sorely lacking
