LOVE the B Model Mack! Would really like to see her coming home to MY house! Where is it?

I did politely point out to him that it sure would be nice if he refunded all who entrusted him with money. He was not so polite in return. He HAS been down right nasty on Facebook. But, when you scam and lie and rip people off, you can't expect them to be all sugar and spice when asking for their money back. ESPECIALLY when you intentionally ignore them for so long. All I can say is to advise everyone who hasn't received a refund to conta ct him as I did, and take the same road. Be polite but DON'T GIVE UP. AND, do it in public on Facebook. It worked for me. And, YES, I would LOVE to see the Talbert see the light of day. I would buy at least 2 or 3. Doubtful that the master will ever find it's way back home, especially if the attitude and behavior of Travis holds true. And, no, it's not propaganda.......................it is FACT.

I have achieved success! Got the refund from Travis. I suggest all others who have not yet done so, to persevere! Don't give up!

Yeah, I may have gotten his attention a little bit, but he is still doing the best imitation of a mushroom farmer, as far as communication is concerned, that I have ever seen, (keep us in the dark and feed us LOTS of bovine defecation!). Last I heard from him was Monday when he said, he would "get to it". Right.................................and I am expecting hundred dollar bills to fall from the heavens any time soon too! Looks like he is all show, no go. I have filed with the FTC. We'll see how far that gets. In the mean time, back to the hobby, the heck with the scammers! Guess I will get to doing my own lowboy. Anyone out there have any drawings, photos of the detachable mechanism? Thanks!

I use a Paasche unit with regulator, auto on and off depending upon pressure, and a storage tank. I have not had moisture problems...............yet. It was not expensive and powers both my Paasche V and H brushes very well.

Since it seems that he refuses to maintain contact with any of those that he scammed, and he DID reply to me via Facebook after I posted a uncomplimentary review, go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/TT-Model-Truck-Parts-594190207347228/timeline/, and post your own review of his services and products. At least it will let any other unsuspecting people know that he is a scammer. I have not gotten a refund yet, but I DID get his attention.

I was one of the hopeful who sent HIM a DEPOSIT..................six months ago. I FINALLY got a message back from him only after I posted a review of his work on Facebook. To be honest, I have ZERO faith that I will get a refund of the deposit. He sent me a very rude message that I won't go into. Suffice it to say that after he said he would send a refund if I sent him an email about how and when I paid him, which I did, I have not heard a thing....................again. He sure does seem like he has totally lost his credibility and has zero intention of refunding anyone. But, at least I got his attention, and now he at least KNOWS without a doubt that his name is mud in the modelling community. Lets see how he plays it out............................or not.

JUST got a message from Travis in response to a review I posted on his Facebook page. Granted, the review was a little bit scathing, but after sending a deposit to him over six months ago, and not hearing a WORD from him, I ran out of ideas on how to contact him. He said his email account was hacked, and that he got none of the phone messages I left him. Good news is he said he would send a refund. I also suggested to him that he let the modelling community know what happened, through the same channels that he announced his project, as he has taken a bit of a hit with this failure. Will keep you posted as to what transpires!

Besides model building of ALL types, my other hobbies are old cars and trucks, motorcycling, hunting, shooting, gun collecting, my dogs, and most importantly, my family. I am a compulsive collector. I have large collections of toys, probably two thousand books on history, vehicles and guns, and a huge gun collection. FINALLY got rid of most of my vehicle collection when I moved and simply didn't have room in the new garage, (old one was 50 x 100......new one isn't close to that!). Life is too short......no where near enough time OR money!

Went to school to be a teacher, switched to engineering. Mechanical engineering, (textile and then paper machinery), world travelling installing said machinery, switched to heavy construction when it got old to be away from home. Did that until a work injury killed my back. Complete change of direction to owner of a full service garage, body and collision shop, (cars, big rigs, and heavy equipment), towing service and restoration shop, with my oldest son running the place. Finally gave in to my injury and then suddenly found myself owner of a gun shop when my Dad died. Now I own a gun and gunsmithing shop, with my sons who will be the fourth generation owners, with my youngest son running it. Someday, I'll figure out what I want to do when I grow up! Life takes LOTS of twists and turns! It's sometimes hard to keep up!

Gator, IT techs are like politicians. They need to keep fixing things in order to keep justifying their jobs and to ensure job security! The system works fine, so now they have nothing to do...............lets FIX it!

Looking at your super nice build is making me miss the 1:1 1969 C10 I had that was the Chevy version of yours, same trim, but in gold with a white roof, and a 350 with 2.02 heads..............a real tire turner! But also a rot box! I miss it though. NICE WORK!!!! You have a lucky uncle!

I kind of figured that the Talbert thing went bust. I have been trying to contact Travis for a refund. But, there has been no response to emails, telephone or Facebook contacts. Sadly, it looks like another good idea fallen into a scam, whether intentional or not. Too bad, as it looked like a nice project. As with ANY venture of this type, communication is of paramount importance. AND, good communications is often harder to achieve than a good casting!

Even though I am new to this forum, I DID order one of these trailers in early April. No reply to any inquiry for info, nothing. I AM hopeful to receive SOMETHING , but who knows when. I DO understand being backed up. Travis, simple communication will help. KJ, are YOU marketing your trailers yet? WANT ONE!

I am new to this forum................howdy! I have been building for about 50 years or so. I build 1/25th cars and trucks, and like to build trucks more than anything. I am in Vermont, am a gun dealer in real life, and build for the fun of it! Thanks!
