  1. Thanks for checking it out, Kyle!
  2. Thanks Bob - appreciate the welcome!
  3. Thanks Francis - I've been following that '72 Dodge Demon Drag Racer you're building - so inspiring! I'd love to get into milling my own parts at some point, but that is quite a bit beyond me at this point. I have been collecting a ton of aftermarket parts - some for this project - some for others, as well as tools, an airbrush (even took a class in how to use it from a local shop). I have quite a bit of detailing stuff to use. Having a ton of fun getting back into building - although I've never attempted anything like this before. i look at it as a great opportunity to learn and i've already learned a lot from this forum just lurking, watching a bunch of YouTube videos and looking at some amazing finished builds.
  4. Thanks for the welcome, Anton! I'm pretty set on trying this approach - who know's if I'll succeed, but I'll learn a ton along the way. I checked out your thread on the Impala SS - damn, man - you've got skills - looks amazing!
  5. Hi folks - new member here! I'm just getting back into the hobby after a long break. I think the last time I build a model kit was when I was 12 (I'm 65 now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ). I've done a bit of lurking on the forum and decided to join when I started my first build. I'm really a rank amateur so bear with me... I've decided to do a 68 Camaro Pro Mod - something like this: I figured I'd share the build process and maybe get some help from the talented folks here along the way! I have really good soldering skills for electrical circuits, so I decided to scratch build the chassis from brass tubing. I'm learning that soldering brass tubes together is quite a bit different than soldering the PCBs for the guitar amps I built for years. Anyway, here is where I am now: I'll sand and clean up the solder joints before adding more. Anyway... enjoying the (slow) process. Steve
  6. Absolutely - no one is really doing what he is doing product-wise! Steve
  7. Site is closed again for a month. Too many orders for one person to handle according to the site now..
  8. I received an email from Robert at rbmotion today. All is well and he said he can fill my order in a couple of weeks. There are a lot of orders ahead of mine as demand is high and heโ€™s really the only one doing this. Anyway, looks like no issue here and I just jumped the gun because of the previous posts about him being on a break from awhile ago.
  9. Thanks much for the welcome, Dennis. Yes - I did email him, but as of now, I haven't heard back.
  10. Hi folks, New member here. I just got back into the hobby - haven't built anything since I was a kid (I'm 65 next week). A few days ago I made a rather sizable order (~ $195) @ rbmotion (https://www.rbmotion.shop/). There was no indication anywhere on the site that they were not in business or not taking orders and the checkout function worked and allowed me to pay via Venmo. I got a confirmation email after my purchase. I wouldn't even be thinking about this since it's only been aa few days, however, I saw a thread here where it seemed that the owner of rbmotion was taking a break until January 2025 or possibly later. Has anyone ordered from rbmotion since the break? Does anyone know if he is back in business? I assume so, since it would seem bad form to leave a working checkout function on the website and no notification of a break. I've emailed the yahoo email provided in my confirmation email from my purchase, but did not hear back. Just looking to get some information here if anyone is in the know. Thanks in advance for any info! And just for the heck of it, here is what I'm working on: Steve
