I'll be picking up a couple of Snoopy kits. I have relatives who are crazy for Peanuts. What great gifts these will be all painted up nice.

Well there it is. How can they let this happen? Stupid money grabbers I'll wager.

And it's gone............................................

This was on the reissue list and they did say they had everything to do it. At least that was the scuttlebutt a year or so ago. Cool build BTW.

The X Series were decent guitars for the money. Like you said, an upgrade here and there and they are gig worthy instruments.

Flapjack? Heck yeah! I had one as a kid. No stickers this time make em decals and I'll buy several for certain.

Oh PLEASE release those 1/32 drag cars! The Daniel stuff like the construction stuff as well. I built those as a kid and loved em. With modern techniques in weathering/chipping I they could be made to look amazing.

This is very nice OOB. Smooth black paint is always tricky and you pulled it off quite well. I have the AMT reissue, and that is going to be quite cool should I ever get to it.

I'll echo what everyone else said. It held up very well indeed and the level of detail is quite excellent for 1985. I have an unbuilt I may have to visit if I can get Warhammer stuff off my bench.

I really want one of those San Dimas Charvels in a big way and that shell pink is somehow manly enough. I bet that thing is fierce. You have good eye there Dan. It's the WRXMG Warrior. So it sits just under USA made Jackson's and above the J32 and other Asian made Jackson's. It's a great guitar that suffered from a Floyd Rose Special. I did the upgrades to it and now it's a proper thrash machine.

That certainly made a difference. I'll bet it plays better as well. Here is my current state of gear. My Martin D18 is not in the pic since I posted this to a Metal guitar player forum. But you get the idea. Some of this stuff I've owned for 3 decades or more.

Interesting that. Good to know. Thanks

I'm on the e-mail list to get one. I buy from Spot often. I had one and sold it a year ago since they were going for so much money at the time. Time to get two. Ant the reference is incorrect, it's a 67 not 65/66. They even reference Revell 65/66 kits which is wrong. You use the AMT 67 Shelby kit as a base.

I am very excited, but after seeing your review I wonder why would they make a one piece [suspension included] chassis when the opportunity to make one with separate and accurate pieces was in front of them. And then include pieces that will [for me] go in the recycling bin. Did i miss something? Or is the chassis they are using old as well? Just seems a no brainer. I'll get a couple of course.

Sorry for this pass my friend. My Mums had a stroke 2 years ago and it was so bad she nearly went to the Lord. She cannot speak well and her right side is no longer functioning. So I get where you are. i call her almost every day and see her once a week since this whole mess happened. I used to go a few times a week but now it's a half hour once a week till further notice. Every day is a gift bro.

The coolest thing I've seen this week and I've been around. Very creative indeed.

Great build of a vehicle that ran up here in the NE a lot. Back in the early 70's my dad would bring me to NE Dragway in Epping NH and it was such a thrill to see this run. Great effort.

Alexis is a great trader. Will happily trade with again.

I've been looking for this kit forever. Do you mind telling me where you got it? I'm a foremost collector of all things Heavy Metal magazine and by virtue of being a modeler I've always hungered for this very kit. Taarna is a personal fave of mine, and this kit is near and dear to me. You did a very nice job on it also. TIA Bob

I bought a handful of motorcycle kits off Gregg about 5 years ago. All behind the scenes. There, I said it. I was asked to not mention it but I have.

Which is why I am less here all the time Bobby. One day I'll be done altogether. I was a serious contributor some time ago, and for years. We, all of us all not immortal. THIS is the only site I am a member of that does not allow selling between members. Backwards? Heck yeah... Seriously weak...

What needs to happen here on this site is the allowing of sales between veteran members. E-model cars is a joke [No Offense, but it is]. I trust a great many here to send things and Paypal is always an option. The buying and selling must be allowed if many of us older guys are to thin to people who care about what we have and have plans to build our treasures. Moratorium on "No Selling here"

Your patience and hard work are clearly on display here. What a lovely build.

I'd stay away from downtown LA that's a certainty.
