Neat...there is a two-story McDonalds near me. I've also eaten at a two-story McDonalds in Rome, Italy. The one near me (Independence, Ohio) looks like a bank... https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/ohio/no-other-mcdonalds-in-the-world-oh/

Definitely...would love to do a period stake bed farm truck.

The Official EBay Discussion Thread
Rob Hall replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don't sell (yet) on eBay, but have definitely gotten an earful about the new eBay managed payments..my sister sells Barbie and other dolls on eBay occasionally, and it's been a headache for her... -
It's definitely an unusual way to leak information about future releases...that Pegasus/Moebius is uniquely able to do..

That's in my queue, want to watch it eventually. Another show I recently watched on Netflix or Hulu that I enjoyed was a neat German/Swiss caper called 'Allmen'... lead character was a jewel thief/bon vivant conman turned detective. Great scenery, and the lead actor looked like he was channeling early 80s Bryan Ferry w/ the suits and hair. Another crime drama I recent watched and liked is "The Mountain Detective" on Prime..great scenery in the French alps.

I do enjoy police/mobster movies and shows, just wrapped up Maltese on Prime/PBS..a recent Italian tv miniseries filmed in Sicily and set in Sicily in the 1970s. Lots of neat ‘70s Alfas and Fiats, great cinematography and music. Just started another one, The Hunter (Il Cacciatore), also Italian and filmed in Sicily, on Prime/PBS, but set in the 90s.

Some days I get 4 separate Prime deliveries--sometimes just one small item.

The Official EBay Discussion Thread

Yes, my post should have read 'mostly only Buy it Now recently.' Yes, I did a ton of regular auction bidding the first 10-12 years I was on the service. The last decade, I've bought fewer old kits (I have most everything I want) and mostly new and resin items as Buy it Now purchases. I remember having to pay with postal money orders from buyers that didn't take PayPal, but that's been at least 10 years or more since I've done that...I vaguely remember BillPoint..don't remember the Dutch auctions. -

I've been on eBay since '97, in recently years, though mostly only buying Buy it Now items (resin and diecast, mostly)....once in a while I bid on things, and usually do the last second sniper approach...if the auction ends at a convenient time. Usually successful. That's how I bought a lot of old kits back in the 00s... -
Make sense, the Ramp Truck is going to be an F250 or F350. And there is also the ‘68 F250 pickup coming….
-
Probably parts for a future 4x4 pickup version with optional ‘off road’ accessories. Not on the same tree as the ramp bed parts, so probably in that photo as a bit of foreshadowing of future product.

Round 2 in particular, isn't targeting the next generation or younger adults...it's market is pretty clearly the Baby Boomers and to a lesser degree Gen X (my generation, grew up building in the 80s). Revell seems to be more generalist, but also skews older w/ a lot of subject matter. Atlantis seems to be squarely aiming at Baby Boomers.

1/25 AMT Surf Shark 1959 Cadillac Ambulance
Rob Hall replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Yes, it’s a simple curbside. $42.xx preorder on Model Roundup. Seems high compared to the typical Round 2 reissue. -
The Maverick seems like it would be fine for a small light duty truck. Something like that would be fine for the occasional load of shrubs or bags of mulch from Home Depot. Though my Jeep does that just fine. The Mach-E looks like it would make a nice leased commuter daily driver. Whenever I venture into EVs I may look at one (though the upcoming hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE looks appealing to me also).

My local Mopar dealer keeps bugging me to trade in my Jeep. It's a 2014 w/ 51k miles, low for the age. I checked Carvana and Vroom, they gave me estimated prices of around $20k, which is surprising given the age. A new one in the showroom (virtually identical spec to mine) is stickered at $49k. The Grand Cherokee hasn't changed much since 2014 (a slight facelift in '17), so mine doesn't really look old yet. The all new one (WL) is in progress now (3 row for '21, 2 row for '22). Maybe in a few years I'll trade on another CPO.

A Taycan would be nice to see...along w/ an Audi E-Tron GT. I'd love to see Revell make some current Porsches, like the Boxster GTS 4.0 or a 911 GT3. And for modern American cars, why not a Tesla Model S, Mustang Mach-E, Mustang Mach 1, or Mustang Shelby GT350 or GT500? Wish they had followed up the old Challenger SRT kit w/ a modern Hellcat, Demon, Red Eye, etc... Atlantis' niche is similar to Round 2's---reissuing and sprucing up vintage kits, but narrower in scope.

Baddest Camaro Ever??
Rob Hall replied to TransAmMike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Would be fun to try and build one of these in 1/25th though, using the AMT 6th gen as a starting point, and a resin 572.
