They carry some....but yet to see any Atlantis automotive kits at HL.........
-
Hobby Lobby was well stocked today. Even had 2 Demon kits. The kit is not on my list so I passed. There were 3-4 kits I could pick up but ended up with my 3rd AMT 60 Ford P/U kit. Each time I buy one I think of new ways to build it so for $21 a good deal!!!!! Took the wife to JoAnns Fabrics and I found a Atlantis Ex Monogram Mack stake bed truck. JoAnns had a 50% off coupon so this kit was only $15!!!! JoAnn's does carry all the Atlantis kits but good to check when near by and at 50% off a great deal. Thanks

Copying decals to make extras?
Dave Van replied to PierreR89's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Peter pretty much covered it. Photo copy decals will ONLY work over pure white paint. ANY other color and it will alter the decal or make it disappear. So lots of issues. Add the original decal paper color, if it's blue or just a aged brown/tan, this will copy too. IMHO it's not worth it unless you have a really good decal, bright white paper being applied to a pure white surface. Best thing is you want GOOD copies....scan original decal, trace and make new art, send it to someone like Indycals that can print correctly. I've been a decal manufacture for 40+ years now. Thanks -
Wayne helped me out a few times....prayers sent.

Flat hood for AMT 71 Mustang?
Dave Van replied to Iraceitall's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
At one time Atomic City hobby had some of those JoHan Mustang bodies. They are a perfect fit. -
Alan Kulwicki....... My goal is to build every Cup car he drove. When I was doing some work for Revell and needed current Cup car photos Alan always permitted me in the shop to do as I needed. Great guy.

Per the powers that be, the ending of the site was not a money thing. It was even offered that we, members, pay the bill for hosting. Nope. Then the suggestion was brought up that the database be turned over to a new care taker. Someone stepped up and offered to take over the database and maintain for free. Nope. So in the end it looks like they just want us all on Facebook or nothing. I do say Thanks to those who offered to save the site, for free, but were turned dow. And so it ia model related post....a model!!!!!

While I am the proud owner of a XL tin foil hat........... This is NOT copiracy theory. Publshed in all kinds of media, Meta admitted to USING, NOT SELLING, your personal data. They figures that was OK as they were following the letter of the law. They also gave info on how to OPT OUT of the data mining IN THE FUTURE......but your info that is out there is there. This was provided to inform.....not scare!!! ALL need to be informed in this age. Thanks

Nice clean build!!!

Reported today Facebook is using your personal data to train Meta in AI......note...NOT selling your info but feeding ALL your info into a AI database. This is who you are dealing with if you use any Meta product. Meta not breaking the law.....just bending it.

1975 Jorgensen Eagle - Bobby Unser
Dave Van replied to ModelcarJR's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Maybe some of the limited Indy kits will only be at Salvinos but a few are listed as coming soon on hobby retail websites.....so who knows. And yes $80 is too much. But if they did a Indy 70's era McLaren and it was right....I'd have to have one to go with my 70's era F1 collection. Thx -

Nice work on all the builds. If Salvins wants me to pay $80 on a indy car kit.....make cars of this era!!!! -

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
That is a surprise.......as stated Revell had that tooling (Cop Out) recently. Both these kits are the same other than bodies and decals. Wonder if they will get the OK for the Hot Wheels logos??
