I've been lucky enough to help out in the kit development area for going on 30 years on and off. I thought, years ago, that I could make better choices than kit companies. But after years of seeing the time (ie money), skill and RISK in the model kit biz I understand better today. And while I still have kit ideas in the back of my mind I want to see become real kits....I understand why they will not. Let's put it this way......want to show you know better than the kit companies?? Put your money up. I know when I suggested an 'off the wall' idea and it was accepted IF I invested my own cash......things change.

decent prices but shipping kills it......cool stuff

You are correct in that Surfite towers over other Roth creations...... It does so because you sit up in it like you would in a dining table chair. And if you find photos of Roth in the car.....LOTS of head room yet!! The more traditional Roth showrods were cramped and you almost laid down in them to get bubble tops to close!! I myself have never measured the Revell Surfite but a buddy of mine that is informed on Roth and the models (knew him personally) says it's 1/25. Take it for what it is worth. There is a story about how when Revell tooled it they feared it was to SMALL....thus they added the hut to fill the box more.

They don't 'stock' kits at the store.....inventory sitting in a back room cost money. If you notice kits come in big returnable containers from a central warehouse. One thing I have noticed at HL visits is I am not alone on the model kit isle any longer.......empty shelves may be GOOD news.....

Was able to attend last time in Columbus......wanted to this time.....but family matters got in the way....

This started as the Revell Tony Nancy kit......... I like them all....I find something good in all of them. The Nancy kit not near as hard to build today as it was when I was 7 years old!!!

I have so many ideas for the kit that are NOT S&H I may order a case.......

Someone is gathering your info via all the browsers (mainstream any way) with all about equal. During my IT days I kept up with all of them.....and why I went with FF.....but retired 10 years......a bit out of touch.

A Hot Rod version of the kit........TV car......

Lets all hope for another Camaro kit!!!!!! NOT I vote we finish off the pony car line up.....

Firefox user from day one...... But it did start having issues about 4 months ago. Per the net.....it is not being supported like it once was. Got Chrome and issues went away. Chrome looks at what you do more than FF but it was not working for me.

There was a kit in 1/48 O scale too.......but not 1/25. Not a real difficult project to scratch build.....

If they do I promise full access to a 1/1.......... Let Moebius know what you want!!!

Cool spin!! Same story I heard Tom G.........I recall how it was such a high dollar kit before the reissue. First one I ever saw was at Toledo. Never saw it first issue.....and I lived in So Cal!!

Nice clean build.......and a AMC to boot!!!!

I like that kit and yours is looking good...... Kit has just enough detail for a casual build. Mine in Tamiya green......

Any Tamiyas 1/12 kit........I like the Wolf and other 70's era cars myself......Tyrell a bit more challenging (6 wheeler)

As I am a 'Adult Fan of Lego' and model building....COOL!! Just a kit build...but I like crash trucks

Cool...but never seen that one!!! I recall a robot similar in Warner Bros cartoons that just had a light bulb for a head!!

Always loved that odd kit.......will be watching....

This???? It's the old IMC Testors kits with new decals and box art.

I might add to Charlies good suggestions a gold under coat. I like the spoon test too......works for me.

Vintage trucks hold much more appeal to me than any other era. I know this is not a true correct factory stock build....but I like it. So anything kit wise in that era would be great....even just parts.....wheels, tires etc.

MORE DELAYS in the S&H Torino???? Really???? It was set for a Oct 2014 release now Oct 2015 but it is pushed back further??? With HUNDREDS of the real cars available all over the country I don't understand the problem. A real car, say an rare exotic hand built car, I can see issues in doing a kit.......a common American sedan......odd.......

You gotta remember The owner of Moebius has a personal connection to Hudsons, they won a lot of races and have a more positive history than many cars of the era. . Good subject matter. Can't say whats next.......only a few at the top of Moebius could....... But I do know if we keep buying.....they keep making!!!
