  1. Very nice....a movie car that never crossed my mind!
  2. Another favorite F1 car. Back when you cold tell one from another. Good start.
  3. Like the Coca-Cola license.........you spread the cost across as many products as possible.
  4. I've been called a member of the 'Fringe' by some of the best!
  5. 95% of the model builders in the world will never see all the errors brought up here.........This IS the lunatic fringe.
  6. Boarder line illegal today.......Palmer would be sued by some one today!
  7. Not Greg but some online retailers are saying the same thing in their pre sell listings. If not true some folks may be mad.
  8. Is 'sold out' a temp thing or gone forever??? He is the manufacture so.....
  9. If the kit includes all those packs....it will be a deal plus!!!! That is close to enough parts for two cars......throw in some parts box stuff!!!
  10. A online retailer is showing 8/31 ship date for the Moon Eyes kit. It also stated that the 'Chrysler' engine is also included along with other optional parts. MSRP of $27 but $25 is the average street price I have seen. Time will tell!!!!
  11. I have two of those put back....you give me hope I can make something from them. Well done.
  12. They don't own the MOON trademark from what I understand. A Japanese business man bought it years ago. The shop/store is right up the street from my SoCal buddy.
  13. No...the TEEVEE Dune Buggy kit.
  14. Did the TOWD get turned into the T Buggy??? I'd think that R2 would have repopped TOWD if it was still intact.
  15. Per Salvinos the last Gen Revell kits are in China.....not included in the Atlantis deal.....and if you know about China the tooling is not leaving there soon.....and is tied up with Revell(of Germany)
  16. Having worked on a number of projects for most of the major plastic kit manufactures........box art can become a big expense that 99% of buyers do not care about. I did the box art for my kits I produced year ago and worked on a few kits in recent years. The guys that do box art well AND understand the subject matter are few. And like everything the cost of having someone that is competent is way up. I think Atlantis is going a decent job considering it is a handful of folks working hard to make kits for a micro market. My attempt and fail at box art
  17. Why is Dave Kindig on both box art???
  18. +++During one of the video updates Salvinos said they will be doing the car. And they said it will be ready late AUG 2021. I kinda feel it will be a miracle if they go from nothing to full kit in this amount of time....but best of luck to them!!!
  19. I offer FREE long term storage for all race car kits!!! I'm just that kinda guy!!!!?
  20. The Revell ASA short track kits bring good money...he had more of them than common NASCAR Cup kits.
  21. Little update on my 1975 Mustang II barn find......... Dr released me so I am out of my wheelchair. Put the Mustang up on the rack, pulled the oil sensor, temporary installed a manual oil gauge. Cranked her up....60 psi at idle. New oil sensor and put her back together. My 'PRO' should have done that. Fixing the carb that they fixed took another hour and she's all good. On to cosmetic issues! Point is....a shop that had a good reputation should strive to keep it. But I think today if you are just OK.....you out shine the idiots. So why over do it???
  22. Saw that the kit was back on main page......good news
  23. You made it look good!!!! I like movie cara. Do remember the tooling is over 50 years old!!!!
  24. I almost thought they have cleaned out my stash!!!! I see lots I'd like....none of what I need!!
  25. Who is copying who??? Picked this up last night.....pretty cool.....better wheels !!!!
