  1. If you like Ed.....find and watch his episodes on Sara Silverman show. He played a NAZI and something like that will never happen on a comedy show ever again. RIP ED
  2. N & HO scales have some many cool structures and vehicles.! It's to small for my big hands but you did great!
  3. Magazines are permitted to be held at EACH stop for 3-6 days. Multiply that by how many PO and sorting stops and it can be a while.
  4. AMT '89 Batman' kit VS Jada die cast....both 1/25??? Jada the smaller. Moebius Batmobile built from test shot for Moebius.
  5. WOW....I love the movie. You did really well. Any chance you'd sell a copy??
  6. That popped up in my feed........R2 said 'new kit dump'......I'll be watching.
  7. Well done! I like those kits. Wish they had continued the series......
  8. I like Pink & Andy Griffith.....so
  9. Thanks for showing the grille gap fix. I never figured that out. Who is going to build the limo version from Lemony Snickets movie????
  10. While working for Revell I asked about these kits. 'No tire mold' was the answer AND they were not sure which versions they did or did not still have. But they were in ILL at one time. So let Pete know......maybe he will look into it.
  11. Well Done!! I started the art work for 'Laughing Clown'.....need to finish them.
  12. A great mild retool would be to remove the T tops. The only Chevy I ever bought was a brand new 1982 Z28 with T tops.....fun to own....hate them on models!
  13. Never like the David Rat 32 anyway....good to see a retool
  14. It could be a highly modified Patent Pending cab.....but I really doubt it. The mods would be as much as new tooling. Atlantis said there is NEW tooling coming. I think these guys are SERIOUS about model kits. I thought at first they'd do what they have been doing...running old tools. But I THANK Peter and Co for stepping up. It ain't easy, you'll not get rich....but boy is it fun!
  15. I wasn't saying the China issue had anything to do with Hobbico issues. You're right. I was just trying to shine a light on why it would be hard for Atlantis to buy and get the Tom Daniels tooling that is in China and Revell is not really able to use.....right now. BTW I have worked with people in China on hobby products and the PEOPLE are great and many very talented. It's the government that is the issue. Thanks
  16. Not knowing what happened between TD and Revell I'll not agree 100%. That said time tends to heal many wounds and Tom's son is handling much of the day to day stuff......some day licensing may come around again. I've had IP stolen and it does make you mad. PS: If you really want to know how China works.....book - The 100 year marathon.
  17. Tooling CUT in China is part owned by the China Govmt. Tooling cut outside but run in China is still owned 100% by the company.....and in theory can be moved out of China. BUT if you request to move it and Chinia does not want to.....it MAY arrive at it's new destination 'damaged'. This happened to a model railroad manufacture. In other words it's a mess. Revell can not run any TD stuff that is in China and selling it will be costly and filled with risk. I'd figure we will never see Rommel's, Circus Wagon, Paddy, and TJ Taxi again. IMHO only!!
  18. THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!! (reminds me of the old RCHTA days!!) I'll get a couple of FnF Lightning F-150's
  19. TD Paddy Wagon is still at Revell. It was last run in China and was not in the lot in ILL. Now with Revell and TD split on unfriendly terms....maybe Atlantis will end up with it at some point.
  20. I can see it's different now...... The C Cab is not the TD Paddy Wagon or a variant of it.......it LOOKS more like the MPC Fire truck kit
  21. So a new C Cab??? Cool!!!
  22. The blue car with track nose looks like the Revell 29 Ford part....I used it on this build. Atlantis said they'd tool new parts???
  23. Well done! I like that kit....built both versions with Indycal decals.
