  1. Steve Goldman, I am thinking a little forward here.(2 to 5 years ahead). Could the telephone booth for TTT be made to download in 3-d, as a file to purchase in the future? Round 2 is leaving money on the table. I know you have a full plate to carry now (That is good news!). But if you offered a file to purchase and download it for customers, the cost of an injection mold goes away, and the customers who Pass on the cardboard version will purchase the file. ( if they want a plastic / resin 3-d version) It must be affordable to the consumer to do this and also have Round 2 Make money on it too!

  2. Calb56( Charles) the forum is only as good as the members here! Remember birds of the feather flock together.  Lots of good members here! Model building is about relaxation, camaraderie, friendships, and most importantly FUN!! If it isn't fun, it is not worth doing it!

  3. Welcome Erich, if you ever have a free 3rd Friday of the month, Drive into Dearborn, Michigan. We meet at the Dearborn Ice Skating Rink on Ford Road from 6pm to 8pm. We have built models on display, model car swaps at every table and a general model meeting among members. This is your free invite! Look up Downriver Model Car Club on Facebook. It's a 2-hr. drive from Marshall but it will be worth it. We have about 75 members. See you soon!

  4. eran_k,  If you are model hunting in the USA, check out the antique malls in your area you are staying, Also, local Estate sales, automotive swap meets, flea markets and church sales. Contact local model clubs in your visiting area and find out when they meet, time, date, location, etc. Most guys will bring their extra stuff from their stashes to peddle for cash. Ask the hobby shops if they know of any collectors selling their collections. Keep the faith, you will find something I'm sure of it! When you have no leads, go freestyle like on "American Pickers". Ask the local people about the areas you are going into for your safety. They also know the good cheap places to eat! Good luck in your hunt!

  5. Mikemich,  think of it this way, the parts are worth more than the sum of the whole car. I am not saying to separate the parts on the promos. But if I needed the front and rear bumpers, glass and steering wheel for a model it probably be cheaper for me to buy a parts car or warped promo with all of the parts I need than buying them separate. If it does not sell as a whole warped promo on e-pay. then separate the parts off it and sell them that way. Always have a backup plan. Good luck!
