Cool concept! Ready for Baja.

There are so many ways to look at this subject. But ultimately for me it's who am I to tell someone they are having fun wrong? I'm not going to tell Mr Obsessive he shouldn't spend all that time perfecting his models any more than I'm going to tell a builder who's having a great time banging together models that he should stop that and build models the "right" way. In a club I belonged to we had a builder that produced what we might call rough models. But by golly he was having a lot of fun; more fun than those of us who obsessed about mold seams and panel lines and polished paint etc. If he's having tons of fun with his models and I'm shoving mine back in the box cuz I'm not happy with them or constantly purple ponding them, who's enjoying the hobby more? Am I going to tell him he's wrong? That he's having fun wrong? It reminds me of a Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon complains his new friends are having fun wrong. If I praise someone here perhaps they will be encouraged to stay and maybe they will pick up the positive tips that are being passed on to others. I don't know, like I said many ways to look at the subject.

They have them now but I couldn't get them there when they first came out. I had to get mine while down at Toledo NNL. Sometime after that I finally found one on the shelves at Wheels and Wings.

Good luck, Chris. I had to get my 29s out of the States last year as no one up here seemed to get them. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the 30's.

Chris, I don't know if it's just one person or not but that seems to be the response. After all I even offered to pay the shipping of a new body up here to Canada and I still got the same response. Build it and if it's still warped then we'll consider your offer to pay for shipping. I've eagerly purchased most Moebius kits and multiples of some but I will be reconsidering from now on.

Now that's different! Well done.

Beautiful build! The hobby design wheels really set it off.

Wow! Very nice conversion to an 11 window Samba. Job well done.

Very cool, contemporary VW Samba. Very nice!

Very cool. Beautiful weathering job. Kudos!

Indeed! I should have mentioned that in my original posting. You will not be disappointed with a purchase from Kris at MAD.

Morgan Automotive Detail offers a 71 to 71 Pinto wagon kit.

My Belvedere is very warped as well. It was really jammed in the box. I wrote to them and even offered to pay the postage. The response I got was, build the model. When you put it all together it should straighten the body out. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll take you up on your offer to pay the postage. That's the jist of it anyway. Like i'm going to go to all the work of prepping, priming, painting a body then assembling it all just to find out - nope it's not going to straighten out.

Hoping to do it as a bucket list item. Hmmmm..... Drive to Jersey, do NNL East then drive across country to GSL? Wild & Crazy!

The one I added to the list was a 31 Model A pickup. While I would love a stock one, a hot rod kit off the new 29/31 kit would be great too.

I have to agree with Tom, RMR (Race Motor Replicas) with Steve Zimmerman selling those fantastic wheels.

Yep, picked up a Vette wide body kit from C1 at NNL East. Looks very nice. Also picked up metalizer powder and VW Caddy kit. Great people to deal with!

Yeah, Brother! I'm looking forward to what the guys in DRAG are bringing to the show. Wait! Something about that doesn't sound right..... See you in Jersey, Kris.

Beautiful Hudson! Kudos!

I'll be there. On Friday, two hour drive to Toronto. Pick a couple of suspects up. Drive 2 more hours to Kingston. Pick another suspect up and another 7 or so hours and we'll be at the Ramada. I can't wait! Look forward to seeing everyone in Jersey.

So much easier than modelling? I could spend years with a pencil and still not draw anything more than deformed stick men. At least when I build a model it comes looking something like a car. You,sir, have talent. Kudos!

Very nice mild custom 40 Ford. Really like the colour combo. Kudos!

Stunning! Absolutely stunning! Kudos!

Happy Easter Stephen and everyone here! Hope it is a quiet joyful Easter for everyone.
