Very nicely done.

Nicely done. Very cool.

Beautiful work. Nicely done.

There's lots of great info tucked away in the older threads. I enjoy browsing older threads. And if one has additional info on a subject its nice to have it all in one place rather than scattered in multiple threads.

First it would be more informative to point out what is considered poorly done in the kit rather than a statement that its a lousy kit. Second its easy these days to get what's in the box reviews on the internet. And finally if you ask there are lots of builders on the board that can tell you about any kit. More so for an older kit such as this.

Impressive. A stunning model. Very nice.

Cool rods. Glad to see the pictures are available.

A fine example of Steve Hinson's modeling skills. Steve was a friend of mine. Unfortunately he recently lost his battle with cancer. RIP Steve

Here is some of Steve Hinson work. There is a link to his fotki page. http://public.fotki.com/ModelCarGuy2003/

Saw the notice on Hamb by Steve Coonen. Sounds like things are not going well financially for them. Hope they can turn things around. Would hate to on lose Rodder's Journal. Not that many good car magazines left.

My Barnes and Noble stopped carrying it couple years ago. The last issue I did get seemed to have more ads. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever.

this will pass

Milk and cookies

Nicely done. Great concept and build quality.

Another amusing ad is for body armor. Good for those whovhave issues with xactos and other sharp objects.

Oops wrong topic.

First off I see no value in bashing FSM , their forum or their staff. Second connection issues they are having to work with the 9rovider of the web site software to get the access problem. There's been times Dave has had to get help with a problem. Number of pages issue. Advertisers are what make a magazine work. With the Internet advertiser's have more options for advertising. In addition paper costs have gone up. The number of pages of a magazine are based on the number of advertisers. These factors have determined the number of pages for content in FSM. To maximize the content they have had to move the bulk of the reviews to online,. They are working to adapt to the changes caused by the internet. No matter how much you complain its not going to change the situation. We just have to deal with it,

One how about keeping this thread about what the fsm automotive content. Create another thread to complain about sa going away and the online access complaint separate from this thread. I think fsm was kept because it had a larger readership. Second they are having to adapt to changing trends. Finally no matter what you want to believe print magazines are going away, The old print model for magazines is not viable. Things are changing and we aren't going to stop it.

Interesting car. Shame its a one off. I saw some interesting cars in my search to find it. It took a while but I finally did. Thanks for the interesting quizzes they are enjoyable.

Killer paint. First paint was nice but the second is stunning. One question how are you going to get the wheels to fit the tires better there is quite a gap between the tire and rim,

Cool project. Very nice work. Going to be really nice when finished.

What I think is interesting is that I yad the issue on my iphone and I block popups so I wonder how they didn't get blocked.

Ah the joys of spell check and when it chooses your words for you. And to think people want to let computers drive their cars.

I agree with the advice of not selling or giving away your stuff. Second box up the troublesome kit My suggestion would be to asking in modeling questions if others have had similar problems with that kit and how they dealt with the problems. Finally you just have to step away and take a deep breathe. You will come back when you're ready.

A comment on the cell phone generation. Scientific studies have shown that cell phones alter how we thing. When you compound that with parents who give toddlers cell phones to keep them occupied its no surprise that they're going to be constantly fiddling with their phones.
