  1. Unfortunately that would be an expensive redo considering how much has been changed in the kit. It would be cool to have all of those flat box kits reissued however I don't see that the cost to revive the 34 makes sense or any of the others for that matter. If you really want one you'd have to buy an original kit.
  2. I think that its more likely Hobby Lobby is offering the kit discount in the hope that other supplies like paint and brushs. In addition to a customer buying more onxe in the store.
  3. I got to agree that Batman and Robin was a huge disappointment and does rank as the worst film. However for me most comic book movies miss the mark becuase they off decide to make changes in origin stories that don't match what has been established in the original comic books.
  4. Glad to see you're saving this. Looks like the original builder put some thought in this. It deserves to be finished as the builder had intended. Looking forward to more.
  5. My list no particular order 1) Amt Double Dragster 2) Amt 1925 t 3 Revell 1932 Ford kits 4) Revell 1929 roadster 5) Revell 1929 pickup 6) Amt 1953 ford pickup 7) Amt 1953 studebaker 8) Revell Foose pickup 9) Revell beatnik Bandit 10) amt 1940 Ford coupe/sedan
  6. Unless the seller is misrepresenting an item asking an outrageous price is perfectly legitimate. As mentioned a sealed kit is for the collector which is a different market than the casual builder. Besides something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Finally its up the the buyer to research what the going rate is for an item and not the seller.
  7. Thanks Tim. I am also interested in what parts you used for the front and rear suspension.
  8. Tim how much did you z the frame in the rear?
  9. Its interesting that the "are we there yet crowd" hasn't commented in thus great news. My hats off to the new magazine team in achieving this milestone.
  10. Dave is there an updated list of hobby shops that will be carrying the magazine?
  11. Cool. Nicely done. Very clean One of the pleasures of modeling is to take an assortment of parts and create a cohesive model. Looking forward to seeing your future projects.
  12. I would hope that builders would not think reality shows are a model for building cars. They are meant to entertain rather than educate. Ergonomics are a important necessity. Asthetics are subjective.
  13. Thanks Dave. Great news. Congradulations and thanks to the team for their efforts. Looking forward to buying a copy.
  14. The adage make every piece of a model. Youve done that to the extreme.
  15. Go for it. Just a crazy thought but with the broken windshield post it made me think of the lil coffin's cantilever roof. Regardless it deserves to be completed. Its an interesting concept.
  16. I agree. I have certain wips I follow, look at subjects that interest me. I comment on some of the things I look at but its not practical to view and comment on everything. Using the recent activity feature helps me filter what I want to look at.
  17. Two stunning models. Well done.
  18. Great model. Love the revell 32 fords. Great kitbash fodder.
  19. If you have a subscription and don't want to wait then request a refund. You are owed no further answers at this point. No one is requesting more money from you. I myself will wait and see what happens.
  20. Missed this project the first time around. Lots of nice fabrication work. Definitely will be following.
  21. Cool project. Looks like a fun challenge. Creativity at its best.
  22. The information here is from those directly involved with the magazine. Resurecting the magazine is a monumental task and spreading unsubstantiated rumors does not help the situation. We will hear news when it is available.
  23. Well as the old adage goes just becuase you saw it on the internet doesn't make it true. Especially social media. I'm highly skepitical given the fact that so many are clamoring for news that this news hasn't been posted here or facebook.
