Looking forward to seeing the final paint.

He was refering to the trumpeter falcon not a mobieus kit.

Interesting project. Will be following.

What about using something like the heated sand eye doctors use for adjusting the ear pieces on glasses.

Awhile back somebody come up with a great idea called pay it forward. The concept was simple someone donated a kit and then somebody would claim it and then put something up for somebody to claim. Unfortunately it w a s a disaster. A few opprtunists felt the need to take advantage of the deal. They used it to take grab good kits and dumb their junk. In addition people wouldn't be timely in posting there kit up for the next person. Final straw was somebody grabbed a kit and disappeared. B Be happy we are allowed to trade and stop trying to find excuses why we should be able to sell kits. Give it a rest guys.

In my opinion if the lifetime subscription did not succeed then the magazine is dead. Second if it did succeed Gregg may be trying to get the issues ready to print. He has no other help getting that done. It has been very disappointing that we have heard no official comment here considering Gregg pitched the lifetime subs here. Would be nice to know the outcome rather than endless uniformed speculation. Also it would be nice to know the upcoming plans for the year. Only 5 months left in the year. Will there be an issue this year?

One a while back there was a comment that Gregg was selling stuff on facebook. If he really thought selling was such a good idea he would have changed the rules at that time. Besides whatever little income that will be generated will not overcome all of the problems that will be generated. Second he has come up with a way to come up with revenue to jump start the magazine with lifetime subscriptions. Now its just a matter of time to see what happens next. And if the magazine can get a consistent schedule then that will improve the chances of getting more advertisers. Its not a big selling point for an advertiser to have their ad show up on a sporatic basis.

Most likely too much is wanted for licensing which exceeds budget. Also there have been some comments that the new owners of Mobieus aren't interested in doing cars. As I said hopefully somebody that's in the know can clarify what's happening.

Don't know. Maybe their is somebody that could share some light on that.

Unfortunately the last I heard these were can cenceled because of licensing issues. Definitely would like to see them.

Today companies see advertising value in movie product placement. And the movie producers win becuase money is available to make their movie and it doesn't have to be paid back. And then there is brand licensing where a company charges for using its name by another. What a win get someone to advertise your brand and get paid for it. As I said round2 is more than happy to pay licensing to do coke memorabilia. Its obvious that it moves product and that's why they are doing so many kits.

Its too bad that you feel you cannot enjoy this wonderful site because selling isn't allowed. It's ironic that nobody wanted to avail themselves of emodelcars when Gregg created it to provide a free separate venue to sell. However it is typical how so many want to make changes to the site to suit themselves and a select few . Why does this site need to be like all the rest and lose its uniqueness. And where do you stop making changes. Somebody else may decide we absolutely need to be able to discuss politics or they can't enjoy the site. Me I like the site just the way it is and will continue to learn and enjoy the work of others.

I seriously doubt coke is paying round 2 when round 2 is happy to pay the fee to sell their kits. Round 2 is moving lots of product. Hey if it helps keep round 2 in business it is fine with me.

Acellerator is for super glue. Tamiya extra thin drys by evaporation.

Love it. Nice work. Great color.

Nope not going to happen. Gregg (the one paying for the forum) has said no. End of discussion. Plenty of other places to sell your stash.

Very nice. Great work.

Besides all of the safety concerns there is an equally big issue. It is unlikely that the jobs lost to self driving trucks will be recovered. People pay taxes and buy things. Machines do not do any of those things. If we continue eliminating jobs there will be a greater need to help people make ends meet. Definitely not progress in my mind.

I recommend you keep your stash for the future. It will cost a lot more to replace the models you sell. Enjoy your racing now with the opition to go back to modeling later.

Very nice work. Very crisp work.

Cool display. Nice to see all versions in model form.

Love it. Nice work.

Nicely done.

Sorry. I don't think its practical to issue the kit without the chrome. It would impact the sales. The average modeler doesn't necessarily know about the chrome paints and silver plastic isn't going to cut it. Besides Atlantis has done son of rad baron which has chrome so they have a way to do the chrome.

Nicely done.
