Spectacular beauty is easy to witness when you are paying attention.

Kind behavior is preferred over behavior that is snarky.

Wife has final say in any matter.

I wonder if Atlantis got the Orange Hauler molds.

Organization is important to avoid chaos.

Takes work to avoid unnecessary aggravation during these times of turmoil.

Way before computers and cell phones life was much simpler.

Consult the wise man of the village for the information you seek.

What would you do for a million dollars?

I think the point is being missed. This does not seem to be the pictures being sold I think it's a scam to make people think the diorama is for sale and they will be sorely disappointed.

Definitely build it the way you want to?

That is the perfect color.

My point was being missed. I'm not saying there won't be any buyers or questioning the price. I'm saying that there is going to be a limited number of buyers that can afford the luxury. That is just a reality. There are lots of threads bemoaning the high price of kits and supplies. Most builders have limited resources to spend on their hobby.

To me the bigger issue is the price. I really don't see that many of the facades will sell at the price regardless of how well made it is. $500 will buy a lot of modeling supplies and kits.

An additional note. Was going through some magazines and found my copies of SRP(Street Rodder Premium). Was $7.99 in 2013. It also was all new material in a quarterly magazine. That was the perfect template for the revised format of HOT Rod magazine.

Ah it's wonderful when the computer substitutes words for me.

All great points.

I think the big difference from the early days of automotive magazines were done by true enthusiasts and knew what they would want to see. Granted it was a business however today the only goal is to make money by people who consider just a job. Model cars magazine is a fine example of enthusiasts putting out a magazine with material others want to see and enjoy.

Thing is they shouldn't need to figure out how to make this work. With all the years of doing the magazines there should have been more effort put into the content for the new format. One only gets one chance at a good first impression.

Looks great. Great decision on keeping it simple.

I agree.

Saw the new HOT Rod quarterly. I was the prostrate version . Mostly old material and some new for something like $15. They're going to have to do better for that price. Sincerely doubt it's going to last very long.

Did you try contacting Alsa to see if they can help you find someone to apply it?

Mush is a dog sledding command meaning to move forward.

Great idea. Coming along nicely.
