I'm going th throw my hat into the ring. I would like to do a Johan.1971 maverick. Will be digging out the kit and other parts in the next day or so and do some pictures.

First off it's a hobby and everyone has the right to enjoy it in their own way. Where is it written that you have to constantly improve or do it in a specific way. Second I remember from the early days of Model Car Science and Car Model t here was no talk about worrying about production flaws such as ejection pins and parting lines. There were no real kit reviews. Also the only way you knew something about a kit was to buy. The what's in the box and build reviews are a valuable service and I'm happy that Hpiguy and others do. Personally I do not feel presumptuous enough to criticize how others build.

Those are some great models.

Well said. One can choose to see the positive and negative in things.

Well Hpiguy must be doing something right with over 100k followers. And the ultimate irony is to the average person his models are going to get the same amount of attention that the multi-year project because the average viewer isn't going to discern the difference.

I don't see that youtube is a negative. I think it's more a reflection of how most people build. Youtube provides the means for people to share the hobby with others.. There will always be a broad spectrum of build styles.

It's a hobby and everyone enjoys it in their own way. From varied building genres to varoious building styles. Some may build one model every several years, some every few weeks or less. Some may never complete a project becuase they 9nly enjoy mocking up an idea or enjoy one aspect of the build process. If the way you enjoy your hobby makes you happy that is what is important.

Well said.

Nice variety.

Nice work. Some great hotrods.

Nice work. Love the limefire.

Impressive work.

Nicely done.

Excuses are like belly buttons everyone has one. Failure to communicate always makes things more difficult than they need to be.

I think it happens to all of us at some point in time. It's a hobby and not something you have to finish by a deadline. You will get your inspiration back.

It all boils down to this. Any new kit produced has to recover the development costs and also provide a ROI on investment. If those conditions are meet then there's a good chance of seeing the kit.

Amazing work on the front suspension.

Although you could probably be compensated for the inconvenience I don't see that it would be worth your while. You.may get a judgement but may not be able to collect. And in addition you may have attorney costs that you would probably not get compensated for.

Good intentions are seldom enough for success. Having a solid plan of action and implementing it will lead to success.

Gift hotses should never be looked in the mouth.

Here is a great article.

Now is the time to set a new goal and take the first step to acheiv8ng that goal.

Pride comes before the fall.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.

Stupidity has no bounds. Einstein said the are only two thins that are infinite stupidity and the universe and stupidity a ND he wasn't sure about the universe.
