Well I see two possibilities. Either fraud from from inside the bank you transferred the balances to or the bank from. Or hackers got into the banks system. If they do that to 100,000 accounts somebody ended up with 1.1 million. I find it interesting that you never got billed for those charges.

1961 Mercedes Benz 190SL - Revell with a few modifications
bobthehobbyguy replied to 89AKurt's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Really enjoying this project. Great concept. -
I agree. If the company says it ships in 2 days they need to communicate if there is an issue , the customer should not have to chase down what's happening. Second don't charge the customer till product is going out the door. The clock for the time period for one to pay without charges when that charge occurs. The product has been sitting in limbo for a week now. Unfortunately this is the norm for how businesses are being run these days.

As said there isn't a large enough staff to cross check everything in the magazine. Besides most of the staff have full time jobs besides helping with the magazine. You've been pointing out errors for the last couple of issues. How about offering some time to help with the proof reading for accuracy.

I I agree. Have they billed your card already? I would call the company today. If they can not provide a tracking number today then I will investigate canceling the order. If they say 2 days then they need to contact you if they have a problem you shouldn't have to call them. I would also request a small discount on the product for this inconvenience. Finally if you do have to cancel I would post negative feedback for the company for poor communication and poor customer service.

Don't think that you over detailed this project. Its the level of detail and the quality of work that makes this model so stunning. As to doing some things differently that's not a surprise. Sometimes when do do something we realize that there is a better way to do it. Looking forward to the next epic journey you take us on.

Not a surprise. It's what happens when you put someone in to run the operation that doesn't understand the needs of the operation.

Returning Sprues
bobthehobbyguy replied to Jim B's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Can't believe that it would be practical. As said the return cost of shipping would be impractical for both the customer and the manufacturer. It would be more practical for the manufacturer to reduce the amount of sprue when a kit is manufactured and I'm not sure that the added labor cost would be worth the value of the plastic saved. Best solution is for the consumer to throw the plastic into their recycle bin, -
1964 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible.
bobthehobbyguy replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Impressive work on the interior. With a convertible there is no margin for error. Everything is in the open to be seen. Been enjoying the step by step on the interior work. -
Great start. Cool project.

64 Dodge D100 Pickup Pro Street
bobthehobbyguy replied to AmericanMuscleFan's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Was at a friends over the weekend and enjoyed a couple of days of no internet or phone service. Get on line for the latest update. Seen the latest update. Have to say I'm disappointed. I was 3xpecting to see the pictures of the finished model. Instead its the pictures of the real truck. Looking forward to pictures of the model. All kidding aside. A stunning model. Great photography. The truck is truly a stunning masterpiece. -
That is a great color. Will suit the car well.

Which means a $1 cost increase will show as a $4 increase in msrp. And given the current situation that seems to be the issue.

Nicely done. Definitely a cartoons car. One has to chuckle at some of the fads for cars and trucks. -
Shaping up nicely. Great concept. Rob take care of yourself and have a speedy recovery.

So sad. My condolences and prayers to his family and friends. He left this world far to early. We need to cherish everyday you never know when your time is up.

I think this may be the best course of action. The right side looks ok. The left side seems almost a little wider than the cowl.

Good points. On the point of having to win a trophy. A club I belong was doing an annual contest. Problem was getting enough judges and the cost of trophies. I'd have experience when I lived in Santa Clara with the NNL west. Was flatly told that it wouldn't work because there were many that wouldn't come because there were no trophies. Also when all of the aftermarket parts became available there were some grumbled that they couldn't afford big bucks on parts. That's why the bos stock classes were created for many contests. Contest promoters need to adapt to create classes to enough builder to participate.
