Moebius ModelsLike Page 17 mins · Seems like it's been forever since I've posted on here. About a month is appears. I just want to let everyone know that sometime over the weekend there will be a press release at www.moebiusmodels.com detailing the sale of the company. I am hoping everyone doesn't jump to conclusions and think that there's a problem, or that bad things will happen like you may be used to. Things will go on as scheduled. Nothing is being cancelled. All licensing is in the process of being transferred. Bob and Dave are still here. I (Frank) am still here for the time being. I can honestly say that in some areas, there will be more than I would have done. I am honestly physically and emotionally burned out by it all. It's been a long 12 years, and my time is over. With family issues, and my own health issues that need work, I cannot commit to this full time anymore. As some of you know, the last few years have seen me go from tendon surgery, to foot surgery, to constant rehab on my shoulder trying to avoid surgery. It's time. Torn rotator cuff, herniated bicep, I just have to stop and get back to some sort of health. The company is left in good hands, Tom and Larry from Pegasus are taking over the majority share. I'll have a fraction, no big deal. But as most all of you know they've been in this industry for a long time. They know what they're doing, and I'll be here to make sure it all goes smooth. Moebius will not be part of Pegasus, it will stand alone as it has. Not sure what else to say besides look for announcements soon on new product. In this transition time, I hope that you will let us work on new projects instead of having to answer meaningless questions. No real changes as I said earlier! The office will not be taking or returning calls on this subject, nor will they respond to emails. Bob and Dave are staying, but they have no details either. There really are no details as nothing changes other than the address. No further news is available! I have blocked comments here, not sure if it works. If it does let you comment there can be no answers, and anything nasty will of course be taken down and blocked. Hope to see some of you at an upcoming show, I'm not disappearing! Yet...

Pretty nice

This. Side note, till this very moment in time, I didnt know that was something called a Crosley.

Its why I rarely deal with bidding anymore, and they are not always "amateurs" driving up the bid...............

I am going to guess that keeping all that data is great for the times when something goes wrong, I would think it might make it a bit easier to figure out what was the problem a lot faster.

I try to limit it to 3 at a time

The forum is now back up Yes, you can use them, and there should be very little fit issues.

This is very fascinating, the methodical approach you take to painting.

I agree with this 100%, Ive learned that too in the short time ive been using them, like example, you can not use the Clean Strip( I use it to) on plastic from Japan , it will craze it, you need to use Mr Hobby or Tamiya Lacquer thinner. I would 100% switch to Mr Hobby's thinner if the cost ratio was better, its a great thinner .

Yes, that is the plan, every spray colour in a bottle.

Of course not, I was not out right rejecting, I do know it sounded like that

Right, its just basically window graphics.

You would think, that would be common sense, but, that is what would get for thinking

Funny thing, the actual Camaro side window is the still the SS shape, the Camaro window is the SS shape just with Camaro shape integrated into it. In Theory, you could just mask the side window in the Camaro shape and paint the rest of the SS window pice body color and it would be accurate.

Happy to hear things got worked out.

Just a passing thought here, a dedicated hobby product review/news section is sort of lacking in my opinion, there are a ton of great hobby products out there, and there is really no place to talk about them that isnt all over the forum. And by products I mean not model kit related. Carry on and YMMV

Was thinking the same thing G, awesome thinners. little secret, they work wonders with Testors enamels too.

Well yes, all Tamiya chemical based products have to go through the approval process for the USA, I was simply mentioning none are showing up yet , I thinks its gonna be one of those things that they just show up one day. Its pretty clear that the Pink Primer could not get past that process, I wonder if Tamiya is going to make the changes , its a great addition and makes doing red paint jobs so much easier. Its not really that interesting to be honest, that is how Japan works, there are restrictions on paints and glues being exported out of Japan, I dont know the exact law, but that is why no Japan hobby retailers that ship to the USA sell us paint products, I think paint markers might be an expectation( correct me if I wrong). Heck, I had to fill out extra forms the one time I bought some Gundam Panel Line markers that got shipped Via Fedex. Spain is sort of the same, but it is restricted to spray cans, they cant be shipped out of the EU, according to Spot Model's shipping info. Taiwan and China both love to sell us paint products, and great places to get Mr Hobby products from at rock bottom prices.

Very interesting, Marc is a great guy , here is the phone number to contact them. (623) 695-7479

From a Google search to see if any US seller had them, here is a chart showing the first two waves

There is also Scalefinishes that does automotive color matched paints. I am not seeing any USA sellers with them yet, I just bought a couple of bottles from Asia, should have them in a couple of months

There is this one http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77_110&products_id=329

I dont think you ever could, it was supposed be sold here, as many sellers had a listing for it, but I dont think they ever got it in stock. Ive been importing it from China for the last couple of years.

Both can be found, but both have price tags to go with them The cheapest El Camino kit Highway is talking about is $32BIN or $19 opening bid plus shipping THe cheapest Buick Grand Nat kit is $22 plus shipping Are the only Buick V6 options in 1/24th scale?, I need a Buick V6 for the 83-85 Cutlass, but that is 1/25th.
