Welcome, to the car side of the moon!

Art is indeed a cool guy, and a great source for detail parts, Scale-motorsport decals and more. He gets out to a lot of shows on the West coast, if you ever get a chance, be sure to say hello to him.

While it is certainly not my cup of tea, I am not sure their desire to build/have that car is of any less value/ambition than that of our desire to build scale models of (fill in the blank). As for it's looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ? My dad used to say that it's a good thing we all did not like the same things, as that would make for a very bland world.

Night and day, good luck and enjoy your new day.

It looks like the chassis/base of the Kissmobile is similar to the Weinermobile, so it would not surprise me if they were made by the same company. About a year and a half ago, there was one of the older ones, maybe late 70s/early 80s, sitting in a parking lot near my office. I did have to stop and snap a few pics.

This forum is indeed a great place to connect with like minded individuals, learn/hone skills, pick up new ideas and more. For a rather solitudenal hobby, most model builders I know are pretty social and engaging.

cool project, I always enjoy a well done show rod

Oh, as for the boxes, I often end up using the bottom box to sort sub assemblies or use them for WIPs, or if I buy a bagged kit, or kit in old flimsy box etc. I will sometimes keep older boxes as they are, in case someone else wants them, otherwise, most common boxes etc get pitched.

I did not used to, but have been saving them from the last 7 years or so when I started seeing them online and thought that in the vent someone could use them, I would pass them along, or scan them. Prior to that, I would only save sections(Such as motors as previously mentioned) or if there were particularly interesting. Now, I just flod them back up, and store them alphabetically in those cardboard magazine shelf organizers.

A really productive year with nice results!

A good year indeed, and having seen several of these in person, they are cool models.

Nice year

Sorry for your loss Vince, my condolences.

I doubt it was personal. I emailed him once with a question, and never heard back.

looks like you had a good year
