Chuck Kourouklis Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 ...Stop the negative noise folks. I believe we are talking about Revell here and they've done some amazing things recently...That's right, everyone. Feel free to hector and dictate to your fellow forum members of course - but WATCH WHAT YOU SAY about poor widdle Revell.Which I guess we're to treat as some sort of corporate snowflake…that by some miracle hasn't, y'know, melted in the past 70+ years of operation.

Luc Janssens Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Guy's we're talking toys here....not real life problems, cuz we got plenty of those.. Thanks Edited November 10, 2017 by Luc Janssens
Mike999 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I'm hoping for the '56 Ersatz Belchfire Coupe. Long overdue What?!? No love for the '58 Fireblast?
martinfan5 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 If it is Revell, there is only one thing right now that I want it to be, but it wont really count as "new" tooling outside of body and some engine bits, so I guess I its not gonna be that....................ya know, now I dont care
Zoom Zoom Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I'll guess a new kit of the 2018 ford Bronco from Revell.That would interest me more than the majority of the conjectures that I've seen so far. But with caveats...we still don't know what the Bronco is going to look like yet so '18 might be premature, and Revell's current "make every modern subject a Build 'n Play" kills the buzz.I can almost bet it won't be a Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, Lamborghini 350GT, Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, or a current full detail Mustang GT/GT350/GT350R
Bob Turner2 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Guy's we're talking toys here....not real life problems, cuz we got plenty of those.. Thanks Last I knew toys were something one played with. In all my adult years of building models, I have yet to push one across the floor making "vroom, vroom" noises. Perhaps others here may do so. I certainly can't speak for them, nor would I ever want to. Personally, I build scale replicas when I build models, I don't play with toys. Your mileage may vary of course.
Bucky Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 No chance it could be MENG, or Trumpeter, or Tamiya, etc..........?LOL
Zoom Zoom Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 No chance it could be MENG, or Trumpeter, or Tamiya, etc..........?LOLDon't forget Palmer!

Bob Turner2 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Bob, just trying to defuze, no more no less.Perhaps, but calling the work of some of the builders on here mere "toys" is something I'd find highly insulting myself.

Bob Turner2 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Don't forget Palmer! Palmer!?! Didn't they merge with Trumpeter or something? Seems both companies had the same idea when it came to accuracy!
Luc Janssens Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Perhaps, but calling the work of some of the builders on here mere "toys" is something I'd find highly insulting myself.A model kit is in the toy isle, what the builder does with it is a whole other story, it can be a crappy build or a master piece.So IMHO I don't view your work as a toy just the raw material you start with...
Bob Turner2 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I sometimes do go vroom vroom , shhh, dont tell only one ok? It's ok, I often like to pretend I'm a famous if obscure fictional race car driver myself..........

Oddly, where I purchase the majority of my kits at, (when not buying them online), doesn't have "toy aisles", but since it's a full service hobby shop, perhaps that's why. I haven't bought a kit in a toy aisle since the 70s I'd imagine.

Rob Hall Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Don't forget Palmer!Imagine what Round 2 could do with the Palmer molds...retro box art, as their 'budget' line of kits retailing for $19.99/ea maybe...

I haven't bought a kit in a toy aisle since the 70s I'd imagine.The toys and hobbies section of ebay....anyway the perception of non modelers is, that what we start with, are toys.We model builders who participate on fora, like this one, take it a bit more seriously and it seems you, even a lot more then I do, but that's fine.

Zoom Zoom Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 This or a 1996 Toyota Camry. Please! It can be molded in beige and if it drops on the floor it likely won't break. But it blends into the scenery so well you might have hard time finding it
Chuck Kourouklis Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 As in what the frick is wrong with you?????Tom, Tom. Do you seriously not expect some kind of push-back after commanding everyone to dial down the "negative noise"?
martinfan5 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Toyota Camry NASCAR race car, maybe? Its like you know me
