Coming attractions! 1965 Dodge AWB car from Moebius and Model King

[Luc Janssens]

Pure speculation, but who knows....maybe the production slot for this kit is now taken by producing replacement parts for the racing wedge. 

Anyway, all kidding aside...I'm sure Dave Metzner will post if it goes into production and who knows maybe Tim Boyd will get an advanced copy to build. So patience grasshopper

 

[Dave Van]

Got to talk to Model King/Dave yesterday. Talked about what is coming from MK/Moebius and while things move slow in todays hobby world (entire world) things are still rolling. The best thing to do is support MK/Moebius. LOTS of GREAT kits in the early stages that will be very popular. But biggest thing is the wait.............

Luc, not 100% sure but more than likely that in the future I will not be involved in doing kit previews like we did with the Nova Gasser.  I've concluded that doing so has the potential to create too much controversy for a hobby and a on forum site that are supposed to be about fun instead.  Best...TB

Sadly agree @tim boyd (aka Lightning Rod). No good deed goes unpunished.

A pitty if the powers at Moebius think so too, cuz every new model kit they do goes up a notch in the learning curve, from development to production, accept criticism if it adds value in the process of making the next release better, discard blunt unfounded remarks, which sadly always be a part of whatever is discussed or showed, IMHO you can not ever and I mean ever let the bullies win, stand proud with what you created or are presenting!

I once had a conversation with a Moebius rep. on the matter of replicating "correct" to scale bodies, and I'm sure with an ambassador to the hobby like yourself, you will help Moebius to outgrow these, growing pains. 

So Tim...you know what to do!

added some, deleted some...

Tim does know what to do.
 

Various boards do not know how to be reasonable and constructive. Various contributors aren’t “shills, etc.” fer crissakes.

So rather than pearls before swine, they can wait, recuse and complain later.

Our loss. ???‍♂️

Due to the bad behavior of a few I have to agree that it's doubtful we will get such reviews again.  It's typical how a few can spoil it for everyone.

Certainly I'm not alone in stating/thinking this: your build-reviews are the BEST. I would hope that you could post a link to your Fotoki [sp] page, and have the admins here turn-off comments here. 

I attempt to adhere to the say something constructive or nice, or keep it to yourself credo. Should I fail that I would hope that someone would mention my offence so that I may delete it or offer an apology.

I know, but this is an "inside" joke....cuz we had a conversation on the matter in the past.

Your builds are the best.  I literally went back multiple times and read your build on the Revell 70 Cuda.  It helped me tremendously.   Thanks Tim for all of your input on this board.

I have so many Slixx and misc decals for these cars, that blank kits would be very welcome!
