Scale-Master Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Did anybody else notice how much dust is on that in the crevices? That puppy has been built and on a shelf for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny K Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hmmmmm.... he saw this thread? Interesting... Don't think there was ever any real doubt that would occur; in fact, I imagine several members here have sent a 'Question to Seller' asking his reasoning behind the listing, and/or advising of this thread. His item has had over 500 views since this thread started - impressive since that is several hundred more than any of his other 11 'pro built' listings (titles of which have not been changed yet). Yes, interesting . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRollerLT1 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Now excuse me while take my daily dose of Advil and Mikes Hard Lemonade, while looking at this guys so-called "PRO-BUILT" kits he has listed. Lordy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalenut Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I think I have it figured it out ,, I was looking at some of his other auctions. everything pre built he is calling pro built any loose kits that have a painted (or half painted) body he mentions pro painted body when I think he means pre painted I'm wondering if he means pre built, because he has some other auctions that say model with pro painted body,, and they are terribly sprayed.... but are painted .. I honestly think he is confused between the words pro and pre. that would make sense of the whole thing.. a grammar issue Edited January 19, 2012 by scalenut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Excellent call , Mr Jones ! I do believe you are correct ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Maybe he's a pro builder! And in such a case he would be right in saying that his models are "pro" built. No matter what the quality it would still be built by a "pro". Sorry guys i tend to think outside the box most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Or- he himself is a professional modeler, but this particular model isn't one he built himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Or- he himself is a professional modeler, but this particular model isn't one he built himself. Or, perhaps he is a professional underwear model-er and he slaps gluebombs together in between Fruit of the Loom photoshoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Andy, I think you are right, I think he does mean "pre" but uses "pro." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Andy, I think you are right, I think he does mean "pre" but uses "pro."

sjordan2 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Nobody has said it specifically that I can see, but he now calls it a "built" model and not "pro-built." Therefore, I don't buy into the validity of any argument that he meant "pre-built," and I think he was using scamming salesmanship. Why would anyone say "pre-built" anyway? Could it be "post-built" later? Edited January 19, 2012 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Could it be "post-built" later? Not sure skip, but if you buy it...you could strip it and re-pre- build it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 When the going gets tough, the not-so-tough go Semi-Pro[/] http://www.ebay.com/...9#ht_500wt_1286 Semi-pro built. Here we go again!!! Did he mean someone who is semi-professional and what does that mean? Or did he mean semi-built which the kit is. I have some pro-unassembled kits that I might be willing to sell. I also have pro-disassembled kits too! Those were glue bombs I bought and took apart. The best ones are my pro disassembled /rebuilt models!
