Straightliner59 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I got a few things, today. The booklet in the Piranha kit is almost worth the price of admission, itself. It's pages of nothing but gorgeous photos! I got the AMX because neither kits, nor promos are getting any cheaper, and, I wanted something I could build--it'll likely be a curbside. Maybe either a Stock class drag car, or a road racer, of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. I'm guilty of buying more than I'll ever get around building. I rarely buy without the intention of building though. And surprising how much I do get done.

And a button to contact him. Contact him for what? I don't really know if he's offering anything I'm exactly interested in. From the photos I'm guessing he is. But, I'm not really sure from the his Facebook page is setup. At least that's what I found when I went there. Seriously? I guess you didn’t read my post you quoted. If you clicked on the link I posted, it goes to the first post on his page (the pinned post from January) that has the price list of items and ordering instructions. And you could message him if you have a question on a specific item. Pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get it back out and take a couple more photos, later. It's a '68, in "Classic Black" with a red interior, according to the box. I meant to mention all that, originally. Sorry.

Richard Bartrop Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 PM Hobby was offering free delivery in town, so I got some paint, and a couple of Molotow markers, One chrome, and one for masking. I figured they could use all the support they could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after this exchange, I really now don't give a flying you know what, what the guy has to offer. I have plenty of both styrene and resin sitting in waiting to be build. And there other's out there where can find out what they're selling, and for how much in a lot easier manner. If I need (read want) something, I'll buy from them. I just made a comment that I didn't like the layout of his Facebook page. And for that reason I'm some kind idiot?

Click on the picture, it takes you directly to pictures you can arrow thru. You don't care, sorry, but others may. I posted a link for you when you couldn't find a cheap Trabant. So I guess I'll think twice? No good deed goes unpunished. Sorry Rob, I appreciated it. Facebook sux to navigate but it ain't your fault ?

In fact go back to when you offered the help. I took it quite greatfully. Go back one page, you can see the Trabant I ordered using your help. Mr. Hall basically tells me I'm idiot because I can't figure out how to easily navigate someone's Facebook page. So I become a villain when I stand up for myself?

The fact Facebook is not your thing didn't seem to deserve your taking it personally. Hence my Decaf joke. But, here we are. Sigh. Report the post if you think it's an attack. It's not about you.

Report the post if you think it's an attack. It's not about you. Mr. Keyser, I do apologize. It's sometimes tough to tell on here whether somebody is joking or being serious. Without facial or body language, or voice inflection to fall back on, it's not always clear. There have been several times when I've made innocent comments that have been taken wrong.

And you Mr. Hall keep sticky you foot into it, from what I can see. Some of us do read and want other's help. But, at the same time, if we don't agree with you, or understand you, or what ever else, you do not need to insult us like it appears with this latest comment.
