Re: Look above i told you it was a scam!!
Look above i told you it was a scam!! I signed up and got nothing, they never even sent an email asking what wanted. Read the directions on the website under the promotion thread. It tells you how to get your models. No emails were sent. Follow directions... this is not a scam. Regards, Jason I wil...

Thanks, Jason -- that's a lot of info and very interesting. In the back of my mind, I had this idea of developing a subscription scheme for funding new products. We should talk about it over lunch!

So ... continuing my pestering with questions to try to get a handle on the economics of this business ... Is the $150k figure to just get molds done? If so, how much more does it cost to get all the way through injection, painting and assembly in China? I'm sure there's some major factor of scale ...

Mikeg, I know exaclty how you feel about 1/18 scale stuff right now. I'm in the same boat. I just don't have the passion right now that I had for this stuff a few years ago. For me, I think it is because right now the hobby is just stale. There is really very little new stuff out and almost nothing...

El Diablo literally translates into "The Devil" by the way. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby! It is a quote from the movie and makes me laugh and laugh... You should watch the movie. The "El Diablo line" is in the last five minutes of the movie. I am a sucker for a really corny movie. Re...

No offence was meant to you Jason or anyone else here, but I'm sure you can understand the need to vent sometimes. The endless waiting and the fact that some of us live at the edge of the world where nothing happens can be quite frustrating at times. Absolutely no offense taken, just frustration on...

Yes, that is why I am going to China. Final production on the Hartmann and El Diablo (Spanish for Fighting-Chicken or something). Another reason for my visit is to establish a production line for a new company with whom we will be working closely with. This company specializes in the 1:6th scale. Mo...

Jason, are you and the gang going to show at Wings Over Houston again this year? I've been every year since I was 8 (IIRC), so this will by my 11th year, and I'm hoping I'll see you again. AlloySkull, I think I do remember you. We use screen names on this website and therefore it is difficult to ke...
