It would be great to see some photos of this as you progress. I love the Raiden, though it sounds like there are some glitches in GPM's version of it. Cheers --- Larry

I'm not a ship guy but the ships offered by these two companies are truly extraordinary. Thanks for weighing in on ship companies. Cheers --- Larry

One of my favorite cartoon characters!!!Any chance we can talk you into making your design available? In any case, thanks for sharing your project. Cheers --- Larry

Thanks for the insights into Modelik. I've followed your builds and the kits and your work on them are very nice. It's good to have some comments from the "vehicle" modelers here as mostly, this thread has been about airplane models. Part of the commercial card world I find confusing is...

You're certainly using your vacation time to good adantage. Lots of progress on a beautiful model. Thanks for sharing the progress. Cheers --- Larry

Ah...I confess that I confuse lots of these Paper..... and Karton....sites at this point. I just did :-) Cheers --- Larry

A good example where multiple opinions about the same thing are valuable. Each transaction is different and each person's view of the transactions/products are different. Given my quest for the Lublin, I've just ordered one from PMS. Ordered one of these as well :-) Goes without...

Ah...so Answer/ModelArt is different from ModelArt and, I surmise, different from Answer (my Spitfire kit is Answer with no ModelArt in the name). Life is confusing sometimes :-) I know about these guys as a source for the Lublin but Carl's '2-month delivery' msg sort of made me shudder. I...

Carl recommended these two Halinski kits and I ordered them. From Hobby Factory they do come with English instructions and his advice is 'right on' in my opinion. Both of these models are 1) gorgeous and 2) not overly complex. The Halinski diagram support is wonderful and I think anyone who...

I've been associated with various aspects of the hobby world for a long time and one thing is consistent. Those 'cottage industry' designers, who decide to try to make money with their designs, aren't automatically blessed with an understanding of product development and marketing saavy...

True, but not because of the consistency of building kits from the same manufacturer. Rather, it's because Halinski has a legend that explains what their codes mean. I find it amazing that kit designers believe they can just make numbers red or put asterisks next to them and 'assume' that...

Sure...so what? I've seen this sort of 'complain about the review/reviewer' stuff in other model venues. I can't understand it...at all. We live in a veritable sea of 'opinions'. Sometimes we pay attention to them, sometimes we don't. But when we buy pretty much anything significant we ask...

It seems this thread is starting to get at some of the meaty issues associated with not only kit quality but kit reviewing and creation. That's wonderful in my opinion as the issues are certainly worthy of discussion. It's hard to figure out why this sort of thing is seen as a mystery to be...

You mentioned that Halinski kits aren't for beginners and you're probably right, even though I suggested that their great instructions/drawings provide a lot of builder support. I think the difference in our view is that beginners need something far more than 'easy to build.' Fiddler's Green...

Good point. I get the feeling that I stumbled into the cardmodeling world at the right time. And maybe if people would be more vocal about good customer service, good designs, English translations provided, etc. these companies would do more business. Right now they're "lucky" because...

Absolutely no rush, Michael. You guys who sell via download are far too concerned about how many hours there are between order and response :-) Remember Carl's comment about 2 months between order and receipt of his Halinski kits (grin)? This does relate, however, to this thread, I suppose...

Carl, I thought that rather than hijack Chris's build thread I was starting to do, I'd start a new thread where we can discuss kit experiences, opinions, etc. As a newbie I find the ocean of designs & manufacturers producing them to be really hard to navigate. Seems that for each kit there...

Wonderful!!! I printed the Dauntless last night. It's really much more impressive once you have a stack of sheets to look at :-) I particularly like your instruction sheets. Very well done. Thanks again. Cheers --- Larry

I'm never in that much of a rush for these kits. As I'd never ordered from you, though, I thought that maybe I'd missed something since the other guys had gotten their kits within minutes of release. The design looks good. Have you considered doing kits in 1:32 or 1:33? I really prefer...

As I said, I wouldn't have thought anything about it except that the process by which you were getting yours seemed to "automatic" that I thought maybe I was missing something. As it turned out, no more than half an hour after I posted my query here, I got the notice from Nobi. Quite fast...
