Hey, just concentrate on your health right now and don't think about anything else. Hope to hear good news from you soon.

Hi Robert,

Look after your health first.

But when you do get back to it I would love to see Landrover and Jap 4x4's including double/crew cab pickups. If you want some photos and/or measurements of a Mitsubishi L200 double cab just ask as I have one sitting outside (mine) these are all over Europe, Japan, South America and the Middle East although they sometimes have a different name.

Ciao

Yes, please take care of your health first. May you recover soon!

I will definitely buy some cars from you but they must be less than $15 each. I have been trying to convert this 1/32 snap car to a reasonably looking 1/35 car and got sick of putting putties. I would welcome it wholeheartedly.

Rob,

Right on, Bro! I see multiple markets for this too. Railroaders, slotcar racers, oddball modelers, kitbashers, would all pay good money for civvie vehicles. Good idea, hit me with a catalog! I'll buy!

I got your phone call Robert..... My new improved cell phone has died, and it's all of 3 months old, and I've been waiting for a warrenty replacement. I'll return the call as soon as it arrives. Or when the land line guy gets here to install that....... the race is on, I'm taking bets as to which arrives first...... the cell, or the landline...... :-)

If anyone is interested, the link below is to a store that sells some 1/35 scale vac-form kits of some trucks and cars.

I'll still without a phone Robert....
I'm such a happy Cingular customer, was told the replacement phone was shipped out on the 13th, and when I enquired about it on the 18th, I was given a tracking number, and that number now shows it was shipped on the 20th, not the 13th as first told.....

Did I say I'm such a Happy Cingular customer, very satisfied with their outstanding customer service. I would not recommend them to my worse enemy.

Hisham, thanks for the link.

Wow, to put things into perspective, in less than a year, the market now has some 1/35 Japanese pickups.

I guess we can all serenade the power of the Internet now.
