• Latest hpiguys workshop video--I won't link it here but the last few minutes are hilarious! If you know, you know. *NM*
  • Glad he was so truthful, lol *NM*
  • Dang, I'm takin' that as a throwdown. I'm gettin' me one o' those kits, and we shall see.... *NM*
    • Test fit, don't re-engineer anything, it should work. I built a hardtop awhile back, it actually went together pretty well *NM*

        • Don Sikora did a really nice black hardtop as a gasser. Turned out very well. *NM*
  • I've followed his youtube channel for years first time he's ever said the F-bomb and gave up on a build *NM*
  • If ever there was a kit that did not align with the HPI ethos... it is that one
  • Someone please email me to describe which kit you're referencing. TIA *NM*
    • Email sent. *NM*
    • Is there a real or legitimate reason the kit can't be identified publicly - here? *NM*
      • Might be because our hosts offer it. *NM*
        • Bingo. *NM*
  • Sent the link to high school friend,the kit in question made him.quit the hobby. *NM*
  • Someone should send him an old IMC kit and see what he says about that! LOL! *NM*
  • Yeah, he tried walking it back, but truth is, he did more harm than good to Atlantis.
    • he talked to Atlantis if he should post the vid, they said yes do it, good or bad reviews are ok, they even on there site say it's not a great kit, this was posted on his FB page...... *NM*
  • The guy is basically a hack. I built that kit when I was in high school and it turned out way better than his. And I'm certain I didn't spend more than a few days building it. I used to knock out a couple models a week back then. *NM*
    • I think he does good work and nice builds. I think the kit in question and the related ones in that series always had fit issues *NM*
    • I'm with you Bill... I've also built a couple examples of that kit in the past. A bit challenging for sure, but never issues like this quy is whining about...
      • This brings to mind a hilarious buildup/review in SA featuring the reissued Isaac Torino stocker. Guy had a real bad day, fatuous remarks about poor fit and wrong instructions abounded, when he was the one that was messing it up as HIS pics showed. Surprised they printed it. *NM*
    • What I like about his videos is that you get to see things first, and his buildups show off the kit that helps me decide if I want to buy one. He's informative that way. And he encourages people to try who might not, otherwise. In his way, he's good for the hobby. *NM*
      • I've softened my stance on him a bit, I do like pre-build stuff and I fast forward to the end to see what the built version looks like. He's like a lot of youtubers, too much time showing him painting and gluing parts together. I'm not sure why so many of them do that.
