        Catalog? You mean like a Sears and Roebuck catalog made out of tree material?

          David,

          I have the Moebius 1:72 scale Skipjack also. I have the 3.5" SD for it as well. The only thing lacking is the Merriman fitting kit. To bad Bob stopped stocking them. If you ever decide to make a few kits, I for one would sure pay up for it! :-))

              Hi David and Bob,

              I likewise have a Revel/Mobious 1:72 Skipjack and would immediatly purchase a fittings kit if available! I actually visited David when he was working on the Masters.

                Likewise David,

                Also have a Moebius Skipjack, that is craving a DM fittings kit.

                  OK. I'm flattered you all want this product.

                  But NOW?!

                  Where the hell were you guys when I put these on the market? And even then people were *****ing about the 'high price', "Geeze! that simple little fittings kit costs more than the model kit itself, what a rip off" Well, you tight-wads killed that goose. Few of your are prepared to pay what my work is worth.

                  Make it yourself … what a strange and foreign concept these days!

                  If I was to re-tool and put that fittings kit back in circulation today it would retail at nearly $400. Still interested? Show of hands! Hello! Anyone out there?... is this thing on? Cricket sounds. Nothing. I thought so.

                  But, don't worry about me. I have all the fittings kits I'll ever need.

                  I do this **** for money. That makes me a whore. But, know this: I'm an expensive whore, and I come with all the fixings.

                    Oh please, let this image be forgotten and removed from my memory. LOL
                    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                      remove the fire-engine red lipstick, spike heals, and bottomless panties from your imagery and you'll be OK, Tom. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

                        "bottomless panties". I'm going outside; I may be some time. (As stated by Captain Oates having seen Commander Scott's bottomless panties).

                              I own a set of the fittings but do not plan on selling them. Would they be of any help to Dave M. if he wanted to make more? (i.e. are they needed in order to make producing new tooling easier?)
