I am too! well I live in the dallas area. Are there any good model shops out there? B/C when I lived out there, there was nothing!

If you're in the Lewisville/Flower Mound area, there are two okay ones. There is Hobby Town USA, located in the shopping center on 3040 and Valley Ridge in Lewisville, then the Hobby Lobby located on Main St. and Old Orchard in Lewisville.

Wow, some amazing cars... I guess that's what being rich is all about.
Are you getting a *ahem* commission for building this model?
I suppose it would be enough if he just offered you a spirited drive in the country in one of those beasts.

Yea I've been to that one a couple of times, nothing really good there.

There's really nothing in the way of model/hobby shops in Midland, except for Hobby Lobby. I found a few in the DFW area, not much in the way of supplies; the Hobby Town USA on 3040 had some decent stuff and Wild Bill's in Irving had a nice kit selection.

I am very happy that we were able to see some pics. I know we live in a "free country", but let's keep politics and religion out of this forum. Life is to short to freak out about such things as the fish on this guys Enzo! It's his car, he can do what the heck he likes with it... even paint it pink with polka dots if he wants. Secondly, it was very poor judgement to turn this modellers post into what it is now. CivicChic, if your guy wants to say thankyou in French, it is spelled "Merci" with no "e". I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada if you doubt me I look forward to your progress thread for this one.

[Lurchio]

Just read this thread very amusing!

Good luck Civichic, great opportunity you have, enjoy it!

Lot's of touchy people out there but I have to say the fish is awful - and god is awesome stcikers??!
I suppose you can have all the money in the world and still be sad! (Would still love to be him though!)

Whoa, this is starting to go too far.

One man's poison is another man's sugar as they say. I'm one of the least religious people I know but that doesn't mean I have a problem with those who are. There are probably things you do which other people would find 'sad'.

Being 'judgemental' is far more 'uncool' than being religious

[Lurchio]

(A) it's one mans meat is another mans poison
(B) there are loads of things I do that people would consider sad - like making model cars!
(C) I'm being opinionated not judgemental and as for uncool - I stopped trying to be the fonze years ago!

Still think it looks awful! Can I say I bet he has a great sandal collection? Probably not!

If you don't like my opinion then turn the other cheek (as it says in the good book!)

You can be as judgemental as you want with regards to religion, but I think sticking an awful looking fish on the back of an Enzo Ferrari is a little tacky. But that’s the problem in today’s society so quick to label and sometimes not to think, is this right, is this wrong, will this offend. We all do it, we all offend; do something that someone else will not like. It’s a very un-tolerable world we live in, the tolerance between others can and “will” create war and suffering – Anyone married..!!

He perhaps is grateful for his good fortunes and thanks his religious believes for this by showing his respect and adorning his most treasured possessions with a small god fish. And you have to respect that, but I also see how this could offend or even anger others and result in comments such as we are reading how. The fish DOES looks cheap and tacky; the car is a symbol of power and brute force. Not really a religious symbol at all really so his affixation with his religion and the affixing of the fish to the car has I think tarnished his own belief.

I wouldn’t have thought the circles he belongs to would want to be affiliated with a machine of power, after all would this not be considered a self righteous act of indulgence in which would be a sin? How ironic to affix the fish to such a powerful and expensive car in the first place.

I wish you all the best of luck with the model build, and your friend obviously respects his beliefs, and I will not pass judgement other to say – “the fish looks rubbish, but I fully understand his devotions and why, even if it could be interpreted in the wrong way, he surly believes the fish is for the better good”.

[americanmuscleman]

y u people all talking bout religion? she posted this to show us that shes doing the car, not to have people talkign botu religion.when u get an enzo u can put whatever u want on it but u probally dont have one so stop complaining. just my 2cents

[Lurchio]

She posted pics of a beautiful car with an added design feature - we are passing comment on the design feature not religion! Who's complaining?
It's gonna be a model of a real car so no different to passing comment on wheels etc!

As for Brandons comment - I have no idea what the first part means and wouldn't expect you to understand the second!
Forget it - if you can't take other peoples honest comments/ opinions/ judgements then what's the point!
Lovely car - great fish!

I second the Cobra Colors suggestion. they are a great source for factory Lambo, Ferrari and Porsche colours.

Why can't people take the hint? This is not the place to discuss religion.
