Something awful is a website, kind of a parody and celebration of the worst stuff to be found online. They have great photoshop contests and articles. Check out the link that dans1120 included in his post. JeffK is a parody of the hax0r idiots, and it's so beautifully done some people might not realise it. Some of the funniest stuff he does to me is threaten to beat people up on the internet. I have seen that crap so much over time. It never fails to break me up.

It's worth checking out for some laughs is all.

Dans1120, a buddy of yours created JeffK? Was it Rich or someone else? Just curious, I reas SA pretty often and it frequently cracks me up. I remember the first time I read any JeffK, I had tears from laughing so hard.

I think we are being the victims of an ingenious practical joker. He's getting a little desperate to be found out though. I mean, putting the national insignia on the upper right wing of the P-51 is casting any pretentions of subtlety aside!

This guy really got you guy's dander up! Why bother? This is the reason Ebay is and will continue to be so successful. Every individual has the means to sell what ever he/she wants. If you don't want it, don't buy it, don't even look at it! I could find multitudes of products that are miss represented on Ebay, but I value my time too much. Just think how much time you have wasted, analyzing this guy's models. Now apply that lost time to your own projects! GIVE IT A REST! And THANK GOD FOR FREE ENTERPRISE!

HAhahaha He needs to edit his descriptions one more time too-from the P-51D-
"model I am presenting has the marking of the fighter Ace who Fluw this plain called Miss Detroit."

That's a cut and paste. If he'd spend as much effort on building and improving his skills as he does his marketing, he'd be pretty good!

That made my day. Seriously though, it does look like he PS'd those pictures. He obviously forgot about the Apache though, because you can still see all the screw-ups from last time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2587&item=3136614208 Hmm, I should post my pic of the Apache with all visable errors circled.

ADDED:
Guys, I think this d00d has modified his model photos using photoshop...
The only reason I'd say that is because how "off" some things look. Doesn't the dark gray on his F-15 seem a bit small, and a bit misplaced? Or howabout the seams on it? The Revell F-15C kit he built is NOTORIOUS for huge, unremovable seams all over the place(I know, I have one up in my bedroom), but his has NONE.(Yet he has somehow managed to find the modeler's holy grail, none of the raised panel lines are gone.) The darn thing looks like a solid piece of plastic!

I don't know...
His Bristol Beaufighter looked pretty good, but the interior looked unpainted...
At least he's gotten better at at making the EXTERIOR look good, but he still needs more than enough time on the INTERIOR!!
The seams need to be filled too.

I wouldn't say he's a "Pro" but he ain't half bad. Maybe, to quote "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", he should "Try reading books instead of burning them..."?!

You know.
In the begining I defended this guy because I thought it was a "kid" trying to make a buck on the K mart kits he got down the street.(I consider kids to be 16 and younger).
Now I am sorry I did that.
I see clearly that this person is posing as a pro and does not have the skills he advertises.
I would like to apologise for making an "arse" of my self in past posts.

This does give me an idea though.
Perhaps we should put up a few of our own kits out their and drive this guy out of buisness?

Your thoughts???

We can test your theory merlin, I heard they caught Baghdad Bob yestersday (6/25/03). So if this guys "pro-built" stuff quits showing up on e-bay then we know it is him.

That may also explain why his OIF stuff is so unrealistic, Baghdad Bob never saw U.S. tanks either. Tongue [:P]

Hmmm-------Maybe you got a point. And the timing works out too.

From when "Baghdad Bob" disappeared, to when "Modeler Bob" appeared, would leave just enough time for him to slap his kits together in such a slovenly manner. And put them up for sale.

Okay you guys, listen to me now and believe me later
My theory, (and I think it's an excellent one)
Ya all remember Baghdad Bob from Operation Kill Saddam Hussein.
Well, this is the same guy!
Think of the commonalities here. They both make outlandish claims which bear absolutely no resemblance at all to the images we are seeing before our very own eyes and they're both named Bob!..I ask you--coincidence??

think about it....................... Wink [;)]

Ok, as a geography buff, this guy really irked me! Regarding the description with the F-84 and sending "one poilet over the No. Pole from Japan or So. Korea,to Russian targets" What? When the Korean Peninsula borders Russia and Japan is a short over water flight from Russia, why fly over the Pole? May his cat shed on all his freshly "airbrushed" models...oh wait, it looks like they did!

merlin, at least he answered your "ask seller a question". When I sent him one he ignored me completely. Maybe he followed the link to the last thread and didn't like what he read.

I meant that this guy reminds me of Jonesy in a roundabout way because he just keeps at it. And one doesn't need to look at anything else to know that this stuff ain't "pro-built". Dead [xx(]

It's difficult to tell on the feedback deal. Each of the three who bought from this guy, with the exception of one, seem to buy mostly items which are in no way related to modeling.

One has bought nothing but clothing. One has only recently bought a few model-related items, but mostly sports stuff and clothing. The third has made several model-related purchases, some sports stuff, some misc stuff and clothing.

Make your own deductions and draw your own conclusions. But I too have to laugh at the "pro-built" deal. There's alotta funny s*** in this world of ours, and this is just one of 'em!

Well if you read the buyer comments, they seem just a bit too enthusiastic after spending that kind of money. I wouldn't be suprised if there's a bit of "circular" buying going on there. You know, his other personalities may be buying them Wink [;)]

I'm sorry, if it wasn't for the circumstances I'd love to give this guy tips and advice and all the help I could, but using that "P" word just gripes my grits. (that's another "southern english" saying Big Smile [:D]

I just read the "Pro's" reviews on e-bay. To his credit, unlike "Jonesy" he at least
delivers and packs well. All 3 reviews are positive. For real "pro-built" models
one only needs to look at Fine Art Models website. The price alone is a dead
giveaway that this guy is no pro.
