Years ago I was on a board. Polar Lights released the 1966 Batmobile snap together and glue together kits they offered a first strike of each to the board. Winner was to assemble and give reviews. I won the snap together one I was new to the board and not the greatest modeller but was up for the task. The kit sent had no instructions. So I finally located a boxed kit for sale I began to realize this was going to be more than I thought. In the mean time I am reading bad things from other members p'd that I won. I was going to get someone else there to build it for me but got lots of messages to not use this and that person. So it’s been in my closet since. I am still not a modeller and now with the shakes detail painting is no gonna happen. What I’m looking for is people that were part of the board back then. And help me make this right

Wow Rob. I can honestly say I am totally NOT surprised you ran into characters like that. I've been on the internet since its inception way back when with dial-up modems and have encountered many similar people.
Thankfully, I can say I wasn't on that board. (that I know of). But, I'm unclear what exactly it is you're looking to "make this right"

If I could connect back to the board I d like to raffle it back to the guys that were there. It’s ,so I’m told, worth something to those guys. As it was the first one made before the actual product of the Batmobile started. There’s no paint or decals. I guess give it back

I guess give it back Boards come and go (except this one ! ) ; if you remembered the name of the board its possible someone here may have some info on it. Unfortunately, a lot of guys use nick names and if the board is gone the people who were on it may never have known the members real names.

I'm sorry you feel obligated to these folks, but the information is too vague. It's difficult to work with "years ago..." and "this guy and that guy" in something as vast as the Internet. What Don said.

Sorry that it’s all pretty vague and I can’t remember names or the forum it was in. All I can figure out is it was probably about 10 years ago. I was just trying to hopefully spark a memory in someone that may have been there. The board was not all negative towards me winning the Batmobile and there was those that encouraged me to build it. Thank you everyone that read and commented on my post.

Bert & Don have summed it up quite perfectly in my estimation. If you really don't feel you have the talent, I would post pictures here. We have 300-500 visitors a day and maybe they will be of further assistance.
