Anybody up for a non-part related model trivia topic in this section?

 

If yes, who was Tyrone Bachnagel?   :blink:

I'd be interested. I can answer this one, but I cheated and googled.

I would be up for it. Would it just be like pop culture, automotive, music,ect?Or would it just be everything that isn't a model part?

No, this would be model car/truck/motorcycle kit related trivia, but it wouldn't be a parts identification type thread like the other topic in this section.

Nope. He didn't exist beyond a sheet of paper, or outside of Dave Deal's mind.  ^_^

I'm a big fan of Dave Deal's artwork but without looking in my library I have no idea who he is .

 

This type of trivia would be fun but could get pretty obscure .  Maybe each question would also have a hint with it ?

 

And of course " No Cheating " !

Agreed.

Also agreed. I don't know if Googling is really cheating, though, as I've had to use Google to try and find answers to many of the kit parts trivia posts. As long as we get correct answers and the topic keeps moving along, it should be fine...so Don should probably answer this one now since he was the first to answer.

Tyrone Bachnagel was the "driver" in Revell's Deal's Wheels Bug Bomb kit.
