I've heard of guys taking up a hobby while they're on the road but never building models... really enjoying these builds man. This one turned out great.

Hope you didn't build this while you were actually driving.  :lol:   I always thought you guys were just sleeping when you're not driving and on the road.  Did you paint it at a rest park?  This is amazing to me!  Nice job on the model, by the way.

Nice build. Did you say 39 years?? Wow, you've been hard at it. I'm just a pup compaired to the time you've put in. I actually just recently quit driving to be home with the kids to watch them grow. (Company offered a spot in the office)

 

Are those Fujimi wheels on there I spy? I like the color combos you went with, they really compliment each other and the engine detail came out nice.

Nice job Gary.

 

I used to build models when I travelled to install computer systems. It was a great way to pass down time with nothing to do and kept me out of trouble. Then with all of the restrictions put in place for air travel I could no longer bring paint and tools on the road.

Gary from one gear grinder to another I can understand how disheartening it must feel when health removes you from your passion. Best wishes on speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing more of your work.
