Here is a bar I built from some live edge wood I got for $4 each. I have a bunch more, I just haven't figured out what to do with it yet. And this is an old 46 Ford Doodlebug my father & I are building. It was a dump truck with a 10 foot body on it. We took that off and junked it, then moved the rear up for a shorter wheelbase. We changed the engine because the old one was locked up, got the transmission unstuck and last week we wired it up. I'm going over now to see if we can make it run today. Wish me luck, I think I'm gonna need it!🤪

Thanks David. Definitely get some pics on here of those guitars Dan. We would all love to see them for sure! And the deck & pergola too, I'm always looking for new ideas to steal.😉 Thanks Alan, I built that for a pregnant stray cat to live in with her kittens. BAD IDEA, now we have 4 cats because nobody would take a kitten. Of course they don't live in that house anymore, they're in MY house.

There might be another thread of this but I couldn't find it. So, what else do you like to build? In the summer months I hate to be inside so I don't do much modeling. I do like working on old cars, gardening with my wife and building stuff out of old wood, leftover scraps, old deck boards and pallets. Here are a some things I've built, lets see some of yours!

Not today but about a week ago I had to break down and buy a new mower. After 20+ years the old one is pretty much shot.

Thanks Steve.

Thanks John and Carl.

I wish I did, but I could never bring myself to spend almost $100 on a kit🤑. The Ollies kits are more my price range. What can I say, I'm cheap.😁

I got 3 Ollies kits and an ebay 3d printed 68 AMX body. Is it me or is this body a lot smaller than 1/25? Next to my Rambler it looks tiny.

Thank you all for the great comments, I appreciate it.

I built this for a local 1:1 car club that is raffling off a bunch of stuff to raise money at their show this Sunday. Just a quick build, nothing fancy but I think it should do ok. I did one for them last year and a lot of people seemed to like it. It was a little different, a 64 Galaxie that was half restored and half junk, I called it "before & after".

Thanks Carl.

I'll be watching for sure. My first car was a 65 Fairlane. I wish these kits weren't so expensive, I have 2 old glue bombs but they're really rough. I can't wait to see more!

Very true George, this thing will never be "done". Thanks George, that is a Ms Pac-man game that I found years ago at Toys R Us before they went out of business. It works too, kind of hard to see but still fun. Here's one I found on ebay, you might be able to find one cheaper somewhere else. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176867241731?_skw=tiny+arcade+ms+pacman&epid=12007728713&itmmeta=01JSCB6P9Y0J4JXTDH559N37TW&hash=item292e1bef03:g:ysEAAeSwt7JnuqRE&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eIoVdHmyMJTwxME3y3yEElz4FxHCvK5v0SMeceuWCd%2FUoUZiDLUvugiIfhoJiYeG9%2BMLbNl64KZBwpBmQFs1bE1TEGeVldRvY4Cifbc6YDocyQ56wBwo4vuA6FatA71OYsiHfRX0DL0EbWPt0V6ApiSJp5Gne6Yxi5nO9wrQ%2FD0TYyrw%2Fo%2F8z5kqalNF53Un1X0iXsOzoxJZ7jYAYddSaGkrxMQ8C%2BmmK9dwQytRSotvzVZk1aUnzmcWYQkXbcjvA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LlmovLZQ

Thanks Bill, I know I need to dirty up that floor but when I try it just never looks right. I'll get it eventually.

I haven't had too much time to build, but I've been playing with my garage trying to make it look better.

Vintage Flathead goodies!

Thanks Chris, I made the cups by chucking a piece of evergreen tubing in my dremel and scribing some grooves in it, tapering the bottom and some red paint. Thanks Jim! I appreciate it.

PERFECT!

I've never built this complete kit, but I've used the engine a lot and it can be detailed real nice. The chassis is nice too but the front end parts can be fragile.

I can't wait to see more! Great work so far.

That turned out great!

I just sold this old built up on ebay yesterday. It had that flat cover for the bed.

Nice start! Great for displaying builds and taking photos.

Thanks John. Thanks Joe, the little stuff is the fun part for me. Thanks Carl!

Vintage double kit builds. After some cleaning they look pretty good.
