A couple of Hurst Hairy Olds-50 years apart

[sflam123]

I've been in a terrible building slump lately.  I've been unable to get enthused about starting a new project or finishing some old ones.  I was looking at my old models and just decided to build a new version of an old one.  I happened to have a rerelease of the Monogram Hurst Hairy Olds in my stash and thought "Why not."  So here they are...the version I did in 1968 with brush paints and the version I did 50 years later.  I didn't wire or detail the motor, as I just wanted to accomplish a completion.  Hope y'all like it.

The 1968 version

 

The 2018 version

Very nice. Built one a while ago, that gold is a bear to paint.

Very nice, and quite an improvement!

I've done a couple models that were basically remakes of ones I did as a kid. They were fun! I wonder if there would be any interest here in a "Take Two" group build?

Here are a couple more pictures of the 2018 version
