traditional Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 My wife and I have been packing and arranging for a 'downsize move' and with all the packing of my toy and model rooms (2), I've finally been able to, again, get my hands on a few old models that were in cases, but in areas that were difficult to access. The models are all large size.....a Monogram 1/8 scale Jaguar E-type, A Monogram 1/8 scale '65 Corvette Stingray, and a Renwall 1/4 scale 'Visible Chassis'. These models were all painted and built around 4 decades ago, and relatively inaccessible for about 20 years, but I've now been able to digitally photograph them. Enjoy! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Beautiful, all three of them! Congratulations on building them so well and keeping them in such great shape all these years. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 They are all beautifully done and you are lucky they survived the move so well. Like you we are unpacking from a move that also was to downsize. I have my fingers crossed for the condition of some of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 !!! WOW !!! Those appear as though you just completed them yesterday ! While each one is splendid in their own right , it's that quarter-scale chassis that's the most outstanding . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticprime Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Absolutely gorgeous stuff! I especially like the Jag, but all 3 are top-notch craftsmanship! (And 2 rooms? Your wife must be a saint.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Possibly the nicest builds I've seen on all three kits, not very surprising considering the builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The Jag and 'Vette are my favorite. Maybe because I have both in the stash. I surely do hope mine come out half as good as your beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Very nice, Cliff! I love those big scale beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I've known about these kits for some time but I can't recall seeing them built up before. These are all beautifully finished and assembled. The Jag and the Corvette really do look like real cars-just awesome. I bet it's good to have them out for you to enjoy again. I definitely enjoyed seeing your photos! Thanks for posting them Cliff.

Kah puts Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Absolutely stunning. You must have quite the collection to not even look at those in 20 years. That Jag is brilliant. Good luck with the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
