Raoul Ross Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Long time lurker, decided to join as I have questions... lotsa questions, mainly about my lack of painting skills. 66 years young, built a LOT of models back in the 60s/early 70s and am getting back into it. Looking forward to participating in the great discussions here! -Raoul Here's my first attempt after many years.

Raoul Ross Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanx Zippi. It was one of the Holy Grails when I was a kid and never got around to building. Next up is a Blue Printer MonkeeMobile I picked up at a huge model store in Minneapolis a few years ago. Missing the windshield but that shouldn't be too hard to reproduce.

Lobo2me Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Well done Raoul. I remember building a couple Willys almost 60m years ago. Last year I decided something close to replication Big John Mazmanian's ride would be fun and check out my other Gassers.

I assume you've visited Scale Model Supplies, in St. Paul? I loved that place, when I lived up that way! Very nice "comeback" build. Like the colors--stance is right on! Nice work!

I do not remember the name but there's Rail Road X-ing signal in the parking lot, 2 or 3 slotcar tracks and a scale drag strip in the back! Some really old/out of production kits, it was a little slice of heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite hobby shops, ever, and anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
