Very nice job. Got to love the Angels and Thunderbirds.

It's fun to see your builds, Adam. I too am a fan of losers. And I love the Brat. I keep hoping that Round 2 will get around to reissuing it.

Thank you Mike. Seeing what you've done above helps a lot. Beautiful job by the way. I love the color and plan on building mine fairly close to your. I love it.

Okay guys. I got my MPC Hydro-Vee Boat Kit today. Opened the box, and there are a few things I'm a little confused about. One mounting the outboard motor to the boat itself. See the photo below of instructions. The set up make no sense to me at all. I'm confused mainly on parts #10. Is that were they mount? And how do they hold the engine in place? Second, there are three extra parts in the kit (see third photo below), that are not shown in the instructions. Anybody have any idea what these parts are? And if they are for this kit, were would they get used?

Brought home a few goodies from our regular vendor at the MCCM (Model Car Club of Minnesota) meeting tonight.

This is of those kits (the Pestige version) that I've had sitting on back burner for a few years now. Looking at the parts and instructions, I've always been a little intimidated by it. How does it build? I know it not up Tamiya's 300SL. But, is it really a bad kit?

A very nice and quick build. Monogram's HO scale Big Boy Locomotive with Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range markings. This kit was issued back in 1984. In real life the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railroad never actually ran the Alco 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotives. They did run Baldwin 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones, which were nearly a big as the Big Boys. In fact the real DMIR 229 was a Yellowstone. Only Union Pacific ran Big Boys in real life. And Revell of Germany is still offering this kit with Union Pacific makings, so you build a "correct" variation of this cool steam engine.

I love '32 Fords. And my goal is to try to build every 1/24 and 1/25 scale '32 I can find. Here is another one. This is Revell kit #7804. Released in 1999. It's the McDonald's Diorama & '32 Ford Street Rod. Originally issue by Monogram's as the lil' Deuce back in the 60's. Still a nice kit. Build quite easily. And no, I did not put together the cardboard diorama, as of yet. It's still in the box.

By the way, here is the chassis for the Cougar II. So far, so good.

Classic stuff. I love 'em.

Very nice.

Yow! I think I've gone blind! The kit below came in today's mail. I opened it up and was blinded by the bright yellow plastic inside. Other than that it looks like a nice kit.

I'm impressed with what I'm seeing so far. But very curious on how your doing the front end. I've always loved the way the grille on the '70 Riviera wrapped down into the lower part of the bumper. It gave the car a very "kustom" look. Blew me away the first time I saw one. Back in 1970.

I have the Revell Ford C HO car carrier. If I ever find a moving van for the right price, I'll add one to my collection.

I've got the interior and chassis of the Cougar II done already. Obviously you Ray, would recognize it's chassis. Over all, what's been built so far has gone together fairly well. But, that body worries me. Especially the working side windows.

Here is the Hot Wheel I was inspired by.

This is the old IMC, later Testor's and then Lindberg kit. I've got mixed feeling about this one. A tough build. And flimsy when finished. But, a neat subject. A couple of changes I made. I never like the white with blue accents of the real car's interior. A couple of years ago Hot Wheels did a white Mustang II with a solid blue interior. I liked that one much better, so I copied that idea. I was going to add the blue stripe decals. But, after seeing it sitting there in it's plain white pearl Tamiya lacquer, I decided to leave it that way. Again, I don't know how I feel about this kit. It turned out okay. But no we're near great. Will I ever build another one? No. It's a crappy model of a cool car. Now to finish it's Cougar II sister kit. I hope that turns out a little bit better.

This was built from an AMT reissue of the original MPC '69 Mustang Mach I kit. As noted in Tim Boyd's book, Collecting Muscle Car Model Kits, even though MPC claimed it to be a Mach I. It is not. The kit has always come with GT hub caps and gas filler cap. Not correct for a Mach I. So that's how I decided to build this one, without the Mach I decals. Making it a GT. I still need to find correct GT stripes for the car. Otherwise it's done.

I assume it's complete? And if so, what's a reasonable offer? I'd be very interested in it. PM if you would le please.

Very nice. A kit Revell(?)/Monogram needs to reissue.

I love it. Very nice.

Wow! Very nice.

A lot of great models in this thread. Fun to see.

Nice.

Very nice. (Both Olds.)
