Jordan 191

Cool!

Yep. All the Red Owls are gone. It was a Minnesota company that is now Supervalu. I loved the logo as a kid. I've made screen printed t-shirts of the logo for my friends.

Getting closer:

It's this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXARMB&P=FR One of my local hobby shops is clearing them out for $10 each.

I am building this kit right now, and I looked at these pictures many times to see how the rear suspension pieces fit together. I love your color scheme. And engine choice!!!

It looks great! I've started the Cabin-sponsored version of this, but I still haven't painted the body or started the decals. Someday.

This is great.

I am building the AMT 1925 Ford Model T "2 complete kits in one box". I am building the custom coupe version, pretty much straight out of the box. I'm using the metal axles for strength purposes, and I don't plan to wire the engine. Here are some early shots:

My name is Adam and I live in Saint Paul, MN. I’ve been building models since my dad built a Revell Westfalia VW Vanagon with me when I was about 8 years old. That was 30 years ago. In my teens I built a lot of ‘50s Chevy’s, muscle cars, and dragsters, and then I built most of the Hasegawa Group C race cars. After that, I was probably one of the only kids who built models in his college dorm and after college I spent the money from my first job on Tamiya rally and touring car kits. My user name is in honor of my favorite kit I ever built, the Tamiya Jordan 191 F1 car (I’ll post pics sometime). I ended up taking about a 10 year hiatus from building and have little kids now that have taken up my time. I am currently building three kits: 1. the Tamiya Porsche GT2 racecar, 2. a Hasegawa Subaru WRX, and 3. the AMT Model T “2 kits, one box”. I've learned a lot from lurking here already. The Model T is coming along, so I will start posting pictures.
