    The little blue van thing is an 1/32 scale MPC R2D2 star wars van from 1977, Google it I didn't know they existed till I had an Idea and theses popped up on ebay, I got all 3. The Darth Vader van ( black) and a Luke Skywalker van.( white ) non of them came complete missing wheels, and Decals, they came from Canada, they were worth the wait. and affordable for untouched, body's and chassis. windows were in great shape, and interiors two. ( I paid $8 bucks ! for all, thats it! + shipping $20 )... norm over$50 - $100 each complete and boxed. Im Mashing it with the AMT Moonscope kit it's a 2002 remake. ( part of a large collection I purchased ) @ Rick, I'm not sure what to get, I'm going to the Hobby store to get better knowledge on compressors. i'd like to spend no more that $200 on it, anyone have any ideas, on what to get? What do you have? like it? Thanks Jonathan

    You know I dig it Jamie! Corvette parts new or old make great donor part's, rear ends, suspension exhaust etc...Sounds like you have a couple I get lucky at time with thrift store's, hobby store's some have a parts and junk bin, doesn't hurt to ask the clerk. I like the wheels and tires on it. And yes on the bar... lots of speakers- maybe a disco ball??? , and yes I aggree with Riley some shag!! lol Cool your getting to the van, I'm happy to share and pass along some of my collection, that means I made more room for MORE models! Take your time and have fun thats what it's about!

    Yep so right Rick... the washroom will be trimmed on mine as well, So my pass through work will stand out better, only problem, is the floor base. Thanks and whats up to Rick, Troy, Raymond, Hector, Mike, Gaute from Norway what Sup and thanks. I'm waiting for tax cash, so I can get a compressor for the air brush, then I'm in business. till then I have nothing to update... I'm bummed, that means I'm not building much. I have been doing a side project...

    Thank you Mark. Miles, Bill Thank you guy's. It's grat to hear that about your sisters Ray, it mean alot to me having your support and prayers ! I do my best and I'm still here I've outlived my diagnosis. I don't go to far from home, and I got to tell you everybody, I am loving building and creating, it takes my mind off of everything, and the build is all i'm thinking about. and it so great, as you all know this hobby is more than it looks. I want to do my best on these models, I am improving, even being a bit down at times, And I learn so much from all of you. I can't say thanks enough. Thank you gang!

    cancer sucks, Chemo hook up for 4-5 hours, having a pump fill you with chemicals that do fight cancer but also wipes out every part of your body. I know theres worse things out there. i do not complain two much, Thanks for the venting forum!!

    My Daily Driver is a 2003 Ford F 150, 66,XXX miles, 4x4 bone stock, oh i did put in a doggy back seat cover thats looks the fit! and the Leer Canopy is all it is. But I love it, so comfortable a great driver. My baby that was the first car i drove, it was purchased by my grandparents in 67, and I accquired it in 1996 when they passed being the only grandson. is a 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom, 65,XXX miles all original but the dual flowmaster exhaust, new gas tank and re built carb. she run's like a top and sounds like a beast. It's not driven all to often, never in the rain, and I live in a rainy climate, so if a sunny day comes around I'm out! Sadly the 77 Firebird and my beloved 79 GMC Van had to go. Damb you Cancer!!

    Model Kings Camper set. Im going with a 1964 Chevy pick up Truck, I've cut out the truck and camper to make it a pass thru. The chassis and truck body is nearly finished, it's getting the matching truck bed as a trailer, And a bit of a Corvette theme.

    The other part of this set, The Camper is on the workbench as I type, I'm stumped on a cool RV side design. I'll create a new post for it but here is a sample photo set.

  17. Model Brain
