    I have more kits than brains or lifetime left to build them all, but this new year I decided to do the opposite of restraining and not buying kits

    I am going to fill in the missing holes of kits I want in collections

    so, a couple Tamiya F1 1/20 scale cars are coming….the first

    and I got the old repop‘d  Orange Crate kit  to see if I can build it better than a pre teen did way back long ago

    Emergency surgery just before Christmas for eating a hunk of towel and lodging it into her stomach/small intestine

    Homer donut for a week but she bounced back quickly despite a cold shaved tummy in the snow

    Aaahhh I am so late to the party here

    Just loving everything you are doing, especially the in progress work photos with the car on jacks and such…so cool

     

    Digging out my kit’s photos…I got a Fujimi 356 from  an auction and inside it came with James Dean’s 550 Spyder car body as well

    Hey you are still in here messing about with this Bull

    I am always so amazed at your abilities with styrene…bending tubes, making hinges and scratching out full parts. And then how clean it all looks, like it just belongs there with perfect edges and no schmutz of melted plastic everywhere.

    I do not have that skill with styrene and have to resort to brass and other metals and it still does not look as ‘professional’ shall I say

    Nice work bud

    For those who need it...

    My company has a derelict  R 700 L on our Backlot. 

    If you want, I can take a few pictures of it.

    It's mostly intact, but it doesn't run anymore ( I believe it has more than 3,000,000 miles on it.)

     

     

    Well that would be cool indeed. 3M miles holy crabs

    The engine set up is of interest to me,as just the overall body appearance vs the smaller kit truck

    I thank you  in advance and please take your time and be safe when taking pics, there is absolutely no rush 

    Cheers👍🏻😎

    I did not know Dave at AITM had passed away, sad news

    Had some discussion with him a couple yrs ago and went another route for the build. 
     

    If you read the start of the thread, I have an entirely different kit to use as the base and still will go that way with some 3D printing along the way.

    This is a nostalgia kit for me as I made it as a kid and I did a pretty good job with a mediocre kit.

    This kit fell into my lap a couple weeks ago. Local seller, semi reasonable price, immaculate kit

    It came on my last day of work before a vacation so I only snapped a couple pics and poked through the box at lunch then had to leave it

    I am eyeballs deep at work, building a sailing ship model and doing woodwork for a ski room 4 hrs away from home…. So not likely that this will get started anytime soon

    Wonderful result, Scott - I came across this just a few minutes ago - how could I miss it? (I should browse the bike part of the forum more often..)

    Knocking built models off the table happens every now and then, it can't be avoided always - but you managed to repair the bike again.

     

     

    Thanks for commenting

    At least it was me that knocked it over and not the cat or my wife dusting 

    Nobody to blame but me 😀

    These came in on Monday....the Mercedes came from Canada and the 3d parts are from Portugal ( ordered just over a month ago). Three sets of tires, a widebody kit for the Tamiya Mustang GT, and Ford GT.

    Parts look nice, but second printer I've bought from that doesn't fully cure their parts. Out in the sun they go, or time to get a UV light.

    Might wanna do an isopropyl alcohol rinse first and get all excess resin residue off. Then a UV light or sunshine
