I’ve got paint on it, but I keep winding up with a bit of trash in the paint.? I swept and vacuumed the garage floor the other day so I will try another coat, then some clear.

That chop looks really good Rooster.? I have a couple of AMT ‘49 Mercs…so I’ll follow along.

Anymore back talk from you, mom would say, and you’re grounded.

I am really disappointed that Scenes Unlimited is no longer. They had some really nice wheels and tires. A wheel back like that should be fairly easy to fabricate though from sheet stock….especially if you have some large 1/2”-5/8”? punches. Depending on what wheels you have…I’m not a fan the solid wheel backs anyway.

Seek and yea shall find.

Learn from your mistakes or you are doomed to repeat them.

I have heard that brake fluid can make styrene brittle.

House you live in could then be called a cathouse?

Lookin’ FINE!?

Nice work so far. The engines look good.? I built the Crew Chief Blazer and yeah….there are some scale issues.?

Wrong assembly techniques lead to glue bombs and glue bombs frequently get abandoned.

Fingers are not by chance the same caliber as your nostrils.

BorgWarner made some great transmissions.

That color looks great on it. What paint did you use?

They got one of the door hinges already too.? I can’t imagine a 10 year old kid building this kit.?

Action figure craze may have been started by Gumby?

Yes that is as far as I got. I think the door fits pretty good and the gap looks OK as is. There is already a lip on the top half for the door to sit against and it just needs to be extended down the latch side. The front edge might need a thin piece added inside the body for the door to be glued to. The only bad spot is the corner at the cowl which may need some backing or filler?

Fireball part numbers.

Move your finished model onto the shelf and grab another box.

Beautiful work!?

I thought the same when I got this kit and started to glue the doors shut. The door gaps are not too bad so with a few reinforcements on the inside, they should look OK. I gave up on it because I’m not a huge fan of these trucks.

You’ve got nothing to lose by trying a repair. I would likely try some Tamiya thin if you can press the cut shut enough so it bonds…and let it dry very well before proceeding. Thin CA would likely work also. You will need to be extra careful when shaping it now.

Search my memory so often that I wish I could google my noodle.

Thanks Mike!? That got me looking in the right era. It’s from the ‘31 Model A Sedan Kit. The two round pieces are the custom seat pedestals. Don’t know how they managed to get out of the box.?

Got a package from Amazon today and it was an empty envelope.?
