Very cool of George! Good on ya, George!! I built that kit, too. I was surprised to find a 1/24 helicopter, and had my LHS order one. Goes together pretty well as I recall. I did it with RCMP markings, along with the kit stripes. I had to use a small nail or tack, or something for the rotors, so they'd rotate smoother was the only thing I had to Macgyver on it, just to beef it up a bit.

Nicely done! Looks very old school for sure.

That is pretty cool!!

That's cool. I love the old land yachts!

Nice bunch of models you showed here!

Very nice so far!

Good start, Nick. Where did you get the equipment (torch, tool box, jack, etc)?

I go to a non-club get together, an informal gathering of like-minded car modellers once a month, hosted by a lhs. No dues, no executive, very laid back. We do an annual group build, and the odd mini-build off. Good for the modelling juices for sure! Just the thing to talk with guys who can help with ideas, and what not. Great source for trades, buying and trading kits, etc. Good to get out of the house one evening a month to bench race, and talk plastic! I've also built some quick build type kits, or subjects I don't normally build. Another is to open a new project, and start that, after cleaning up the work area ( a relative term!). Other times, I just stay away from the bench for a period of time until I get an urge to build! Good to find what works to get you back on track. Good luck, and I hope you have a short spell of the doldrums!

Great, thanks for that Casey. Much appreciated!

Nice build! I built that kit way back then!!

Wow, very nice! Love the colour!

Nice build! Great when you can polish the plastic, and leave it at that! I built a '71 'Cuda (purple), and Hot Wheels Trans-Am Camaro (blue) like that, and I'm happy with the way they turned out!!

Nicely done variation on a 32 Ford! Well done!!

Nice Squires! Aunt Edna sure had a tough go of it! Talk about a car with 9 lives! Clark has a nice green, and love the wire caps! Do you still have Clark? Our '77 LTDII was the "Mid-sized" smaller wagon to the "Full-sized" LTD! With the back seat folded flat, I had 15 people in that car, me and 2 in the front seat, and 12 pilled in the back to go to a sand pit to play dodge ball! It took me 3 hours to vacuum out all the sand from all the nooks and crannies in the back!! Our '77 didn't have it, but my '00 Taurus wagon has the rear-facing 3rd seat! My 23 year old son still likes riding back there if given the chance!

Nice looking build! The wheels really do look great on it! Just another reminder that I have to get me a Tamiya Beetle kit, and a Ghia!

This is coming along nicely!

Bruno - I grew up in Pierefonds, QC, does that count?

Out of sheer curiosity, as I haven't got the Streetfighter kit, what are the differences that were un-done from the Bad Actor kit, other than the red glass?

Okay, so is it from the same mould?

Is this the same as the Bad Actor kit?? I bought a couple of those maybe 10 years ago, as a Selected Subject Series release, in off-white plastic, with clear windows. Just curious.

I'm in Greely, Ontario (Part of the City of Ottawa).

Wow, and Gunthr n skwirls ain't mad?? Wow, you must have them tied up real good!

CB - What's happening with Skwirls and Gunther??

Hmm, Poutine!! (Sorry, got stuck on that a few pages back...) Now I'm in need of the good stuff!! That God QC is just over the river!! I know a place in Brownsburg, and Lachute QC that ahs great poutine...there's one in Albert, ON, too...Shhhhh. What were we talking about? I don't know, I missed it, too...I had to post about poutine...
