Thats some nice work. Merk

Submarines have always been a bit scary with the close quarters and dark waters. Not too bad in scale but years ago I went through the U-505 exhibit at CHICAGO MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. It was tight. There was video of the capture on the high seas. Those guys were tough. U-505 Submarine - Museum of Science and Industry (msichicago.org) Nice work on the U-217

Hi guys: Had the Mayflower on my mind because we had a discussion on the subject at this weekend's car show. Plymouth had the Mayflower on their cars for years. Had a 48, it had the Mayflower coming at you on the grill, traveling with you on the hood and hubcaps, going away on the taillights.

What was I thinking? The Jolly Roger on the Mayflower! Come on, that was funny.

Hello : I was a bit vague with my opening because I wanted some first impressions on any boat subject. Thanks or your thoughts. I'm comfortable with categories' as they are.

Nice, It's a beauty. I hadn't thought about ships I was thinking trailer boats. Welcome aboard. got me wondering about the difference between a ship and a boat so I Googled it. Everyone agrees a ship is larger than a boat but how large? I Liked Wikipedia definition. " a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can't carry a ship. Is that the Mayflower ?

Boats, Yea or Nay

Hello: I enjoyed your car and story. Thank You

When I was a kid we would take our Eldon wood burning set and melt plastic on to old model cars and than crash them into each other demo derby style. If only I had one of these .https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Remco-Clyde-s-Car-Crusher-ORIGINAL-BOX-ONLY-No-Toy-Included/274372192580?_trkparms=aid%3D1110004%26algo%3DSPLICE.COMP%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200423103423%26meid%3Dd31b55ee62ab4a84aabf2ee87e1ef52f%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D392804648133%26itm%3D274372192580%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3Ddefault%26brand%3DRemco&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850

Hello: Thanks for the info and interest. That's it. Not surprised this is a imaginary buggy, it has a cartoon quality to it. I have a few vw buggies built and often search for dune buggy on ebay and these have never come up before so I try again after seeing your responses searching for Bo Weevil and there it is a brand new unbuilt Bo Weevil. I hit buy it now and both are on there way. I will post some kit pictures after they arrive Here is another pic from ebay listing Merk

Hello: Just bought this buggy off Ebay. Never seen this kit before. It has a Corvair engine. Any info? Most buggy kits I've seen are copies of real buggy's. Anyone see this in 1:1 Feel free to discus any buggy interests. Thanks Merk

Hello: Super Nice Work. The proportions are perfect. I'm going to use your inspiration and get to work on some of my own stuff. Thanks for posting. Merk

I used to only buy models manufactured in the USA and then only from local privately owned hobby shops that provide birth control for their employees. But It has come to my attention that the manufacture and construction of model cars is harmful to the environment and I no longer can in good conscience build another model. I beg you all Please stop buying and building models. No model ever feed a child.

I really enjoyed seeing this one. Thanks, Merk

A few pictures from early in the build. Started with a chunk of maple left over from a guitar build and removed everything but a finned boat. The side trim is .040 plasic gluded on with JB weld then the whole thing is covered with resin. After the resin cures a couple coats of primer sanding between each coat.

Hello

ha ha

Hello:

Hello: From a block of maple to a 50s finned boat. Bodywork is done. Primer is on. I'm leaning towards using the outboard. Boat models are cool. Merk

Added a chopped down radiator shell to the roadster and sprayed some blue on the rail.

Just as I thought, there is more interest in darma than MODEL CAR

A couple of pictures of the 22JR dragster build. The roadster is painted and only needs a few more parts to be done. The rail is now in primer. The frames looked so good I almost skipped the bodies, now I like the bodies on the frames. This is not an exact copy of Tony's cars and I might change the colors and decals a bit. Thanks, Merk
