Here are the Mongoose tins and the extra set of starter tree decals. Bob

I started this and the Mongoose digger early last year [funny saying that]. I forget who i got the decals from but it was a vendor here. Dug it out las week to install the barrel valve and get cracking on the fuel pump. Got the motors hoses done but I cannot locate the pump. I may have to make another.Plumbed the brakes and got a few other things done. Whoever made the decals did a nice job as they are spot on. The starter tree decals are especially nice. The ones in the box would have you paint the tree a dark color which is not correct. I have another correct set from the Mongoose sheet. If anyone needs them i can send them along free of charge. Motor is shaping up I'm thinking a starting line diorama since the elements are just about all here. Perhaps some other goodies from SMBC to set the whole thing off. Thanks for looking. Updates as i get things done Bob

I almost forgot this car. Tried my hand at semi pro touring. A semi OK kit that lends itself to styling cues if you don't go overboard. A digital dash is in there somewhere. And disks at all 4 corners. Lowered a tad and brought the black hood to the nose. Gunmetal accents tie it together. Yes, another MOPAR. Bob

Never knew about the AMC being molded. That is a fine looking ride. Great work on all those cars. Bob

A great start indeed. Love the barrel valve and supply manifolds. Gonna be a good one. Bob

This is my current WIP if you like since I have so many. It's what's on the bench at the moment. What I call a quick build. Box stock but heavy on paint details. Bob This camera is just killer and I'm really stoked.

Very good Bill. I'll look at their offerings soon. Thank you. Happy New Year all!!!! Bob

Got some things done and pics up. Glad to see I'm not alone going for it. Harry.................... Aaawwwfuggedabouddit. B

Yeah, go figure, not a Ford or Chevy in the bunch. I do have blue oval and GM in the works this year however. But looking at the stash it's probably going to be Funny Cars and Diggers mostly this coming year.With perhaps a Chrysler Turbine thrown in for good measure. Not a bad trade off if i do say so. Bob

Killer Mr Geary..... Now to take mine on this very year. Question of course. What color did you end up using? I don't have an airbrush and I see a few I am tossing about. Your input would prove invaluable sir. Bob

Buncha lookers there. Bob

Those are fantastic. I agree about the cougar. Who doesn't love a cougar??? LOL Bob

That would be accurate sir. Bob I would have taken a front shot but the bumper was off when I turned it around. I'll get it back on eventually.

Lotsa lead in those there sleds. Nice all. Bob

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Bob

My camera crapped out in September and i really hadn't done much before that since summer usually sees no bench time. Amazon had a year end sale so i got a killer deal on a decent camera so I'm getting in just in time for the year end build posts that inevitably show up. First: The bench has morphed since that last time I took a pic for Saturday morning workbench. Just Pix, no explanations

Been at it all day today. I have several builds completed to post as well. My camera passed away back September and I just got one from Amazon's year end sale today. My hope is to post some finished builds before midnight. Bob

DPNM [Jim Sullivan] is another great trader. Superb kit and quickly sent to boot. Good on ya Jim. Bob

Cape Town eh? I have wanted to go on a white pointer tour for may years now but Cape Town seems like a world away. A cage dive would let me die in peace. Welcome to the forum Bob

They look like you might still smell drying solvents that's how fresh those two look. Outstanding both! Bob

I love the work, but one thing bothered me a bit. This statement: "I’m not saying he was crazy, but it just seems that way." WTH does that mean? Why would someone who makes things in miniature conjure such a thought or mental condition? Such an ideal reflects on us all here who craft things on a scale smaller than 1:1. Just a thought. Bob

That is a stellar build right there! That paint is very well done. Bob

About 1976 I got a big scale Lola Ford. Not sure whatever happened to it. I know it was too much for me at the time. Bob
