Ritchie tells McNally that he had received a phone call demanding $20,000,000 for the coin collection and then he suffered chest pains followed by the heart attack. McNally says he'll check the phone for a call back number and anything else he cane find. The Build I finally got around to repainting the hood again. Looks much better! McNally will return...

Nice. Why are you posting your build on my WIP thread?

The Story McNally leaves Westby Hospital and hails a cab who'll drive him out to the farm in Alston-at-Harkness. At the farm, he pays the cabbie with a decent tip and them he pulls his luggage along with his large Army bag slung over his shoulder on the dirt driveway which is rutted with rocks and holes, some holes filled with muddy water. He reaches the farm house which is dark and he finds the front door key hidden inside a rock outside the front door, which was unlocked anyway. He opens the door, turns on the lights and steps inside the old house and he finds the keys for the Land Rover hanging on a hook with a couple of jackets and a hat next to them on a wall rack. The house is as he expected it to be, lived in with a newspaper next to a chair in the living room, a couple of dirty dishes in the sink in the kitchen and a light coating of dust on the furniture. Tomorrow, he'll meet up with the field managers and discuss where they are at with the harvest in their fields and see what they need for equipment and supplies. He goes outside and finds the Land Rover Series III LWB parked next to the side of the house and it is unlocked and he locks the doors on the SUV and the barn as well. The Build After staring at the engine last night, I didn't like the color of the engine. I repainted it this morning with Model Master Gunmetal Metalizer and the fan got a coating of Model Master Daytona Yellow. McNally will return...

The Story McNally gets off the plane in Liverpool and he catches a cab to Westby Hospital to visit with Angus. Angus is happy to see him and he tell McNally where everything is at the farm, including the keys to the Land Rover Series III LWB which is parked on the side of the house. McNally tells Angus that he will do his best with the harvest and for him to not to worry about anything and to get better. Angus tell him that he glad that McNally made the trip across the pond and he will try to get better. Then a nurse comes into the room and throws McNally out. The Build The 2.6 L straight six engine is nearing completion. I have wired it, but in the process, I destroyed the distributor, sending me looking for another distributor cap which I found in the parts box. McNally will return...

I always make it a practice to read the instructions prior to assembly. That way, I can figure out different ways to assemble the model if needed. I don't always catch an issue with assembly, but I do try to make it worth my time to read the instructions prior.

We all make mistakes and find ways to correct them. This is one of them and I am sure we can and will find others on other kits as well.

Thank you, Carl!

Thank you, Carl and Cliff!

The grille and the taillights came with the car. This is a die-cast model that is no longer made. It is 1/24 scale.

This is my 2011 Crown Vic Police Interceptor rebuilt as a reclaimed passenger car for the public. It is painted with Testors One Coat Lacquer Icy Blue with most of the Police Equipment removed. A center console from a Revell 1990 Mustang LX was added.

The Story "You had Ronny killed," asks Zachy? "Yep. He owed me money and he started to fight me because he was late with a payment and I took him out. Now, his business is mine!" Suddenly, cops and detectives come out of hiding and they arrest Jackie and Zachy. Zachy will be released away from Jackie without charges. The evidence was good and the District Attorney was happy with the result. After spending the rest of the night at Boston Police Headquarters, McNally takes Zachy and drops him off at home. In the morning, he stops at the home of Constance Bisson and he tells her what was accomplished and that Jackie Koepka will be in jail. Another case closed. The Build I have finished my rebuild of the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed and commented on my WIP.

I have finished my Vega$ '57 T-Bird and it is posted in Under Glass-Model Cars. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

Thank you, Gareth, R. Scott and David! Sometimes, it's the little details that make a big difference!

Thanks guys! I thought the details and moldings were a little soft. Attachment points are not there. I'm not really a fan of these old kits that everyone says are really great!

Thank you, David!

The Story McNally leaves Jackie's "home" and he comes up with a way to draw Jackie and company out into the open. McNally suspects Jackie had Ronny killed and he was trying to muscle his way into Ronny's successful business. Now to pull him out. He calls his Confidential Informant Zachy and he asks if Zachy would be willing to set himself up as an informant and Zachy replies that he is willing just as long as McNally can guarantee his safety. McNally replies that he can and he wants Zachy to approach Jackie out at Ronny's business and offer him some info against Ronny and McNally. Zachy waits in the shadows of Bisson Automotive for Jackie to show. It's 11:00 PM and Jackie arrives in his Lincoln Mark III and he gets out if the Mark III and he sees Zachy standing by the side of the garage and he walks over to him. "You Zachy?" "Yep! Thanks for meeting me. You looking to take out McNally and take over this business?" "Ya. I'll give you $200 for that info," replies Jackie. "Ronny didn't have a will, so taking over his business will be easy. His lawyer is Jacob Durgen. If you talk with him, he'll put you into a will for Ronny." "What about McNally?" "Kill him and everything he is investigating, goes away." "Even the death of Ronny Bisson?" "Yep!" "Good. My taking him out is advantage for me!" The Build Detailing is complete and some assembly has been finished. McNally will return...
