Ok, you actually knew this one without cheating? That's pretty amazing.

Charlize. Yep, that's her.

I don't think you'll ever get this one without doing a reverse image search...

And this one?

Geez, you're pretty good at this. Are you looking them up or do you really know who they are?

And this one?

This one?

How about this one?

^ Wow! She was pretty hot in her day.

Isn't it also missing half the taillights?

The original MPC went out of business a long time ago. Kits you see on the shelves today with the MPC logo are reissues of ancient tooling, so buyer beware.

$160.

Pretty impressive, but the folded top and boot look too tall to be in scale. Other than that, very impressive model.

Wow! I even see door latch detail! Beautiful work!

Does the hood open? Is there an engine?

The "Chrysler 300" scripts on the rear fenders are painted body color. They should b chrome.

Pretty much any Led Zeppelin album is full of reinterpreted songs... other people's songs!

Momogram 1/8 scale Jaguar XKE. I got it as a Christmas gift when I was a kid... my dad and I built it (ok, mostly my dad!)... great memories and a fantastic kit.

Let's not drag their personal lives into this...

I like it! Beautiful color, great detail, nice clean work. I'm also not a fan of those wheels, but geez... you did such a nice job on this, the wheels don't even matter. Beautiful! PS: heater hoses are way out of scale. They're bigger than the coolant hose; they should be about half that size or less.

Yeah, dead guys aren't exactly the best builders. They pretty much just lay around the job site...

However... I made a big mistake by installing the window frames so soon. The way the kit is engineered, you have to build the floor and the benches, than add the end walls to that assembly, then add the outer "skins" of the passenger compartment sides. As you can see in the photo in the last post above, the corners of the cabin walls have those mortise-and-tenon type joints. In most cases these joints are hidden by clever engineering, bit in the case of the main cabin walls, those joints are visible when the walls are installed. They have to be filed in with Bondo, then smoothed out, to hide the mortises and tenons. What makes this sort of tricky is the fact that when you get to this point, the interior is already finished, and the glass on the end walls already installed. So I have to be careful when doing the Bondo and sanding everything smooth, I don't get too much dust and junk in the interior. Also... I shouldn't have installed the window frames yet. You can see that I have to fill in the corner joints of the walls and sand them smooth while not scratching or sanding the window frames. It would have been easier if at this point the frames weren't already installed, but oh well...
