No problem, young Padawan...would you like for me to send you a full color, pictorial illustration and tutorial on how it's done?

You know I'm only here to help you.

No pics yet from me, either...you also know that anything I'm thinking of building is still wrapped tightly in cellophane!

[Simon]

Though I'm suddenly feeling a lot less confident after seeing the start you have made on that T-bird, Kevin Looking good already. Hmmm, I need to find a suitable candidate amongst my stash...

yes it is my friend

[raisin27]

[Dr. Cranky]

I wonder if my Gypsy Rose, camp mule, would qualify?

There are more pictures of this beauty in my Fotki. Enjoy.

[Olle F]

I guess already finished builds don't qualify, but I sure enjoy building beaters...

[Raul_Perez]

Well, if Michael, Virgil and Olle are in on this one then we'd better put on our "game faces" because these guys definitely know how to build junkers!!

[Olle F]

Thanks, but if you look at how long it takes me to even build a box stock model, you have nothing to fear. Anyone in for a 4-year build-off?

[modeler]

im in

I hear you there...I'm not big on building within time limits either. Would if I could, but I'm content just to share a few done 'beaters.' It's obvious I like 'em dirty too.

Three of the above models are slated to be part of a junkyard scene on my buddy's G-gauge railroad layout, and the Charger will likely make a 'guest appearance' as well.

They certainly do - they must have worked for British Leyland

Kevin, just so I'm sure what I'm doing and that I enter into the spirit of this properly, can I ask - do the builds need to be from a 100% new-in-box unstarted kit, or could I make something out of a broken older build? I recently got a few of my teenage builds out of my parents' attic, and there's a disassembled '69 442 in there crying out to be 'junked'. Then again, I've got my eye on something on Ebay too....

[Spike]

well there goes my idea. i was gonna build a replica of the joe dirt car too lol. i didnt think its been done yet
