Fifer Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Hello everyone, I am new here and do not have the talent of most here but here is the current progress of my Little Red Wagon . Thanks , Mike
Crazy Ed Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Welcome aboard Mike. And you've no reason to downplay yourself. From the Pic's I'd say your no slouch at painting or building.
Fifer Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks so much Ed. I am 64 years old and started plastic with my dad at age 4. My wife and I now own an online N Scale train shop but have recently started to do some models again .Thanks , Mike
AC Norton Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 gee, I don't see a talent issue there....so far all looks pretty crisp to me....that will be killer once finished, Mike.....best, the Ace...
Fifer Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks a bunch ACE, I am sure having fun with the diversion.Mike
gtx6970 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 So far so good. Not exactly the easiest kit to build. I built one maybe 10 years ago and want to do another someday to replicate the very 1st incarnation of the truck .
AC Norton Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks a bunch ACE, I am sure having fun with the diversion. Mike .....and Mike, that's the whole point of it all...to have FUN and enjoy the trip. the fun sometimes gets lost in the shuffle when a project becomes tedious or very difficult. I built the LRW about 15 years ago, right out of box with little in extras and it was a quick, fun build, and at one point, may build another with more detail....it's a neat kit......best, the Ace....
Fifer Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Looking good and welcome to the siteThanks so much Dodge.Mike

I built one maybe 10 years ago and want to do another someday to replicate the very 1st incarnation of the truck . That would be cool and I had thought the same thing but I have no way to make decals. Thanks , Mike

Fifer Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Man , Thanks to all of you. I am not getting notices.Mike
iBorg Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Mike for a "slacker" that is probably the best build of that motor I've seen. It is not an easy engine to get to look real. Your does a very good job at that.
