Finished Lil' Coffin

[Koellefornia Kid]

Super nice build, Mike!

[Bernard Kron]

Monogram has always stood out as the premier plastic model kit maker when it came to documenting the Golden Age of Hot Rodding. The 'Lil Coffin, as awkward as it is to build, when done to this level, demonstrates how faithfully their designers could reproduce these iconic cars in scale. Beautiful model. Congrats!

On a side note, this is such a fabulous Parts Kit that I've never actually had one stay intact long enough to consider a straight kit build. But this is one kit that deserves it, as your version so clearly shows.

Thank You very much and I agree with the cool parts , they are just hard to make come together in the kit build.

That turned out really nice! Haven't seen this kit built very often. Like Bernard said, probably most of these kits end up being used for parts. Your build shows that with some patience and skill it turns out into a very nice model. Excellent work! Seeing this made me really want to build one. Maybe some day...

Thanks so much. I just had to build it because I did years ago.

Thanks, Mike
