traditional Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 My wife and I have been packing and arranging for a 'downsize move' and with all the packing of my toy and model rooms (2), I've finally been able to, again, get my hands on a few old models that were in cases, but in areas that were difficult to access. The models are all large size.....a Monogram 1/8 scale Jaguar E-type, A Monogram 1/8 scale '65 Corvette Stingray, and a Renwall 1/4 scale 'Visible Chassis'. These models were all painted and built around 4 decades ago, and relatively inaccessible for about 20 years, but I've now been able to digitally photograph them. Enjoy! 3 1
Snake45 Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Beautiful, all three of them! Congratulations on building them so well and keeping them in such great shape all these years. Well done and model on!
espo Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 They are all beautifully done and you are lucky they survived the move so well. Like you we are unpacking from a move that also was to downsize. I have my fingers crossed for the condition of some of mine.
1972coronet Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 !!! WOW !!! Those appear as though you just completed them yesterday ! While each one is splendid in their own right , it's that quarter-scale chassis that's the most outstanding .
Gramps46 Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Outstanding survivors. I hope you can find a place to display them in your new home. Thanks for sharing them with us.
1959scudetto Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Excellent models, Clifford - hard to believe that you built them 40 years ago....
plasticprime Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Absolutely gorgeous stuff! I especially like the Jag, but all 3 are top-notch craftsmanship! (And 2 rooms? Your wife must be a saint.)
Maindrian Pace Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Possibly the nicest builds I've seen on all three kits, not very surprising considering the builder.
Sam I Am Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 The Jag and 'Vette are my favorite. Maybe because I have both in the stash. I surely do hope mine come out half as good as your beauties.
Smitty Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 I've known about these kits for some time but I can't recall seeing them built up before. These are all beautifully finished and assembled. The Jag and the Corvette really do look like real cars-just awesome. I bet it's good to have them out for you to enjoy again. I definitely enjoyed seeing your photos! Thanks for posting them Cliff.
PappyD340 Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 WOW, looks like they were just completed yesterday, well done!
89AKurt Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Beautiful! Hope you will be able to display in your new home, shame to not see them at all.
Kah puts Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Absolutely stunning. You must have quite the collection to not even look at those in 20 years. That Jag is brilliant. Good luck with the move.
