Monogram Lumina

Having used the majority of the kit to build a Tradesman's Truck last year, leaving the Lumina body, I cobbled this together. I couldn't find No 46 decal set in the UK so I used 'stickers'.

Great work. You have my respect for working with stickers. Have a Mello Yello Lumina on my work bench.

Thanks Gerald, hopefully we will see yours soon.

I see you got her done, Pat. Knowing all you had from the kit was the body makes this an especially great build. I wouldn't have known it if you hadn't told us in the wip. Modeling at its finest is when you don't let a perfectly good body go unused. Bravo.

Thanks Mark. Yes I have built numerous models over many, many years from bits and pieces to achieve a vehicle that I wouldn't have been able to buy, just by using my imagination. Many years ago I built a kit car, having the steel chassis with a glassfibre body already bolted on, and an MOT fail Mk2 Ford Escort van for the parts, it took me three months in a lock up garage, working in the evenings to finish it. At weekends we were delivering our two sons to BMX race meetings all over the country using a VW Beetle with a roof rack! Those were the days!
