You use all your spare model parts to build a model without buying anything.

Man, I haven't done anything like that since waaaaaaaaayyyyy back in my first modeling life.... around 1962 or '63... Used to do it when I didn't have any $$$ to buy a new kit and would scrounge thru my parts box to try to get enough parts to build something...

Wow... I sure as hell have several boxes of parts after being back into the hobby for 20 years... Hmmmm... Sounds like an interesting challenge... As soon as I actually FINISH some of the projects that I've ALREADY started.

Lane, when I found this thread I thought someone had finally taken me up on the idea of building the best SCRAPPLE sandwich this side of the Mississippi, and then I realized that you are wanting to extend a definition of what scrapple is into model building, which is gutsy and brave, and it does sound like a great challenge.

So, it's a vehicle cobbled together using whatever parts you have at your disposal? Sounds to me like you are longing to play Dr. Frankensthtein!

LOL, I like it.

Now that sounds cool. I think I got plenty of parts that I could muster up. For a build like that. Harry that truck looks like Crankys kinda model.lol :). It's got all the weathering he loves to see in a model pluse he can eat it.

What I'd like to know is, just what is, or are, sandwitches? Are they a group of female Harry Potter fans, who gather annually, to worship & pray to Lord Harry, on their local beach??

I've never built a sand witch before. Maybe Moebius or Polar Lights will come out with one later in the year. It could go with an Elvira figure.

I Don't think this applies to modeling, more to eating, but being a Native of Lancaster County and consumed Scrapple I have never heard of a scrapple sandwich, at home we put pancake syrup on it before eating it an down in Philly they put Ketchup on it, as for using it for modeling, after a day or two exposed to the air it would be difficult to get close to it to see the detail work. Best regards to all you scrapple lovers.

i was going to post that scrapple is nothing compare the the balkenbrij i grew up on

(basically anything that isnt good enough to be put in a hotdog mixed with flour and baked into a loaf, then panfried and eaten on toast)

but a quick google search has shown me that scrapple is just what you americans call balkenbrij

Scrapple.............yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Back on topic, here's one for inspiration. This was built from the spares box, with a few scratch built parts. It's a dry lakes car from the '40's. Tonneau cover is masking tape.

Very nice spares build. Impressive.

And a resounding 'Yes,' to the earlier suggestions of a CBP.

I live just west of Philly-Town, so I've been a scrapple fan my whole life. Personally, I just eat it straight - sliced thick and pan fried to a crispy brown but still soft and tender inside. I've tried it with ketchup, but I like it better without. Funny, because I'm one of those guys who "likes some french fries with my ketchup"! It's also good on rye toast with a couple of fried eggs. :)

Heck yeah! A full-on monster mash-up sounds like a great CBP idea! :D
