I said I wasn't going to buy anymore kits, and have done well for 3 months, but couldn't resist the 1/16 VW van.

Arrived over the last few days to fill more show rod voids. A bit wacky but they are what they are. 

[TonyK]

Yes, those are wacky but I can see you having some fun building something different from the norm.

First wave of NuNu M4s has arrived...

[PatW]

Another classic rally car!

 

 

Against the real new version seen just a few hundred yards from where I'm sitting.

 

Or the new Renault Five EV also by Alpine, in the same driveway!

Looks really good, Dave. Our state's team are the Ravens, but I think I'd rather pay homage to our old team the Baltimore Colts. Thanks for sharing your cool build. I like the mascot, nice touch.

Hey, it works. I thought maybe it was something you had made out of clay and painted.

Well...not a model kit but a tool that can be used for plastic as well as metal...Bender-Brake-shear tool.  I've been wrestling with buying this for a long time and just figure...screw it!

The most recent kit I got was Tamiya's Datsun 240Z that will be built as the American version...

Nice! You only go around once, and you can never have too many tools!

That's a neat looking machine. How big (small?) is it?

[johnyrotten]

My wife found these for me on marketplace. Still sealed. The Chevelle is the first model I ever built as a kid. I hope the t-bird is not ruined.
