after a ten plus year lay off. I thought I had posted this before but while looking back through all the old posts I realized I hadn't. Like I said this was the first model I had built in over ten years and it really got me back into modelling. I built this last July when I decided to get out of slot car racing. It started life as a AMT 34 Ford model. Everything in it is either a kit part or something I built. There are no resin parts in it at all.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Big Mike |

MIKE......... easiest way to "get back in the mood", is just bring the wife's "honey do list" into the "model building area", HOLD THE LIST UP, THEN LOOK AT THE MODEL BOXES, and "decide" WHICH ONE YOU WANNA DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! r:r r:r r:r TECHMAN |
