The instructions say 1.5 hours to build it… I’m skeptical. I’m not sure what the plastic is actually. I do want to paint it a single colour to give it a more finished look. The “real” ones appear to be almost the same colour as the plastic, a pale yellow. It’s something completely different! I think it’s been in my stash for about 10 years. A pressie from my brother in law. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm not sure exactly where to put this, but I suppose it's a vehicle of sorts. I got this from SWMBO for my Christmas. It's a working model of a Dutch wind-powered walking machine: It's made by Gakken, who used to do a nice line in large scale car kits, and is available attached to a magazine in Japan. There's a bit about the kit and the real thing in this link: https://youtu.be/0JnTThZMJAg I'm not sure when I'll get this started, so this post is a place-holder for now. I doubt I'll be able to resist for long though... John
