Andy J Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 And now for something completely different....for me anyway 🙂. I decided to add a bit of variation to my stash and the kits below caught my eye as soon as I stumbled across them. Not my usual era but I look forward to building these in the future 👍 Hmm I'm quite excited about tackling these kits 🙂😉👍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I like the Duesenberg Boattail 🤩 But @Andy J I thought the plan was to build a 1/12 model and then a 1/24 and again 1/12.... ...and now 1/16?? Marco F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco F Good point Marco and that was the plan originally however I've recently discovered a whole new world of 1/16 kits so I guess I'll have to adjust my schedule slightly 🙂. What a great problem to have......what scale do I build next 🤔....I wish all problems were so exciting 😅 🙃 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) On 01/08/2021 at 12:28, Andy J said: Hmm I'm quite excited about tackling these kits 🙂😉👍 Watch out for body warping on the Royale - the centre pillar and around the rear wheelarches are also very prone to cracking, which can all make it a pain to get the opening doors lined up. There were also some other fit issues getting the body to sit in the correct place on the chassis that I found when I built one of these about fifteen years ago. However, the end result will be worth it!! Edited August 3, 2021 by Paul H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbostream Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Had the opportunity to buy that 1/8 Corvette for peanuts about 10 years ago but didn't because I wasn't into big scale kits at the time. Wish I could go back in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
