My latest one of these is a rescue. The original owner was unknown to plastic modeling because he/she hand painted all of the underside parts whilst on the sprues and then tried to glue them onto the chassis. The problem was that all of the parts surfaces were painted so no bare plastic left to glue together. In that attempt quite a few pieces were broken.
I then had to cobble together the chassis, steering, hubs, front & rear suspension, driveshafts etc. Luckily enough none of the body, interior, glass or decals were damaged.
With a few of my previous Scooby builds..........
And the 7Up car with mainly home printed decals..........................
This will be my last build for a while and my wife and I after 52 years married are selling our split level house and moving to a 'future proof' bungalow one floor living!
We might both be 70+ and fit we don't know what may be ahead healthwise.
My next major problem is packing and transporting 300+ builds!
