I've made a start on the Firebird project

step one is some clean up of the large amounts of sag on most of the body panels. I've also started the engine build. yes that's a 1/24 scale Morris mini. i spray painted the transmission in tamiya silver leaf.

I've got this big scale Pontiac Firebird that i've had in storage for a decade. The Body has a big crack across the very weak roof. It looks to have been repaired on the a pillar as well. It looks like the only other casualty was a torsion roll bar is broken. The rest of the kit appears to be there, just very dusty.

Sounds like a good one Rob should I add you to the list?

 

Yes, I have two different Keaton Batmobiles and will build one of them. The second one comes with the removable engine that the Penguin pulled when he booby trapped it in the second movie. The other one is the standard 1989 version.

Still in with the van of Mr. Bad Attitude himself B.A. Baracus! 

'I PITY THA FOOL!!!'

Sign me up with Revell's Magnum PI 308 GTS Ferrari!

I was messing with an old Keaton Batmobile, and picked up a new one from Hobby Lobby. I think I might join this one with the new Batmobile.

Purcilla says I'm in with 1/12 Tamiya YZR500 - Kenny Roberts 1980 world champion.  I'll commit to the bike, may do Kenny as he comes with the kit.

I have a bunch of stuff to build from the 80s so I'd better figure where I'm going to start first.
