This is my collection of MPC’s monster rods.

My favorite is the Night Crawler. I got this kit off ebay described as complete but it was missing a lot of parts. Luckily it has a lot in common with the Outcast and I was able to complete it. I had a lot of trouble with the front axle. It is really weak and the wheels align at a camber.

The Creepy T is also fun. I scratch built the headers from aluminum tube because the ones that came with the kit were terrible. The rear tires are made of plastic.

The Mummy Machine needs some work and I got lazy on this one.

I tended to avoid those kits as a kid because mine never looked anything like the artwork on the box. Thanks for sharing.

Luca, your builds always amaze me, but to top it off your ability to figure paint may ever surpass your techno building skills! These are all great renditions of the box art. Like HTBomb said, I tend to avoid kits like these myself. Very nice work on all three models!

I'd agree the Night Crawler is my favorite too. Gerry G
