I've got a full detail Chrysler Turbine Car kit I plan on building one day but I recently came across these promos : www.ebay.com/itm/126361189501A NEW promo for $75 was to good to pass up so I bought one . Yes the seller is new and had a zero next to his name but we all had to start some where . Here's what I received . The box shows some wear but the promo is new and beautiful ! If you've ever wanted one but the prices were to high this might be your chance .

Nicely done on an iconic kit! I have the MPC kit to build with no blue lines, ha, ha!!! Thanks Joe ! All these years I never bought one but seeing those blue lines in the new reissue sold me !

I liked this back in the day & I like it now! I really like the extra effort to improve this kit, I think Dean Jeffries would be proud. Nice job Bob! Hizoot Thanks much !

To say that you created a jewel out of a so-so kit is an understatement . . . excellent Bathtub Buggy ! I confess I had one of these kits that sat for many many years because I just couldn't see any use in building it . . . boy was I wrong !!!

Nicely done Pat ! Don't be too hard on yourself , these kits just don't look like their box art when finished . Good luck with your move !

OMG Becky this sets a new standard on so many levels. Heap on superlatives here because I am thoroughly enjoying looking at this one. Please tell us how you did the front and back logos and where did you get the instruments? Thanks very much Dave ! Those logos are decals I printed from images found on line , the nameplates and stars on the roof are also decals . I know nothing about drums so I looked at dozens of images on line and scratch built them using sheet plastic rolled to different diameters . I found some glittery paper to glue onto them then added other details and printed decals for the logos , they really aren't very accurate but look good at this small scale .

Finished this one back in November , it's my version of the Tom Daniel Honest Engine . I always wanted to build one like this and really enjoyed it ! It's built right out of the box with only a few modifications as follows : 1 – Relocated the headlight to allow adding the record label . 2 – Added two flags to the front . 3 – Added a small chain to the whistle . 4 – Opened the coal tender so I could add the instruments . 5 – Mounted a custom bass drum skin in place of the parachute . It's painted in a Red-White & Blue theme using Tamiya rattle cans . I used gold foil from a Revell Lunar Module kit and printed some custom decals for the stars , nameplates , woodgrain , and Grand Funk goodies . The drum kit was made from scratch using sheet plastic and coated wire for the stands . I was also making some guitars and mics until I realized it was getting too crowded in that tiny car ! The Honest Engine was issued only once back in 1971 so it's become pretty rare and if you do find one it's going to be very pricey , wouldn't it be cool if Atlantis had the molds and reissued it ! I know they've had a few requests . . . fingers crossed . Thanks for looking , I hope you like it !

Great job so far Pat , looking forward to seeing more ! I've got this and two other similar resins from Testors but haven't built any of them , can't remember ever seeing any built either . . . you'll be the first !!

I've scraped the paint off the front-emblem now, to let the BMF shine - and it does!!!! Beautiful paint and that emblem is really sharp ! Great work Darryl !

Navy Blue and Sand will look awesome on the Beer Wagon ! Those decals look really nice too ! Did you have to supply the artwork or did they do everything for you ?

Just watched all thee videos and he's doing some fantastic work ! While I can't come close to that level of detailing there's still a ton of information there about the Dragula that would help with any build . Thanks for posting !

I don't know Bob your at it again! Superb everything! Is it a recent Flintstone bodyshell? It's OK I've seen one on their website, I just need the chrome grill. What I'll have to do is buy another Glitter Bug to get the base! Thanks much Pat ! Yep it's still available from JF .
