Nice try Ski... has to be an unstarted kit... so you have to pull out a new kit and get rolling... I know you have kits on your shelf from when I was there that will qualify with wheels... ha, ha, ha!!! The AB figs aren't started, not yet, after the Arnhem figs, they're in the "Q". But, I still can't see them guys with roller blades, I'll have to take a pass, lol. I'm kinda stuck in a figure mod right now. |

Nice choices Jim and they are out of your norm. I intend to follow along.
BTW, HO scale is 1/87th. Just a wee bit smaller than the 1/72 you are building in. Your control tower will be just a bit littler in 1/72 scale but probably should be fairly realistic for a small town airport.

Thanks Jim
Yeah I knew the "box" scales were different, but as you can see the size of the dudes matched up, so it'll be close enough.
The building might get made a little bigger anyway.

The 41 Lincoln, Ebay, Glue Bomb has been stored in that kit box, so might as well build it too, right.

I'll jump in with a solid maybe. I have a few ideas floating around in my head. Not sure which direction to go in. Three different roads. In alphabetical order.
Modified pulling tractor (the multi engine ones)
Motorcycle (homage build)
Race car (sponsored by the Coke decals Joe is sending).
Does one of these pique anyone's interest?
Being I can't paint yet it's still up in the air. I had hoped to get the wood I need for the spray booth box this weekend but the snow we got put me behind in other stuff and the wood is at a friends house, snowed in. And one of my 1 to 1 cars needs to go in the shop for what was diagnosed as a bad crank sensor.

Being Joe was kind enough to include a little extra in the decals he sent me I do have something I can build that falls with-in the parameters of his Goodbye 2020 proposal. Gotta round a few things up and be ready for January 1.

The two cases of Coke bottles at the top of the pic are the extras Joe was kind enough to include. Going by his original post I plan to build these. Closest I can come to roller skates or a skateboard. These are from the Meister Brau pulling tractor kit.  |
