Hehe.

@OldMiner, this was so helpful, unexpected, and very much appreciated. This new guy could not feel more accepted by the generosity and support shown by you and the other gentlemen following this thread. :toast:

Thank you both! I have a vacation day tomorrow. Now I know I can keep going.

Thanks. Well, finding myself a bit stuck. I’m nearly positive that when I first looked at the instructions for this model that I could view all 12 of the graphic instruction pages. The Japanese written instructions are all Greek to me. Anyway, when I look at this link...

The roof has been eating at me, I just could not let it go. I had some time today, printed another sheet and took another shot at shaping it. I took Zathros’ advice and made my own tabs instead of the ones in the template and used these to glue it in after surgically removing the first janky...

Had a little time to work on this today. Folding over and glueing the roof corners did not go great. I rushed it, and it shows. I’m learning. No going back now. I am happy with the boot, mostly. Oh well, the body is done. Not sure when I’ll get some more done. Thanks for following along, fellas.

I remember seeing this on TV when i was a kid, and it was one of my favorites. The cockroaches haunted my dreams for a long time. Haven’t thought about it for years. Now if I wake up from cockroach nightmares, I’ll blame you @Revell-Fan :eek:

Wow.

Certainly no expert. I’ve sometimes wondered too at the reasoning for the bridge of so many Sci- Fi space ships being in a protruding fishbowl on the outer hull. I’d prefer that internal CIC on the New Galactica, or a TARDIS.:skull

I’ll take any constructive criticism you want to give. You won’t hurt my feelings. Just don’t be offended if I don’t go back and try to perfect everything.

Zathros, would you mind elaborating on this or link to a thread so I can get a better understanding of this? Oh, I think I get it. Cut the tabs off then use a small piece of paper to glue the two pieces underneath. In this case, I could have done that to keep the cut edge of the hood from...

As mentioned on my intro thread, I’ve selected what will by my first paper model: Found this on one of the sites that @Revell-Fan linked 1967`s Mini Cooper Monte Carlo Paper Model - by Takayoshi Ichiyama Free Original and Exclusive Paper Models and the Best, Rare and Unusual Free Papercrafts...

Wife is leasing this Forester. Now her second Forester lease. I asked her to get a receiver on this one. I wasn’t specific. They put a 1-1/2” receiver on it. Not sure what I can do with that. But not worried about it for the near future. Like I said, I have use of a sprinter van that is set up...

Funnily enough, our other car is a Subaru Forester. A real tank in the snow. It’s awesome. We got it with a receiver, started looking at trailers last year. Still looking. Will get one eventually. My sister in law has a sprinter van with motorcycle chocks I can use anytime I want. So the...
