Lucius you remind me of myself in that I will build almost anything.

Well done.

Yup, I I built one of those when I was a kid too.  Wish I had one now.

Cool model.  Thanks for sharing!

Nice (trip down the memory lane).

I also built one of those as  a kid.  I remember applying stickers (not decals) to it, and the blank message sheets where I used to create the messages by filling the dots with black and colored markers.  Fun stuff.  I also remember the noisy mechanism.

These probably fetch some money on eBay nowadays.

It is very loud and the ability to make custom messages was cool!
