Paddy Wagon

[KWT]

About 30 years ago, during my first run of modeling, I was mainly a Monogram builder... largely because of subject matter. This is one of kits I built way back when.

It met an untimely demise, like all my models from then did, by falling from the shelf of doom... I salvaged what I could and it has sit completely untouched since... hence 30yrs of dust...

So in recent years, I've went back to purchase some kits from my childhood in hopes to build them mainly like I did back then...

Finished this one up today...

Paint and clear is all Tamiya...

 

Finally assembled my first kit of the year...

I don't remember this one being such a PITA though lol... Oh well, it's done. Maybe that'll put things back in motion.

As always, thanks for looking... on to the next...

Great build on a cool vehicle! I too came back to building models recently, and enjoy it as a way to reminisce.

[Yeah Nah]

Nice comeback Jeremy! Looks great.

I have always liked the Paddy Wagon, to me it was a believable design.  I’m also a sucker for C-cabs.  You’ve done a fine job on this second kit!  Thanks for sharing!

[KWT]

Thank you all! Very much appreciated.

Cool build!

Nice work. It's cool to see these Tom Daniels kits built. I didn't care for some of them, but this was one of my favourites.

Looks good! I built one back in the '80s. It too fell and hit the ground. I have a fresh one in the stash to build one day.

Right on Jeremy.  Seen this kit built many times but I can’t say I’ve seen a better looking one.

Cool paddy wagon there Jeremy. I thought the first one looked good until I saw the current build, really well done. 

Cheers,

Thank you all! It's very much appreciated!

If anybody wants to build one of these, I do suggest an older release if you can find one. There's quite a bit of rework needed on this one to make things "work"

[Flatout]

Nice work on an old favorite!

[Rattlecan Dan]
