"The Mystery Machine", 1:24th ? by Polar Lights

[micahrogers]

Hello again my friends, the next project is a fun one, The Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo.
No scale is stated but it's around 1:24th based on wheel size.

And it comes with pre painted figures for Shaggy, Scooby, and the Creeper.

Okay this was officially my quickest model ever, 2 days total!
Start with whats in the box

Then washed all the parts and let them dry overnight, end day one.
Day 2 starts with apply base colors and sub assemblies,

Then final assembly and apply self adhesive stickers,

.
and front view

and looking in thru the back doors, hey is that the Creeper in there?

finished and one happy wife

I can imagine that this was a fun one! Quick and clean build (however, I noticed some flash around the wheelcases ).

I see a plastic model section coming soon. Why not? (That's a rhetorical question, so don't offer up anything but positive answers!), at least, not in this thread.

Micahrogers, That models looks like a lot of fun! Time to copy and turn it into paper!!

I have ZERO skill with either drawing by hand or on the computer, Occupational Lead exposure has set it with Neuropothy in the fingertips of the left hand and I've been noticing the slow degradation of fine motor skills.

@micahrogers: That is really shocking! I hope that degradation can be slowed down so that you are able to build models for a looong time.

@zathros: If we establish a plastic model section here, I will chop my Revellogram Galactica to pieces and turn it into something that could be called a "battlestar"!

I have some really bad Neurological injuries, and the neurapathy is something I try and keep in denial about. I understand completely.

I still have an early eighties boxing of the Monogram Battelstar Galactica in my stash somewhere. What I really want is the Mobieus New BSG Galactica to light up and super detail...

Too bad that you don't live in Germany. Revell of Germany has released the same model here in different packaging and with better decals for a third of the price of the Moebius kits. If you are lucky you can find it for 13 € which is about 18 US-$.

What fun, glad to see this section, mainly i play with trains, it is always fun to see what you can do with a good plastic kit though.

The forum's intention is to reflect the desire of the membership collective. (Sounds like a "Communists":bear: statement) We as Administrators wish to provide a level playing field. Keep out the bullies, interlopers, troublemakers, etc,. and have a peaceful place on the net. Only the members can see that to fruition, and I do believe you all have succeeded. This is a unique forum. The interaction of members, co productions, the sharing, this could not have been created by one individual, like minded people have come together and repopulated this place called Zealot. I (and Rhaven) will strive for as long as we can to take care of those who would wish to disrupt the forum, though in reality, that all seems far behind us. We are not a sister forum to any forum :finger:, we are Zealot. Many people belong to many forums, and that is fine and good. Zealot stands on it's own feet, those of it's membership.
