SPA Modeler

Now that it's February, here is my first effort to becoming a "made" man in "La Familia"

I'm building the old Monogram Packard Phaeton I won in the raffle at the last IPMS meeting.

First, we primed the body in preparation for the color coat:





This one will be green, but a more vibrant green than all these other military vehicles. While that was drying, we started the engine, getting it assembled completely:








Next, the chassis was assembled and then the engine was added to stabilize the fragile construction. The rear disk brakes were added to check for potential floating wheels:

What!?! It’s not done yet?

That is going together nicely, Mark.

LOL! Of course it is! I just didn't want to show everyone else up!

Thanks Lyle! Stay tuned...

I think Mark should build, oh say, 50-75 in six months? What do you think, Don Stik?

Nice progress Duke. What color this baby gonna bee?

Very cool!

Great stuff Mark!

Since he does the work of ten modelers, let’s make it twenty

The decree has been issued!

Stuart, thank you.

Cbaltrin, this is going to be Beret Green from the Testor's square bottle.

If I'm to build 20 models; somebody better supply them because almost all my Monogram models are already built. I only happened to get this one in a raffle!
