The Duke's Mafioso Contribution...

[Duke Maddog]

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.

[Duke Maddog]

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?

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

[LyleW]

The decree has been issued!

[Duke Maddog]

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!
