    I was gonna start the ‘49 Ford today, but Michael’s had none of the paint I needed for it!

    :annoyed:

    By the way, I’m not going to be painting it as it appears on the box; I’m going for a “Rat Rod” theme!

    I went a little crazy at Michael’s, but five of these models is still cheaper than one of my LEGO sets!

    The one on the front with the textured bulbs quit working a couple days ago, and it may be a dead battery, but I don’t think it is...

    The reason I bought this Mack firetruck is because my dad bought me a similar one at hobby shop almost 30 years ago and we built it together. The other firetruck required a tiny bit of painting but wasn’t as advanced as the rest of today’s purchases; For example, the ‘41 Chevy, the ‘49 Ford, and the Civic Si are all Skill Level 2...

    The ‘66 Chevy truck, the ‘76 Chevy truck, and the ‘83 Hurst Oldsmobile are all Skill Level 4...

    The Bronco is a staggering Skill Level 5, and I be doing that last since I’ve never built anything higher than a 2 before!

    So yeah, I bought the fire engine for the sole purpose of reliving my childhood!

    The side view mirrors will not stay on, so I think I’m gonna have to glue them even though this is supposed to be a “non-glue” model...

    Last time I attempted one of the model kits was about 13 years ago; It was a 1987 Buick Grand National that I ended up breaking during assembly and throwing out, so to say it didn't go so well was an understatement...
