I've built a lot of models in my lifetime, and this is one of my favorites! It also is one of the most jinxed builds I have ever done! I had to get parts replaced, killed parts, lost parts, messed up paint, wired, unwired, whew! Many thanks to Angela at Moebius once again for keeping me in replacement parts. Also to Lou Dalmaso for the ongoing inspiration and visitation to his Chariot build posts a zillion times, as well as the rest of you who have actually finished one of these! Hats off to Drew for the great figures! Gill at JAI for the photoetch and headlight kit, really nice stuff to work with! Simon Mercs, fellow high school art menace and now inspiration as well! His work is incredible! It's not perfect, but I love it just the same! View on!

That is very impressive!!

Tim,
Thanks for posting pics of the build-up Nice to see someone building kits not just discussing them to death!

Dave

Top Notch Work, my friend!

it takes a brave man to paint the eyes! The "explosives" label is a wonderful touch.

Now see, that wasn't such a chore, now was it?

so what's next?

Very Nice,:thumbsup: you have done a super job, thanks for sharing your work.:wave:

Great job, Tim. I love the little in-jokes: "Bloop On Board" "I'd rather be flying the J-2." Nice touch. :thumbsup:

Sean

OMG That is sweet!!!

Tim that is a most excellent job :thumbsup: and I too love the little in jokes :)

Cheers,

Alec. :wave:

Great　looks！

Splendid. Love the humor.

Fantastic work Tim! I've been reading of your woes during this build with interest and sympathy. You must be deeply satisfied to have such a superb result.

Tim,
One more sign for you

Great Work, there, Tim!

Awesome build! :thumbsup: :wave:

Lou, that's hilarious! Good one!

Thanks for the kind comments guys! Makes me feel like al my hard work was certainly worth it! I love the kit anyways, no matter how much I struggled!


Indeed it was - Your chariot looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Needs several candy wrappers, empty water bottles, dirty socks, and the odd apple core strewn randomly about the floor. Then it would accurately resemble a real American family on their alien planet road trip.
