Week #48-Atomicholiday (Jeremy's) Revell Model A

[406 Silverado]

When Jeremy posted this up back in September, I couldn't help but think that it would make a good photo for the banner image. These kits have caught my eye more than once since they've been released and it's builds like this that make me want ot go out and grab one like NOW. Great color choice and detailing make for one good build of this model. Very well done Jeremy and am happy to put this up high for all to see.

Great looking roadster! 406 Silverado You were right that it looks good as the banner!

Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate all your comments.

This build was my return to the hobby after an eight year break. It was done before I had cleaned my bench off, so I literally put it together on top of a pile of clutter with no space to work. It's all box stock with the only modification being a slightly lowered front end.

Most importantly, it re-fueled my fire for the hobby. 
Thank you all!

Heya bud. You did all the work to make this the beauty that it is. I will say that I'm surprised that you put this together in the clutter that you mentioned. From the way it looks it went together in a surgically clean work place.

You gotta love a well made, masterful old Roadster! Way to go man!

Man, it was bad.  Think of the most uninviting, uninspiring bench you've seen and you've got a pretty good idea.  It's a miracle that nothing got lost, let alone that it got finished.  Stuff was piled a foot deep.  Just crap left over from old home projects, old model and guitar magazines, product manuals... you name it.
After the '29 Ford build, it really re-lit the fire to get serious with this hobby again.  So the next time I got time off work, I tore into it and got everything cleaned off and all my tools and paints better organized.  Even did a little decorating.  Now I absolutely love spending time at the bench.  No clutter!  It's probably my favorite place to be when I'm at home.

Anyway, thanks again for all the positive feedback gentlemen.  I appreciate it more than you know, and I'm honored to have this build showcased along-side some of the best built models I've ever seen.

Happy New Year guys!!

Sounds like when I got back into the hobby in 2010. I had a teeny little computer desk that belonged to my then 5 year old son that I was using. In 2011 I had a little bit bigger desk and it kept incrementing to what I have now through the years. I don't get as much bench time as I'd like but I have a LOT of fun here on the forum and learn alot from every member contributing here. It was our pleasure to showcase your build bud. Job well done.

Happy New Year to you as well.

Great build, love the colour, well done.

It's a super kit, builds just fine but scope to take it in many directions.
