Monogram Beer Wagon Complete

Build and story here - modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/15995/monogram-beer-wagon?page=1


This was a total blast from the past tp build and even though it is obviously 1960s mold tech and has probably made millions of copies over the decades it still builds up beautifully. The only "issue" with the whole thing was the huge sink holes in the beer keg fuel tanks. I will just pretend those are dents.


Out of the box just like when I built it when I was 9! Only this time it has paint and no big globs of glue.

Very quick,the yellow looks great.

Very nice looking Beer Wagon!

That's hands down the best build I've seen of this kit. I love the idea of taking these old kits and applying modern techniques to them. Great job.

That's two down. 








Now I just need some rereleases of really good luck!

So many cool elements to this build. Nicely done.

Well done T! I'll take a keg of pilsner and maybe a Guinness. Oh, and a pizza if you can manage.

Very cool vintage build! I like the detail on the beer stein shifter handle!

The Badman has been recently released with American flag graphics,  so it can be built.   Problem is finding decals.   I've been looking but can't find good ones.

Looks good, Tcoat! I love the old novelty models as well. I have recently built the old Hawk kits "Digger" and "Beach Bunny Catchin' Rays" which were a lot of fun and a good break from the classic model car.

Hey T - this kit (which is available) is the same as Badman (minus the tinited glass) and you can get Badman decals - this is what I have done.

That turned out to be a great looking build up Tony. I've had a little fun with some of these older kits like this from time to time as well and, like you said, is a trip down memory lane every time.

Killer result!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any other steals on Tom Daniel kits!! I really enjoyed your build of this one.

[M1Carbine]

T - That is so freaking cool. Looks awesome!

If I can find a good picture of the decal sheet I could make my own. This would be last on my "want" list though since it isn't as goofy as the others. The next one on my active search will be the Red Baron. They rerelease these things often enough it will eventually come back I am sure.

Very nicely done.
Never built this one myself, but I finally have one in the stash if I ever get back to building anything.

This would actually be a good kit to get back into the swing of things. Low parts count, reasonable fit, just a few colours make it a pretty relaxed build.

Nice"second time around" build. Remember building this kit when it was first available. Mine was also an unpainted glue bomb, but I was proud of it. Times change.

[lyle]

Outstanding work!

Thanks! It was fun. Going to a big show tomorrow with loads of venders that often have some odd stuff so hoping to grab another of the series.
