Embarrasing but I made a Smurf Mushroom House once…laugh if you want…
(500th mark yes!!!)
Yeah!!
I built that FlapJack!! What a buzz it was - Granma bought it for me one summers day, and she thought it was the funniest thing she’d ever seen - flapping and bouncing all over the place.
I remember building those old Aurora execution machines - the guillotine, the pit and the pendulum (mom thought they were morbid).
I remember a Snoopy motorcycle (with Woodstock in a sidecar) - motorised as well.
There was a line of caricature cars - a Camaro Z-28, huge wheels on a shortened body - a real 3-d cartoon car.
I took a Votoms (Japanese amime) fighting suit and turned into a Marine Assault fighting suit - looks really cool - built it for my brother’s birthday.
There was a 1/72 scale vac-formed Goblin - strange but true.
Don’t remember how many of Ed Roth’s creations I built…
I think I’d go nuts if I could remember every single kit I’ve built - it’s gotta be 200-300 by now. And with all that practice, you’d think I was incapable of mistakes…I wish.

The weirdest thing is a Testors model called “Digger”. Actually it is not finished and it is something me and my wife started. I probably should finish that thing. It actually looks cool.
Have I? I still do. When I purchase a kit that has multiple parts they don’t normally go in the spare parts box. I’ll take those parts and create an aircraft or spacecraft. Then you sit back and wonder would it really fly?
I’ve got the Smurf that goes in it[:D][:D][:D]
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve had some rather bizarre experiences in the past , after I purchased two HO scale UFO’s. Shhhhh, they may hear us talking about them. One night after I had placed them on my layout, I heard some strange noises coming from the basement. Upon investigating, I saw these two little characters, dressed in space suits, walking around the layout. They were turning over rocks and leaves and so forth, when suddenly one of them turned to the other and asked, “hey duuuuuude, what arrrre we lookin for?” The other one turned and said, in a very calm voice, " little bitty women". So began the nightly activities of these two. Their activities ranged from raiding the fridge after midnite to trying to abduct our Miniature French Poodle. Thank God our poodle learned to bark in English shortly after we brought her back from France, where we adopted her. I often wonder what bizarre experiments they wanted to run on her. Those two are real sickos. Anyway this went on for the better part of a month, and then those two crazy little farts really did it. One night after the whole family went to bed, I heard the garage door open up and the car start. Out they went, snockered to the gills, for a big night down on the strip. They terrorized half the town, with their wild driving and boozing, before returning around 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning, with a couple of really tiny girls. We heard giggling and some of the most bizarre noises , to date, that night. Those two carried on with the girls till around 6am, before passing out from the booze. When I went down in the basement that morning, I was greeted with a real mess. Beer bottles, an empty little bottle of very good scotch, and something that looked like a small edition of a porn centerfold. I didn’t see the girls but those two were stretched out on the park benches in the middle of my HO town, with out so much as a stitch of clothing on. Your imagination could run wild, trying to figure out, what all those two had done that night. I don’t even want to know. Anyway, I waited until they had awakend and gone back inside the UFO’s, before removing them from the layout. I quickly took them back to the hobby shop where I had bought them, and tried to return them but the store owner didn’t want them back. He even tried to pay me to keep them. Hmmmmm, what does he know that I don’t? Anyway after much bickering, he finally did take them back, but promptly sold them to someone else who was absolutely fascinated with them. I saw that customer about a week later, and he looked like he had been thru a meat grinder. I was sure I knew why. [:D][:D][:D][:D]
