Where Are
We Today
Sundance RV
Resort
Yuma Az.
In my last
post, I wrote of a model that I had started to occupy my idle hands, it is now
finished. The model is of a 1991 Ford F350 pick-up truck.

I changed the look of the model to look like our 2015 Ford F 350 pick-up truck, which you know we affectionately call "Black Beauty".
The
following pictures show the progress of the build.

Just like
with my RC planes, I like to build and consider myself a good builder. It is
the small detail stuff that I wish I was better at. However, building this did
occupy my time when I needed something to do besides reading or watching TV. I
may have to do one next winter. This model will find its place in the
"Hangar" when I finish it when we get home this spring.

As
mentioned in my last post, there is another model purchase that has been made.
I will pick it up on our way home around the end of March, stay tune for that
one.
Until the
next time, take care and travel safe. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to
leave a comment, if you wish.
Nice job with your model, always fun building those. Thanks for the visit yesterday nice to see you guys again.
ReplyDeleteThanks George, it is fun building them. It was nice to see you guys again yesterday too and to have our "Rock Glen" gang all together.
DeleteBelieve it or not, I used to put models together when I was a kid. It kept me out of trouble for several years. Unfortunately, none of mine are left. Black Beauty is a beauty!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I can see you doing this. I also did it as a kid, but like you, mine are long gone. Yes we agree, Black Beauty is a beauty.
DeleteIt looks like a real truck in the pictures. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great job Bill! I know i'd never have the patience!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I have to do it stages so I have the patience.
DeleteIt's all about the details. Great job Bill. I look forward to seeing the future project completed too. Very nice hanger you have back on the Ridge and I'm sure you'll soon have a whole area dedicated to models other than planes. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the future project is on the plane side of my hobby. I will post a picture of it after I pick it up,also pictures of the construction process. The "Hangar" was built for my hobby, so there will definitely be a spot for models of both kinds.
DeleteGreat job on your model of the Black Beauty. Nice to have a hobby to occupy your time when you want to be using your hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, yes it's nice to have a hobby.
