Fujimi 1/24
Completed December of 2017
This model was a gift from Justin "Bluesman" at our club Christmas party in 2016. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet Justin because he lived in another state. A week after the party he passed away so I made it a point to get this model completed by the following Christmas.
This was the first car I had built since I was in high school. It was a lot of fun to build but it did have some challenges since I had gotten used to building science fiction spaceships.
Despite all the mistakes I made building it, it is the best build of a car that I have ever done.

The Build
It didn't' go together like most cars since it is technically a submarine so there were some challenges to deal with. Also, it did not come with a base which was very odd so I took two Sandtrooper bases and filled in the gaps to make a nice sea floor.
