Re: Recreating a childhood memory
last time i built one of those Revell kits about 12 years ago, first separate into 2 equal piles pasts and flash! Previous Message Nicely done! Happy Holidays. Previous Message In 1955 when I was 9 years old Revell released a plastic kit, in approximately 1:400 scale, of the Matson freighter HAWAIIAN PILOT. I immediately fell in love with it, probably because of the romantic box art. old Recently I saw that art on the internet and 66 years later decided to try to recreate that model in 1250 scale. I will be posting a Feature Article next year on this build, but here's a preview. I decided to use as the basis for the model a C-3 model from Shapeways. The transformation required a lot of work but here's the finished product, which I completed a few days ago. I'm very happy with the result. I hope that this holiday season, each of you can enjoy some warm memory from your childhood too.
