I have sold a few pieces, built one that was not quite right so I sold it and built a new one, and replaced some of what I sold with new. WHEW. Got all that? LOL

Okay, I built this fun house last Spring actually, never posted a photo. The real one belongs to Arnold Amusements. The model belongs to Frangipani Amusements.

I stopped in at the local hobby shop and was perusing the Plastruct items, and saw some girders that I thought would work for a Super Shot, so I bought them, and using some photos I had I built one for Frangipani Amusements. It's not exact to the letter, but close enough for me.

And finally, I built a Tempest, but it just did not look quite right to me, so I emailed Warren Renauld and asked him if he could give me the dimensions of the one he built, and he came through. Thanks Warren! So I sold the first one (which still looked good), and built a new one using Warren's numbers. Frangipani Amusements gets this one, too.

I am also going to rebuild the Hustler for Wonderland Shows, and I am working on a Scooter for Wonderland as well. I am also working on a Super Shot for Justin's JLJ Midways, too; he wanted one after he saw mine.

Just having fun model building again!

Mike, yeah gotta be careful, the air blowing from the heat duct can cause havoc with the tall pieces. LOL [:D]
