Did she let you "monkey" around Scottie, or was you the perfect Gentleman? :smiling5:

All very interesting answers guys,

Twelve Monkeys refers to(I think) an existential saying that if you gave twelve monkeys with typewriters an infinite amount of time, eventually they would produce the complete works of Shakespeare..... I think it was a Terry Gilliam film, but I've never seen it
HTH

My monkeys in no way will be given typewriters. :smiling2:...the one I remember was with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.

Nice looking herd of heads there Richard.......they all remind me of the proverbial "Sock Monkey"

Actually up close they look like they're wearing goggles, will have to sculpt down some edges.

Remember the film as complex with some excellent portrayals.

Didn't sit right through it the first time but will check it out again. I remember Brad being quite looney and wondered how he kept his eyes like that throughout the shoot.

I'm sure I went out with that once :smiling: :smiling: :smiling:

You had a big gnasher date?

Cheers,

Reminds me of the scene in Matrix Resurrection where Neo sees the bosses' mouth start to disappear (sealing up) as he's talking. There was a similar scene in the first Matrix where he was being interviewed by agents.

Hi, forgive me, it's been 3 months since my last confession...er...I mean work on this dio...
3 months can let your mind wonder and accidentally land you with some new references and alter the idea.
I thought the Dodge was a little lonely so I looked for another vehicle to accompany it then this picture came up......then another...
I had a Tamiya Dingo half built and thought of a conversion and today did this...
l will need to shave of the front side fenders to flush with the sides of the front mounted box. The side box compartment needs adjusting too.
That's it for now. I'll explain the new scenario later.

Great to see this back on the bench Richard, but I have to ask why the Tammy kit is pink. Maybe the settings on your camera??? Or did you have another plan for this???...Bring it on Sir........

No plan Allen, just camera settings. Hope these don't look pink on your monitor.
Trying to get some of the niggles ironed out on the front with a longer base plate and rivets. Managed to flush the mud guard fenders to the width of the front storage box.

The L brackets will need coned shaped fittings with lock lever handles. Side storage box below puttied and waiting for it to cure. Added a support bar at the bottom.

Top compartment cover dry fitted with hatches cut away. Adding the lipped edging and painting the interior later.
That's all for tonight folks.

Cheers,
Richard
