Well no pics tonight done some work on the engine (none of the parts fit properly) there is no radiator or hoses in the kit. I am fed up I don't seem to be able to build a decent kit anymore the Batmobile is rubbish the titanic is still nowhere near done the Halifax is turning out to be rubbish as is the C17. Seriously thinking of giving up on this modeling lark. Not that good at it in the first place but if I can't even build them to a standard I'm happy with what's the point.

I think you maybe being too hard on yourself, I for one think the Monkee build is looking awesome.
The paint finish is first class, and the build looks to be coming along nicely.
Know what you mean about getting frustrated though, that's why I put my 'AA' build to the back of the cupboard!
My solution is to take a break for a short while. But that's probably why I take so long to complete anything

I agree with Gregg, and think your being to hard on your shelf, and you know we are your owe
worst critics, at the best of times,
and i think we all go through the same stage, I did with the color of Martha, and Mr Tenners face,
was not happy for weeks with what i had done,
ops:
but once showen hear and got great comments all was well,
I wish i could get a great gloss finish on a car or some think, but never works for me,
you have done a great job ,just dont let it get you down you do great work, and always look forward
to seeing more,
chin up old man ,had to say it lol,

Ken, despite the decal being gold and not yellow etc the build is coming along nicely. Stuff the radiator hoses, close the bonnet, seal it and be done with it. Only the top parts will show. No one is going to be interested in the engineering details of the Monkee Mobile.
BTW I found this with no decals on the side:
And this one shows the lettering in gold not yellow, and no "The" in the decal:
Another:
No "The" here either (but yellow looking decal):
So your kit isn't actually incorrect. They may have had more than one perhaps. Any way, get on with it and finish it mate, because it's looking good from where I sit.Comment

Ken, Take a breath and a step back, I boxed up my C130 Blue Angels and Iron Patriot because they weren't going the way I wanted, I just started something else.
I'm sure though if you continue with your cars they will turn out to be great pieces of work.
I'm sure we all get down hearted at some point but its through these trials a tribulations that we better our work each time
Keep the faith

Thanks guys and gal I feel much better knowing that there is more than one version of it going about so maybe mine is not wrong and you can't actually open the bonnet so I suppose the radiator thing is mute anyway guess I was just feeling bad. This is such a great club.Comment

Another not well known fact, is 2 of these machines were built.
And they were different in several details, so you're not necessarily wrong with your build.

I thought I had got over the problems with the engine but as you can see that is where the engine sits with the chassis in the right place and somehow I have to get the blower on the top of that engine, I mean that is miles out I recon about 10 mm too far back, really not sure how to get round this one. do I move the engine or hack the chassis about and move it forwards.
