What did you do on your layout today?

Let me know how that goes......I've heard that Atlantis models don't go together well. I have a Chevy rack-body truck to do one day.

That’s the flatbed I have as well, although I mistakenly called it a Ford. My plan is to paint it olive drab and slap on some US Army decals before mounting on a flatbed.  I’ve built a few of their other models, the most recent being a Patton tank, and I’ve had no problems with assembly. I did notice that, unlike a tamiya model, you need to clean up the spruces a little  with a file or cutter to remove excess plastic, but other than that, they are fine and a great value, particularly if you can get them from hobby lobby when they run one of their sales. Here’s the Patton mounted on a flatbed. I need to chain it up but it’s otherwise complete. Great kit that included the figures as well -

I haven't built a model kit since doing Revell cars back in the 70's.....I figure there would be parts clean up so it's good to know they go together well.

Thanks

Posted a more detailed version on TPRR2.  This is an update of the Resort area covered earlier in this thread. Added the gravel parking lot, bollards and painted a bit of blue around the corner. This section separates at the rock wall and vertically just left of the lower tunnel entrance.

Jeff things are really coming together for you up at the resort! I bet the folks with the nice cars really like the new gravel and bollards to keep them from driving off the edge after a couple of those overpriced cocktails! LOL

I haven't build an vehicle kit since the '70s as well, part cleanup and all.  I still have a dozen cars in individual plastic cases.  I bought the stake bed truck and tanker.  Who knows when I will get to them however!
