Mr. Enamels Workshop

Here is an exhibit I did in July called  "Model Kits: Then and Now"  exhibited at the Upper Moreland Free Public Library. There are 3 glass shelves filled with completed models and educational information. The top shelf is a short history of modeling including how it got its start in Willow Grove (where I am located) and the benefits as a hobbyist. The middle shelf shows a model kit at the various stages from the box to completion. And finally the bottom shelf includes the basic materials used in modeling. The exhibit dates are June 8 to July 22. If you are in the area of Willow Grove Pa, be sure to stop in and check it out. Some of the models you see on these pages will be there.

The first buildup I did when I returned to my childhood hobby of model building was the Lost in Space Dr. Smith and the Robot. It remains one of my FAVORITES esp. since Dr. Smith and the Robot are perfect likenesses. However, (no offense to Polar Lights, the producer of the kit) but I absolutely hate the flimsy and awkward looking base that comes with the kit, so, I substitued a Jimmy Flintstone produced planet terrain resin base. This will transform this kit into one of PERFECTION!  It can now be the awesome Lost in Space display that it deserves. Ya gotta love Dr. Smith, Oh the pain.
