I've been chipping away every month at building out the model, but have neglected to post on my progress. I felt it was time, as a big box arrived yesterday. More on that later. So far, the entire car's chassis, frame, and engine are complete. Front end. Rear end. Engine close-up So, as you can see, a bunch of work and a lot of parts so far. All of this is the result of the first 34 issues. And, it looks like I'm just at the beginning of the electrical parts. There is a wire harness that connects to the battery compartment (which is mounted under the car in the front), but so far there's nothing to plug the harness into. So, what about this delivery from yesterday? A big mystery box from Eaglemoss. Normal boxes from Eaglemoss are about the size of a sheet of paper and about 4"...

Bucket o’ Updates
I really need to get back on board with blogging. It's been so long... I've re-enabled my subscription to HakerBoxes. So far, I've received boxes 54 (Smart Home), 55 (High Roller), and 56 (Demon Seed). I've created some project pages on my internal wiki, but have made no progress toward assembling the kits. I have a large box of unpainted D&D minis sitting here next to me that were originally intended for a campaign I created for a bunch of friends. Of course, this was all before the COVID-19 craziness. We haven't played yet, but I do want to start chipping away at painting all of these. Eventually we will use them. About a month ago my main PC crapped out. I decided to do something I've never done before; spec out a high-end machine and order all new parts. I did such, and got all of the components from...
Great Scott! The DeLorean: Part 1
A couple of weeks ago I was catching up on some videos from tested.com, and they had posted a piece from New York Comic Con where they talked to Eaglemoss Collections about an upcoming subscription-based version of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters. This model, as well as the fact it was subscription based, was very intriguing to me. I poked around on their site and found they were also selling the DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future films. After thinking about it for a couple of days, I decided to get Doc Brown's amazing invention. Today, the first two issues arrived with some parts. Below are some photos of everything. All told, I spent about an hour unpacking and building the pieces. Just opened the box. This booklet outlines the the different features of the model after it's built. This fold-out shows the model at actual size. Issue...
