Old builds

[mophius]

Here are three off the surviving models from when I was growing up. My dad and I did these as a joint venture but it was mostly him. Seeing as this was nearly 30 years ago they have lasted well.

Yeah. Those have held up well.

Here's my Marauder from about 30 years ago:

They both needed dusting!

What I find frightening is to think that many of the kits we now call The Cadet series are that old......

Nice builds by the way

I have one of those for use. There are three of the original in the vinyl cover. Myself, my late wife, my current wife. We all got them the minute they hit the book shelves in 1975.

I still have my original version that I've just about worn out reading and re-reading it.

Anyone remember this manual?

I don't remember that one but I do also remember having a copy of The Next Generation Technical Manual with the orange cover

On the shelf.

After 30 years they seem to be still in perfect shape! And they all were very well built and painted too! Other than that I just saw some dust from time that gives to them a bit more sense of reality!
