Ep:21 (270): '49 Merc Kit Mishaps and Ramblings 🤣

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Bummer on all the missing parts. You can never go wrong with a 49 Merc. The shoebox is a Great kit as well. I'll be watching

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thank you, my friend 🙏 I'm usually pretty good about remembering things like that, and I never even used it for anything/any builds (that's what bothered me, not remembering and not having used it 😆). Ah well...I've got other engine choices (and a nib sealed kit ordered/coming, because ocd 🤣) 😊 Getting older. It's a privilege that I'm very grateful for, but it ain't for pansies 🤪

It happens to the best of us, ol bud, biggest lie we tell ourselves is "I I don't needa write that down", haha!

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Yep, lol 😆

[@davidparsleyscustomscaleemerge]

Lol, that describes my entire stash, missing parts. You'll get it figured out.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Lol, my stash has a fair share of that, too, what was bothering me was that it never got used, and that I (still) have no memory of it 🤦🤣 I appreciate you, brother, happy Easter weekend 😊🙏

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Sweet kits, gotta love a mercury ❤️ 🍻🍻🤝🇦🇺🇺🇲👊😊

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thanks, brother, and yes we do 😁🙏

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Oh yeah, I did that several times too 🤣🤣 I hope you finish your Merc before deadline, preferrebly with an engine in it 😂 And I agree totally on the shoeboxes, I love them too 😃

[@SmallADVentures1973]

I think we all have at some point, I usually remember doing it, though, lol (I AM nearly 51, however 🤦🤣). I'll get one finished by deadline, barring major unforseens preventing it 👍 It's an October end date, right? (I'm legitimately asking, I can't remember just now 🤦) OCD did win out, I'll be posting a screenshot of that happening tonight 🤪

[@marsgarage8217]

Wow really cool kits.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thanks, brother 😊🙏

[@curb9170]

Don't know about the Group Build. I've been messing with the Revell '49 Merc for several weeks, I'm putting the Lincoln Merc engine from AMT's Ford T kits. I'm using a Standard trans but not sure where it came from. As for the kits Caddy engine. It will go into something. I always make a note when I remove parts from kits .

[@DisabledCyclist]

Cool looking model kits!

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thanks, brother 🙏

[@Olskooldime]

Bwaahaha, it happens as you get older, old man, LMAO, but you'll get them sweet Mercs done, bro!

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Lol, thanks, brother 😊

[@ramblers69]

It happens, I don't even mark the box the when I use something out of it, lol

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Actually, this is the first time I can remember doing it (marking it) myself, but we know how my memory is 🤣 (until I forgot that too 🤦😆). I appreciate you, Tom, hope you're enjoying the weekend, brother 😊🙏

[@1992SteveTina]

Forgetting stuff, it happens to us all, OLD friend, LOL (joking)

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Huh? Do wut, young feller? 🤣

[@tiktokcomps8918]

I forget stuff too, and I'm only 21 lol

[@SmallADVentures1973]

You must've inherited it from your Pops 🤔🤣

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

Interesting projects

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thanks, brother 😊👍

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

[@SmallADVentures1973]

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Lol, thanks, brother 😆🙏 Sometimes I do though, I finished Fat Fenders Fins and Chrome 2 a month early, my Mustang 60 has been finished for weeks (group build ends April 17) and only took a couple weeks on that Buddy Build with dad....just have to be in the right mood I guess 🤔🤪 , but my 90th Anniversary 32 Ford and "Under 1,000 Group Build", both from a couple years ago, and this '49 Merc, nope, still languishing in no build land 🤣 That's one of the things I do really love about Group Builds though, that get you building 😁

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

[@olezippi]

I know what you mean man, I sometimes can remember what I had for lunch. I built the AMT 49 but not the Revell kit. I really need to get one if they are getting hard to come by.

[@SteveTina1992]

Oops, lol! :-)

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Yep 🤦😆

[@davidchin350]

Hope you find an extra engine, the struggles of kit bashing.😮
