Watching Michael Model

Hello everyone! My name is Michael, and I'm a guest blogger here at Watching Me Model. I'm just getting back into model building after being away for twenty years. Before that, I built models for an equal number of years, beginning at the age of six. The first models I built were all those far-out show cars designed by Tom Daniel, and I'm getting back into this wonderful hobby by building them once again. This time, however, I have something a little different in mind—a series of dioramas showing the fate of these cars over forty years later! And since I'm such a big fan of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone, I'll make sure each once has a nice ironic twist.

First up, the Beer Wagon, Tom Daniel's first design for Monogram, back in 1967!
