Project 035 -- Mobile Catering #1, Game Vender

Brad Furminger
This is unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm intrigued.

Chris Greathouse
Me too! There are 10 of them in the Mobile Catering series, I'm planning on getting as many as possible. Here's a link to a webshop that has really cool product shots in each of their product pages. I also want the Ramen Shop, Sushi Truck, and Tribal Dummer. 1999.co.jp/eng/searc..hkey=Mobile+Catering

Nathan Dempsey
I was waiting for you to do this one😉

Chris Greathouse
I figured the Blue Shark was big and awesome, so I'd go small and awesome with this one. 😄

Zach Wilson
This is on my wish list for sure

Chris Greathouse
Poor little truck looks like it was in the middle of a gunfight, lots of holes. lol

Bozzer
Funky little kit, mate. I have never seen it before. Ok, you have my attention now! 🙂

Chris Greathouse
Funky is good 🙂 And welcome to the show guys 🙂

Gordon Sørensen
Bizarre little series of trucks! Just odd enough to be interesting...

Chris Greathouse
😄

Tom ...
Ready player one...

Chris Greathouse
Welcome Tom. 😄 Clipped and sanded all whooping 46 pieces... It's almost laughable compared to my last project... But I wanted a fun easy peezy model after that. The little figurine had some serious mould lines... Also, it'll be the first figurine I've painted.

Chris Greathouse
How I commonly attach pieces to skewers/toothpicks for the spray-booth, and drying block.

Bill Newcomer
Thanks for sharing. I am definitely modifying my painting tactics. BETTER RESULTS!!!!

Chris Greathouse
Toothpick art for all!! Pieces are primed, and now I'm separating colors for batch spraying.

Bob Hall
So it begins ! Another unique creation by Chris ! This one will definitely stand out in your collection ! LOL !

Chris Greathouse
I already know what my next mini truck will be, this won't be the last... I'm pumped. And welcome Robert 🙂

Bob Hall
Well ! You sure have the "UNIQUE" category down !

Chris Greathouse
They are the funnest to build 😄 Regular cars are fun too, but being able to say well there's something I haven't seen before, like Brad, Bozzer and Gordon above, is the best 😄

Chris Greathouse
Everything is painted, next is secondary colors, gloss and decals.

Chris Greathouse
Secondaries done, first coat of clear done, now it's decal madness for a second model in a row... but on a mini scale 😄 Watching the TV show Community while I wait a couple of hours for the clear to dry, then I'll probably put together at least a couple/few of the games... And I may give Bob his arms back if he's a good boy. 😛

Chris Greathouse
Combat War frustrated me a bit. the holes in the decals for the barrel holster weren't quite large enough. Had to cut them and force the little buggers into place around the holsters.

Chris Greathouse
Build Time!

Chris Greathouse
Finished! It's just as fun as it looks on the box 😄 For the record, this is the 35th build since starting the hobby.

Bob Hall
That is one Funky looking little spud ! You can definitely find some crazy stuff in Tokyo, been there a couple times and still probably only saw 10% of the wild and crazy stuff there ! Great Work Chris ! Keep em Coming !

Bozzer
That looks cool mate! Well done! It didn't take you long either? I'm definitely have to look out for a couple of these fun kits, for a break in-between the serious stuff. Nicely done mate🙂

Tom ...
What a fun kit! You're definitely on your game...

Chris Greathouse
Thanks guys! I hope to go to Japan at least once before I go toes up. I really want to go to Akihabara (anime/otaku district). Bozzer... not long at all, but there's hardly any pieces, 46, I counted. This one had a bit of sticker madness going on, but you're putting together arcade machines, so it's a lot of fun... and easy... Especially after the Blue Shark. 😄 At the link in the top, there are a couple for sale, this was $25 shipped for me.

Michael Hickey
Cool...👍

Bob Hall
So whats Next ? And yes, I recommend Japan and Seoul South Korea as a great place to go !

Chris Greathouse
I have to see what colors I have most of, but I'll probably do the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' (AMT/ERTL 6871, 1:25) or Datsun 280 ZX Turbo (AMT 1043, 1:25)

Bob Hall
Cool Beans !

Some Cool Tech and Reference pics for the Benzo !

And would you believe when I was a kid my dad had a Datsun 280Z in that Hideous brown on brown configuration, looked like a melted candy bar on wheels ! LOL !

Chris Greathouse
What's the world coming to??? Robert the muscle head handing out info on a foreign car. 😄

Bob Hall
Know Thy Enemy ! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nathan Dempsey
Came out great Chris! My vote for the next one is the Datsun since my first car was the Datsun/Nissan (yes both brands were on the back) 1983 Maxima.

Greg Baker
Well, that came together quickly.

Tom ...
Game over!

Chris Greathouse
Thanks guys... I think I'm going to start the Datsun.

Nathan Dempsey
Wooo!

Neuling
Sehr hübsch!

Chris Greathouse
Thanks Neuling 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Game on!
Weird little thing

Anton
You build the coolest kits and they turn out great! I'm sooo close to ordering this, I've never seen anything like it!

Chris Greathouse
Thank you and you should! It's a simple little kit, but it looks awesome on the shelf. All who look at my collection in person really like how fun it is. It was only $27 including shipping to the US from the website I linked at the top. The WOW factor makes it's totally worth it. 🙂 Cheers mate!

Also I didn't catch your comment Martin way back in April... Thanks!

Mega Driver
Nice kit. Good job! I'll start building this today and I'am glad I saw your pictures. ^o^/

Nigel Chapman
It looks really good in the flesh and something different. I have seen this kit and a fire engine and catering truck on eBay recently.
As to your next project Chris do a mash up of the Merc and Datsun !
