Deserted dinner?

Everyone left early, or just didn't RSVP?

[gotham]

Sgoti - yes...well, maybe the Invaders took the diners from their dinner at the diner, so it was all deserted, before they could have dessert.

Just remember to hide your pinky finger so you don't get detected as an alien.

You'll have to wait until Monday for the Invaders model!
And, as usual I will include my own little editorial.
So, I'll save my comments on the show and the subject until then.

...
In the meantime, has anyone tackled the Boss Hoss yet?

I'm just curious how you faired with the body side panels.
They are a bit tricky.
Part of the problem when you try to impart a more complicated shape to a model with a very low part count!

Still working on my Lamborghini Countach, very slowly.

I've just started it, and this may end up as a "test build" . The rear end of the Boss Hoss is tricky. attached the "upper" side panels first (as instructed). I started at the A pillar and worked back along the roof and trunk lid. Then the overlapping flat triangle pieces (that are part of the top piece) sort of fell into place and were pretty easy to glue down. I glued the lower side panels by starting under the window plus the upward slant right behind the window at the same time-- I think getting this spot aligned properly seems to the key.

[airdave]

yeah, you sorta have to put a slight crease in the side panels
right across the pillar...right at the point of that triangle.
