Another blast from the past was unearthed tonight. This “Monster Truck Knight Bus” was in the same red bucket as the aforementioned Maresk Blue modular building. It uses the same tires that I used on a couple other Monster Trucks which came from the 5561 Big Foot 4×4.
This “conversion” was initially done as a joke after I had turned the Flying Car from the Escape From Privet Drive into a Monster Truck. Both would get pretty good reactions from both kids and parents when they saw them on the NCLTC layout.

- Yes, it would tip over pretty easily.

- Vroom.

- Big Tires

- Suspension – kind of dusty!
Another of my modular buildings was disassembled this afternoon. This is another building that has been around for a while. The upper part of the building is interesting but nothing special other than it features some unusual parts in rare colors.
The first floor of the building has some 12 pane windows based on the 2×2 window. As I took it apart I realized how much time I had spent building those windows. To get the yellow band effect around each group of 6 windows required a lot of SNOT (studs not on top) building. It took a lot of trial and error to get them to work correctly. Before I take the windows apart I think I will capture them in ML-CAD.
