My Last Modeling Effort: 708th Maintenance Bn Presentation

I was sorting photos from my days in Germany when I found this.

 

I think it was the last plastic model I ever built that wasn't made of Legos.

 

This was a presentation gift for the outgoing commander of the 708th Maintenance Battalion.

 

In my hold baggage I had brought a Monogram Jeep kit. I am not sure where the Smurfs came from.

 

As you can see, they are using their expertise to return the vehicle to prime running condition.

 

They are standing on a maintenance form which indicates the replaced parts have been scrounged.

 

It was received with all of the humor intended. If you ever worked in a maintenance unit or even a motor pool, you understand.

Close up of the skilled mechanics.

 

Back in the day, you could walk into a toy shop and find Smurfs for every profession and sport on the planet.

That is funny and perfectly captures what you wanted to present! Good imagination and it came together perfectly. You should consider getting back into model building!
