Thanks Ward ! I saw this a year or so ago but completely forgot about it , pretty cool kit ! There's a couple of reviews of it on YouTube . For the ThunderPig is there any kind of number or date ? You're welcome! On the "Mad Maestro" kit: a good friend of mine (Andy Pearson) from England built that one up, maybe a year or so ago, and he recently send me a photo. I asked for and got permission to post that photo here, so I'll get that built-up image of Andy's kit uploaded, fairly soonish now, over in the appropriate section of these boards. On Thunderpig: Short answer is "Not that I know of, or can confirm, but my best guess is that there might be". Longer answer: if there's a part number, or a (firm) date-of-creation-and-release, I wouldn't personally have access to that info. Jim Bertges might have that info, though. From what I've seen, in Jim's article (the article having appeared in the "summer 2004" or issue #57 of Modeler's Resource) and also what I gleaned from the research I did (old info I found from various partial web archives the kit's creators once had put up, for all to see, the kit only a total release run of 30 signed / numbered copies. They had "resin works" apparently doing the casting work on it, if that's of any help on anything. Jim's copy appears to be copy #5 out of the 30 total kits, as best I can tell. Low-res online photos of the kit, from back in the day, show what looks like a professionally done, really nice instruction sheet -- with a lot of "too small to actually read any of it" print being visible or implied. So it's possible a creation date may be there ... but I couldn't begin to tell anyone what that blurry / tiny print says. Here's what I mean ... these images are "doubled" in size from the originals, which I had found via the Wayback Machine:   Jim Bertges is likely the best guy for letting the rest of us know what those instructions / box art once actually looked like. |

It's a shame that ThunderPig kit was such a limited release (only 30 kits). Here's another one of those images that I dug up, online. (This time, the image is not modified in any way: it's as the web once showed it.)  |

I had an opportunity when these were made and I passed.. one of the biggest modeling mistakes I’ve made... such a cool piece ! |

Looks like the Model Master resins are already there under Jimmy Flintstone . . . I can't remember all of this stuff anymore .  |
