The Story Adam arrives home 20 minutes after leaving the crime scene and parks his car, back end in first, in the driveway. He walks into the house and he is greeted by his wife Natalie with a kiss and a hug. She pulls out a wrapped plate of food from the fridge, left over from dinner and places it in the microwave oven to heat up. His son, Thomas, is getting ready for bed and Adam says good night to him. Adam goes back downstairs to the kitchen and sits down at the table to eat and he is joined by Natalie and they talk about their respective days. His at Homicide and hers at the flower shop and at home. After eating dinner, he cleans up the kitchen and takes out the trash. He looks over the mail for bills and other correspondence and places them on his desk and he tosses the rest. He walks around the house making sure that the windows and doors are shut and locked and the lights have been turned off. He heads upstairs to bed where Natalie is reading a book and he then gets into his pajamas and crawls into bed. Tomorrow is another day. McNally Boston, PI will return… The BuildI have finished my 2010 Dodge Charger R/T. My goal was to build this as a car taken from Patrol and given to the Detectives. It has mis-matched paint, mis-aligned body parts, a 2-way radio, a computer and dual trunk mounted antennas. The body hasn't been polished after the final coat of paint.

Thank you, Joe! I kept looking at this model and wondering what I may have forgotten. I forgot to weather the chassis and I am no expert at that. The chassis was drybrushed with Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown and the exhaust system was drybrushed with Tamiya X-23 Clear Blue and X-26 Clear Orange.  |

Thank you Al! When you are retired and have nothing better to do, but to chase after doctor's appointments, supply runs and such, I spend a lot of my time down in the Model Cave. I get an idea and I run with it.

Al, it sounds like the dreaded "Honey-do List"! Honey, do this and Honey, do that!
