1/144 styrene plastic kit

Completed May, 2009

Kit manufactured by Entex

I built this kit when I was a child, somewhere between ages 10-12. Over the years, parts got lost and I had always wanted to display it, but it just didn't look good.

A couple of years back, I found the same kit on E-bay that had been started by someone. It, too, was missing parts; fortunately, between the two kits, I was able to put a complete one together. The decals were in very poor shape and many of them (including the SAC emblem) had to be "patched" together.

Started with this early 70s era hobby shop dead stock "Entex" 1/24 plastic model kit from Evilbay. I was impressed with the small box for a big model, the crispness of detail/body shape & lines compared to the modern Minicraft iteration on hopelessly shot toolings, and how everything was so neatly packed within the less than 12in/30cm long (roughly the size of a small loaf of bread), heavy cardboard box. Only thing is, the murky picture of a crudely built kit on the box inspires little confidence.

I sealed the hood/trunk due to marginal detail underneath, detailed the interior according to guidelines from Bring A Trailer auction archive listings for both these and S-series Bentleys in "standard steel" coachwork, did basic underneath/full curbside detail, used Elmer's Glue to glue in the glass, used real steel axles from the last dregs of a wrecked AMT promo model GMT400 Chevy in place of the stock brittle styrene ones, replaced the decaying natural rubber tires with AMT Firestone Super Cushions, and detailed it in a very fitting color scheme of Humbrol Acrylic Spray "sterling silver" with vermilion red pinstripe/wheel discs and a well detailed 2-tone red interior with felt "shag carpeting", hand painted woodgrain, detailed gauges/radio/switches and US/CDN (NADA in Britspeak) lighting. Finished it off with an era correct California press photographer plate.

My first batch of Loc Blocs. I have no idea how many colors there are. The sparkly one glows in the dark.

Very strange plastic. Glassy sounding, fun to rummage through :)

Hands down, this is the most detailed model of the Boeing 707 you can buy - if you can find space to keep the thing. Prices have recently gone up sharply, but if you do not mind a dented box, the price is still reasonable.

An Entex Pac Man 2 VFD handheld in decent condition. I was tempted. Unfortunately the fellow had a firm (but reasonable) price, and my yard sale funds were rather limited today.

Before there was the Nintendo Game Boy there was the Entex Electronic Baseball 2 game. This game allowed one-player or two-player action by using the buttons at the top for pitch selection. This game came out in 1979, and was (and still is) a lot of fun to play. The inning lights no longer work and the lid for the 2-player controls is gone, but the game still works great 30 years later.

Vintage Entex Porsche 917 Can-Am (1/20) and Wills Finecast Lotus 66 (1/24). Lotus 72 is a new kit (1/20) by Ebbro and is fantastically detailed!

Entex Electronics football game circa 1979. i had to clean out the batterys from the compartment and grind the acid from the battery conectors but it seems to be working apart from 1 led in the player 1 goal area.

bought for £1 from dene park carboot Hull UK on 10/05/2009.

This is a handheld electronic toy from MY childhood. The copyright on this Entex Space Invader game is 1981. My currently-13-year-old son likes to play with this, as well as my husband's old Coleco football handheld electronic game.

The score "field" is limited to 3 digits. I played a game tonight and got over 1000 - heh heh!

The red control on the left is for Pro/Amateur mode. The two yellow buttons move the shooter left and right. And the red control on the right is Off/On/Mute - meaning you could play it with or without sound.

It was very high tech in its day!

I had this in my early teens, but it was missing parts so I never completed it. That is set to change :)
