FOUND! Tales from Ed's Cave - My Quick-Fit-Kit Moguras Unearthed In Epic Search-&-Rescue Mission

Oh good Lord Woodsy, I thought this day would never come: my Quick-Fit-Kit Moguras can now join its companions, the Echo Car and the Vanguard spaceship. 

In what amounted to a massive search-&-rescue mission out in The Cave, the evasive Moguras was found burrowing itself down into layers of boxes and tote bins, hiding behind mountains of parcels and playsets. 

Braving jungle heat and Arctic cold snaps, traps were set, and the elusive beast was captured at last!

Honestly though, while the Echo Car and Vanguard kits were readily available (they were featured on MC some months back), that darn Moguras went missing. 

I knew I had one because of one lone photo taken a couple of years ago of the box and bag of parts. True to its pesky nature, the thing kept giving me problems during the 'build' (more like wrestling session). 

Almost none of the parts fit as they should have, but after rounds of filing, carving, shaving, cutting, burning incense, and chanting incantations to the Gods of Model Building (fortunately no sacrifices were required), the bloody thing was finished. 

At my age, and with increasingly unsteady hands, even simple builds are challenging, but it certainly doesn't help when the parts don't fit. 

Perhaps the plastic had swelled over the years or perhaps the kits simply weren't designed that well, in any case it wasn't a whole lot of fun, but the job is done and I can now show all three vehicles together!
