Been doing a little kitbash model making over last few days for the roof of my Gaslamp Alley building from Sarissa Precision. Loosely based on Studio Ghibli films in particular Nausicaa

It's made from at least 6 model kits but the principle ones that I can remember are:

1. Huey Helicopter
2. Anakin's Pod Racer
3. Biplane
4. Apollo 11
5. Steam Train

I think theres some Star Trek bits in there too and the square base is from the Chemical Plant set from Conflix/Pegasus Hobbies.

All the kits are different scales and can't for the life of me remember what they were as the boxes are long gone. I now have a massive plastic box to store all the bits in as the cardboard boxes were taking up way too much room.

If there's specific parts you'd like to know I can do my best to steer you in the right direction.

Got the building primed last night so here's some pics of the turbine on the roof as well as some of the details I've added so far. I still want to do a lot more work on it like adding more details and some filling.

I also have this great neon sign that I'd like to use.

I'll design a new vinyl sticker for it so its more in keeping, but you get the idea
