That’s pretty sweet!

Thank you for the comments everyone.

Really like that Fargo van and the Corvair Lakewood wagon as well as the Aussie Charger; a rare sight for sure. But that '60 Plymouth was outta sight. Still have yet to see one in real life.

That looks fantastic! I’m working on the version of that using the revell kit, good stuff. But I too am dreading detailing the chassis/suspension lol

Just think of the overload springs and heavy duty shocks on the back of that! Great concept and well executed! Note: Has that gal got pants on?

Noticed that today marks one full year I've been on the Model Cars Mag forum.

Much has changed during our lifetimes and even bigger changes are on the horizon.

What did you use over the interior buttons?

That is very awesome, I have to pick up one of these

Thank you most kindly Joe. The P-61, the 1962 Rolls and now this... I do tend to pick kits that are nearly unbuildable, don't I? Thanks again for your kind comment Joe. =D-

Outstanding detail! Don't beat yourself up on the little stuff. This is a show winner in my book.

I like to use wine bottle foil for belt material. I like that I can pose it to look more natural, than the ribbon, or paper that is usually supplied.

Thanks Paul . . . Six months on this build so far, and as the project goes into month seven we arrive at quite an advanced stage . . . When the ceiling panel and the roof structure are lifted clear of the lower rooms assembly, the interior detail is visible, but of course once the roof and ceiling are lowered into position those rooms are in darkness . . . This is why I would like to rig up some lighting for each room. At the moment it is the routing of the wires, the bulbs and the batteries that needs to be given some thought . . . Mains electric lighting would be an option, but keeping the main supply cable out of view for photography later is the tricky part. Bulbs can be inserted through holes in the ceiling panel, which is of foam board construction, and immediately above the ceiling panel is the baseboard panel of the roof structure. The roof structure is a closed space, unless I decide to open up an access panel of some kind . . . Here is a simple sketch . . . David

WOW Very Nice!

That is a beautiful build! The finish and colors are perfect.

Finally got the deck cleaned up. The Harbor Fright washer worked well.

Much obliged David.

My sister had an orange cat named Poppy. He was quite the character, he would hiss at the mailman through a front window. Sadly she lost him at age 8. Her last cat, a Maine Coon, she lost a year ago. She says no more cats.

Yesterday topped off at 84, got my deck power washing done. Big time thunder and rain off and on all last night, still raining. The plants have all taken a quantum leap recently. 74 right now with a RH of 96%.

I was replyint to a post of mine, when I hit "Reply" and the screenshot below show up. So I went back to the post, thinking that I need to rewrite everything, but no, luckly everything was there. I removed the Emoji hit "reply" and it worked! Same issue happen to me weeks ago, but I didn't pay to much attention on what I did, but I remember removing an emoji. Looks like if I write the emoji it have issue, but if I choose one from the sidebar it works... 😮

Welcome to the forum Tavis.

The modeling forums on FB are rife with inane A1 generated posts. I shun them, but many take the bait.

Thank you! But I think you should try, maybe one in 1/72 that has less parts. It is fun!

I'm taking a break from modeling, doing summer stuff mostly. The next rainy day I'll get back into it.

I may have a spare Mountain Goat kit
