Tom Geiger Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Back when I decided that I needed to get some experience working with basswood I decided to build this in 1/25 scale. Everything you see is basswood, except the tire which came from my parts box, and the climbing pegs are Evergreen rod. The slide surface is BMF. The original was in a 1970s Popular Mechanix Magazine. The entire set of plans was there with dimensions. I just built it in 1/25 scale instead of 1/1. I got the experience and confidence to work in wood. I've done a few things since, but this was the initial project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Wow! Super nice Tom! Looks like a 1:1 structure Thank you! Just in case there's any doubt it's in scale, here it is next to a '61 Ranchero. Edited April 28, 2013 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Very nice Tom! You could use that in a "Car show in the park" diorama, sitting behind the show cars. Maybe have some picnic tables nearby. BTW, wooden coffee stirrers work well for making tables. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
