Interior just about ready...

Updates...interior is coming along, windows are next..,.

Tamiya Deep Blue Metallic TS-53 added...came out pretty well.

I described where I got it in my initial post, read up at the top!

Slow going, but the body is now in paint. All "Gran" Torino trim successfully removed yielding a base model Torino. First color coat on the body...Tamiya gloss white. Second color will be dark blue in about a week.

Initial stages of a 76 Ford Torino 4 door, 3D resin print, Andrey Berodzny design, printed by Andy Lesniak. I decided to detail the engine, as most of the 3D kits have limited detail on the engine & chassis. I swapped out some items from the Revell Torino kit (fan belt/alternator/ps pump/fan) and stock exhaust manifolds as the 3D has headers. I added a distributor by Greg's Scale Modeling Co, and some parts box pieces, too (coil/fuel filter). Wheels are steelies from Fireball Modelworks. I'm going with a base line Torino, rather than the Gran version, so I have begun sanding off the extra trim. Wheels are test fitted, and the stance is set...

Wow! That's very nice

Very nicely done!

Trying again...

David, here's a shot of some of my collection I displayed at a show last year...

Do you know the way to San Jose? 1965 Plymouth Belvedere, San Jose Police. Model built from an excellent resin casting by Missing Link (4 door body, interior side panels, front bench and rear bench seats, lower trim dash) all mated to a Moebius 65 Belvedere I 2dr kit. Overall a pretty easy build, the Missing Link parts are fabulous. Paint is Tamiya TS15 which is a pretty close match to the SJPD cars of the 60s. Decals by Police Decal Shop. The roof beacon is a real nice Dietz 211 which is a 3D printed offering by Ranger Detail Technologies.

1968 Chevy Biscayne, Massachusetts State Police replica. Built using a resin body and interior made by MCW Automotive Finishes mated to an AMT 67 Impala kit. Details include a David Parsley roof beacon, In Quarters decals and a scratch built whip antenna. Paint is hardware store enamels that closely match MSP's "French and Electric" blues. This was their last year for 2 door sedan patrol units, it is also the only time in the 1960s that MSP used Chevys.

Beautifully done Tom, great to see your work once again. I have my 68 4 door just about ready to go, should get to it soon. Here's your 67 4 door which I built a few years ago...

Very nice, it's got the "look". By the way, In Quarters is now doing these decals in 1/25
