  3. Knew him personally in the Lake Michigan Model Car Club. Talented in miniature as well as wrenching the real thing. He will be missed. God Rest His Soul.
  4. Fantastic!! Beautiful detail! You are the only one who did one in black! Everyone else's, including mine, is in the peach color!
  5. Sharp! That black paint job is so smooth and slick my eyes just roll right off it! Beautiful!
  6. Beautiful!!!! Where can I get one?
  7. Bought this eons ago mint in the box. Two-tone color combo inspired by picture in brochure. Colors custom mixed lacquer inside and out. Body coated in Dupont two-part clear. 3-toning the 1-piece interior was quite the challenge! Added as much underhood detail as I could get away with... Thanks for looking!
  8. Original, in the box JoHan kit. Added Modelhaus whitewall tires, scratchbuilt rearview mirror, and fender antenna. Power window switches and seat belt hardware courtesy of Model Car Garage. Added vinyl top with strip plastic and textured paint. Duplicolor paint was used under DuPont two-part clear. Front and rear bumpers replated. Thanks for looking!
  9. Reissue of '59 Imperial by Model KIng. Molded/cast chrome taillights in red-tinted resin, added mirrors, antenna. Interior has flocked carpeting, power window switches by Model Car Garage, and foot pedals out of the parts box. Gave the roof the option treatment of brushed metal/vinyl using paint and texture. Paint is custom mixed lacquer under two-part clear. Thanks for Looking!
  10. Bought this mint-in-the-box kit back in '85, sat half-finished for decades until finished recently. Mostly out-of-the-box, added mirrors, new wheels and tires, rear fender antenna, and some interior detail. Paints are lacquer custom mixed off the color chip sheet, covered with two-part clear. Enjoy!
  11. Great weathering job! Typical of an early Japanese car imported into the rust belt. I love this kit! I have built several.....
  12. Tamiya's New kit built straight out of the box. Some 1500 real cars produced, not all black, this is a factory color mixed in lacquer. Kit went together without any worries, though the decals were a little fussy. A word on the real car; exactly one real one is known to exist. I saw one in the lobby of the Toyota Motor Museum in Nagoya, Japan, and didn't know at the time that it was a replica built for Toyota's 50th Anniversary. The only real survivor was discovered in Siberia in poor shape, being used by a farmer for generations and endlessly repaired with whatever was on hand. It now lives in an auto museum in the Netherlands, unrestored...... Thanks for looking!
  13. Love the Big Bads! Clean build!!
  14. Beautiful!!! First one I've ever seen built!.....probably because it's not the easiest to build in the first place! One wonders how well kids did with it back in '57?
