Austin T Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Wow 6 models gave their life for that wagon, but the end result looks well worth it. don't you mean that six models came together and merged to craft this amazing wonder of styrene. To dramatic?Nope,not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-Machine Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You certainly earn my seal of approval with those fine looking Oldsmobiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Realy like the pair of Olds. You should think about doing a resin body of the wagon for those of us with less talnet than yourself. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This looks good! Very sharp build on unique subject, I have to say that you did awesome job with that body. Paint and finishing overall looks very good to me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortinanut Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 What inspiring work! I would love to do a Vista Cruiser. C'mon, Revell, you're halfway there already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Very nice and interesting conversion! If you don't mind, could you tell us which kits you had to use to make this? Don't hold me to this, but down the road I have something similar in mind, but perhaps a different year.

charlie8575 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Gorgeous, Ron. Please make sure to bring those up to the show in March, or make sure they get there. I'm sure Doug or Norm would be happy to pick up/return if you can't be there personally. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
