Responding to the original question. I don't build to perfection, I build to satisfaction...my satisfaction. Like many others here, I will never achieve the skill level exhibited by the well deserved winners of the GSL but I can learn from them any time they are gracious enough to share their process and I can envy their skills and "disciplines" (learned engineering), and I will always admire what has been shared. This should not be seen as a slight to builders that don't compete because, but everyone should consider sharing/displaying their work because you never know when energize an observer to create their next masterpiece. I still like to include features that most builders don't do (hand sewn cloth/leather upholstery) or add some working feature as long as it "looks" close enough to the real thing to be almost indistinguishable. And like most builders here, I have lots of my own ideas/custom creations to realize into 3d form. Sure, it's nice to hear when people comment about my builds and I'm interested to see if people actually look at my work long enough to consider figuring out what I have done in the build, but in the end I do this for me, for my satisfaction.

I shot "expert" in boot camp with the lower one.

nice save

at first I thought it was an Isabella, similar but not the same

got a photo of the Shamrock when I was at the museum a few years ago, not sure if it's a clone or the original.

gotta post in regular boyz

A stargate, for a party decoration, folds up so it can be put inside a station wagon. and a more dynamic view: Stargate20170429.mp4

an interesting subject, not manufactured where I thought and quite similar to my first search specs.

I think Mike Young has found a better starting shape of car to work with.

While StevieB has some valid points, that doesn't mean you can't do it your way. To my eyes, a late model corvette may be the best place to start getting the general shape of the concept car and then graft on the shapes and elements that make it recognizable as the concept car. And you may find that you may need to just put all the parts into a box and save this project for later.

this link has wheels that accept various wheel design inserts: https://slotcarcorner.com/1-32-Slot-Car-Parts-by-Type-/Wheels-and-Inserts/CB-Design/Insert-Wheels-15x8mm-Silver-p2223.html

the Revell '07 Shelby GT500 has a nice set of Torque Thrust wheels in it also.

found this at Electric Dreams :

I/32 scale slot car parts is the best way to get some great looking wheels/tires.

I found this quite fascinating: However, I'm not EVEN going to start with that (unless I win the grand prize of the Powerball).

the next shortage will be "murder" wasp spray.

I think most of the body is close enough to rework, the rear window would most likely be easier to fix than the work required to create the front and rear bumper and facias, I guess this will remain on my far back burner.

Randy, those look great and there is surely a market for those. I was thinking more of deep-dish model-A wire wheels similar to what monogram put in their '30 woody, or kelsey-hayes style suitable for caddy, t-bird, chrysler

Possibly anyone that has 3d modeled the front and rear facia and bumper assemblies for a 1/16 scale MPC '79 Trans Am.

Are there going to be some street rod type deep and regular offset wire wheels in the development queue?

definitely the Pyro "VW" sun roof sedan (I'm looking at the box as I typed this)

looks pretty "silky" to me, since I know exactly what you had to work with. I think I've finally spotted why this body looks so "disproportionate", the doors are too short for a two door sedan (and of course, the front of the car is too flat).

Try searching the Mechwarrior universe for the Rifleman. (personally, I prefer the Marauder over the Rifleman) I encountered mechs back in the 80's through the first Mechwarrior game (which would run on a "286" based PC. Battletech has been around for longer than Mechwarrior (the computer game) and has a large audience, there is a free online version of Mechwarrior that has very good looking graphics. I have a few "gundams" because of the mechwarrior game but they are over 30 years old at this point and I never finished one yet ( I also have mint unbuilt star wars R2D2 and C3PO ).
