Gorgeous car, and in one of my favorite color combos.

59 Chevrolet El-Camino
Sam I Am replied to Cool Hand's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Stunning Elky. My favorite vehicle of all time. Funny about the cars from the age of excess, which I love, but they all seem to stall when it comes to the foil work. ? (which I have three stalled at this moment) -
Inspiration indeed. I have one of these as well, along with some other ones. I practiced on the Linberg Bobtail T and learned a lot. Now I need to finish up a few projects on the bench so I can build another one. I have a solid core, 36" wide house door as my bench top and need every bit of it for 1/8.

I will take you up on that Bill, and thanks much. Just a minor update. Mudflaps! I really do like gel pens.

Vintage dwarf cars
Sam I Am replied to Scott8950's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My typo....or fat fingers...or not paying attention...or all of the above. Yes, under 4' 11 is what I thought I typed. -
So this is the strange thing. I bought and built that red truck box art, only able to build 100% stock, kit. still have the model, and NO big window, or option for it.

Vintage dwarf cars
Sam I Am replied to Scott8950's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I just did a quick Google, and Dwarf is actually the correct term, or "dwarfism", and "midget" could be considered the "derogatory" term. Either way, if you have a loved one under 5' 11inches...they are a Dwarf. ? -
I really like how you have modified the original kit so as to reproduce these other models.

Ditto for building them in the 70's with my dad. Might even have a pic or two taken by my mom doing so. I have all the Model A's, a few 32 Chevys, Duesenbergs, Packard, and now a couple Model T's. I should really rebuild one. Definitely following your build.

Looking good!?

BRBO 2022 Kenworth W900 EZ Build
Sam I Am replied to Sam I Am's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks William. I am going to look through things one last time before giving up completely. I had forgotten just how easy these kits are. I may want to build more of them. ? Chassis is all painted and up on all ten. only thing slowing this build down is waiting for paint to dry. Everyone needs to do a low stress build once in awhile. Very refreshing. -
What did you see on the road today?

Are the pleats done yet? You said the seats only took 15 min. ?

This thread brings back some memories. I built two of the Monogram Camaros and both the Monogram 57 hardtop and Nomad. Something about those old Monogram kits from my youth. I traded for three old Camaro build ups and a 57 hardtop. Now all I need to find is an old buildup of that Nomad.

Thanks guys! -
Stretched AMT Diamond Reo
Sam I Am replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Exactly my thought. Really out of proportion in kit form. Great job. ? -
Ford Lousiville OTR Tractor
Sam I Am replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks great. Any chance of getting my green one back? ? -
I feel a bit better now that I have the cab and nose mocked up (probably just the bourbon talking"). If anyone is good with making decals, let me know. After I get the green on the cab, I will need a bright yellow O and the words "QUACK ATTACK" ?

Well, I am not happy with how things are turning out, but will finish it nonetheless. I couldn't figure out why my yellow chassis parts looked like I used three different color primers under them when I know I didn't. Turns out that the third partial can of Tamiya yellow was slightly different. So I ended up with the original yellow on some, blended yellows on some, and different yellow on others. Fortunately, the cab, nose, and deck plates will be out of the same can. The green will be tied into the stripes on the cab. I think I am done with yellow for a while...

I figured you would with that beast.
