    So... Chevy dealer diorama circa October 1965? "The '66s are here - and we still have '65s at deep discounts!"

    Merry Christmas to every one of you from every one of me!
  4. ChrisBcritter
    we're in love

    Here you go:

    And two for us fans of the very old stuff (note the usual price difference between hardtop and convertible):

    Just hope he was a very good builder. "Yep - Me and my kid are gonna build it! Now we'll go down to the dime store for some paint and glue!" (seller flatlines)
  8. ChrisBcritter
    Maybe - either way, I'd need to fix the hubcaps (way too flat, they look like they're from an '80s S-10) and the grille (needs that horizontal "lip" on the top bar). Not a big fan of The Hunter, seeing one of my favorite actors - as he was dying - in a script that wasn't worth his talents. Good stunts, though.

    Another raffle prize at the LMMCC meeting - AMT '51 Chevy convertible. It's from the old Customizing series and molded in very very blue. Maybe I should build it as this one:

    I'd like - please do!

    Check out the underside photos; if you've sunk a pile of money into got a Jo-Han Maverick or Comet these will help you detail the chassis: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-ford-maverick-3/

    Among many other things, you have the body of an ITC '40 Mercury convertible. If you want to build it up, I may have some spare bits, plus I've cast the hubcaps from it.
  13. ChrisBcritter
    Can't you let it drop - it's almost Christmas! (Now, which of these two items is more flammable?)
  14. ChrisBcritter
    Yep - I got a bunch of 'em displayed with with similar-sized Dinky/Corgi/Motorific etc. vehicles: (Crowded lot there - must be Free French Fries Night at the diner.)
  15. ChrisBcritter
    Excellent job, Glen! Your body/chassis combo is a real "why-didn't-I-think-of-that?" idea.

    '61. We had one that color with a /6 as well. This is five-year-old me with it, describing the grill opening: And little brother:

    And the folks at Barrett-Jackson are turning Highland Green with envy now...

    Because the '64 Cutlass needs too much work.

    As sanitary as they come, with a lot of sharp details - it's an inspiration for me to do better. Thanks for the threads!
  22. ChrisBcritter
    Beautiful work, Greg! Thanks for sharing it with us. Just needs one more detail: Save, reduce and print. The rear plate has the registration sticker.
  23. ChrisBcritter
    Food for thought, while you're at it - I found a couple side views of a real one and a model and lined them up: Definitely need to move that door jamb back a bit (1/8" at least). Jo-Han really had some problems with these - the earlier ones are even worse (the '59 Lark promo has about a 4" top chop along with the short doors).
  24. ChrisBcritter
    Oh - Sorry, Bill, I didn't mean Ray's master, I meant the Jo-Han/X-El original . Like how the '59-'60 Fleetwoods are shorter than 1/25.
  25. ChrisBcritter
    Bill, does that '58 seem to have the same shortened proportion issues the '59-'60 Fleetwoods have?
