I'll be sure to remember this. If it isn't visible, don't sweat it.

Beautiful model. That car gives me some nostalgic vibes. I had ordered one from an ad on the back of a comic book or a magazine then spent days anxiously checking our post office box. It never showed up. It was a huge disappointment for a 10 year old.

Just checked their website, an impressive line. I imagine their "Extremecolors" work sort of like Alclad.

The Rolls body sits well on the Duesenberg floor pan but it sits too high as you can see once the rolls fenders are on. Will sort that out next. Spent the rest of the evening sorting out that pile. Binned many small parts before they fall through the cracks. Later, I'll attempt to sort them by make.

Now I want a Chrysler too. Go for it Wayne.

thank you, sir.

Was this puppy ever kitted?

Hey Joe, if you're talking about the stash,I'd say I have a lifetime supply with those along with the ones I already have.

I think he's referring to the driving lamps on the bumper.

Bill, I wis I had the money to take my Chevy to your shop to get sorted out.

Eric, what I could do though, is trade one of these for a 33 Chrysler LeBaron.

Dennis, do you have the other side too?

Yup. Yours?

How about that. The ancestor on my dad's side came over as a slodier too. He was in "Les compagnies franches de la marine". He came over around 1700. The one who came in 1658, David Létourneau came as a settler and settled on Orleans Island, in the St-Lawrence more or less in front of Quebec City. The house he built for his son still stands and is still owned by a Létourneau.

Not really. I don't know if the line is still going after 350 years.

Have you heard that the Transtar 4300 has just been reissued? Yes, I am very glad, it is a kit with which I was very invloved. The Sales Engineering manager was not pleased that it was first released back in the 70's as a short hood 4200 with a Cummins VT903. He was right, the VT903 was a flop. Is that why my 4300 kit has a 903 on the outside of the box and a V800 inside?

Bienvenue Louis. Moi aussi mes ancêtres sont venus de France. My mother's family is from Muron, near La Rochelle.They came here a few years ago in 1658. We haven't figured out where my father's family is from.We suspect it is Avizes, south of Reims. There are several other modelers from France on here.

Thanks Eric. It's just that I can't bring myself to redo them the same.this way they "feel" like new models. As for your generous offer, I have the makings of several of these whimsical creations. Picked up a set of "parts" on eBay. Nice haul. The gray dual-cowl body is diecast. I wonder what it was.

Welcome Lee. Nice setting for the Porsche. Looks like you do dios and scenery too.

I made a major executive decision and the Duesenberg will be rebodied with the Henley roadster body. First order of business was to investigate if the two could be mated. In order for the Duesenberg firewall to fit against the Henley interior a strip had to be cut off from the area which meets the toe board. Then I checked the two bodies' taper to see if they would meet. Looks like they will with a bit of an extension. Second decision was to stick with the Rolls rear fenders. It will be easier this way.

A while back, one of the masters on here showed us a beautifully detailed Cat engine. It featured most of the techniques but the chipping was what had struck me. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It might be the same fellow who had a hoe boom for a load. Unfortunately my memory is atrophied.

Atlantic would be too much work. But something like this could be had by shortening the Bugatti roof & using a shortened Henley deck

I was also thinking of modifying the Bugatti body to the Atalante styling.

Did these mockups this morning just to see. Both are definitely feasible but the Henley roadster would be somewhat more challenging.
