  1. It’s really great to see these classics given a new lease on life. While I have nothing against customs, I really appreciate the fact that you chose to keep them stock. My favourite has to be the Oldsmobile. The rear windows on those old ‘flat tops’ were amazing.

  2. Welcome Martin! I noticed a couple of your builds in the Under Glass section., and after seeing more here I have to tell you your builds are exemplary and your backgrounds and lighting are very artistically chosen. I’m looking forward to learning more about your work.

  3. A very nice build overall! I like how you down graded it to the custom trim level. All of the extras are very impressive, such as the trunk latch mechanism. I’ve never seen that before. Your work on the chassis is truly inspiring!

  4. This is one sweet looking roadster pickup Cliff! You've really nailed it's stance and proportions in my opinion. I know you had to plan these important things out, especially since the chassis is all scratch built. On top of that everything is super clean. (something I often struggle with -but won't give up on!) The front axle and suspension are beautiful to look at and the colour choices are really eye catching too. The big '55 Chevy steering wheel and the wide whites really add to the period look!

    Thanks for posting it-

  5. Persistence has certainly paid off for you on this one. You’ve done an excellent job on it. All the various finishes are working very well. I have this one in my stash as well and I hope it turns out as nice as yours. Especially that gorgeous orange paint job!

  6. Another beautiful model from you Mr. Lin! I can’t see any evidence that it was even touched by human hands. You are definitely making me think about borrowing your idea on painting the widow trim. I will first have to get over my fear of putting masking tape over the body!

  7. Another beautiful model! I’d be very pleased to have this one on my shelf. Your mild dissatisfaction with it is yours alone, but I guess that’s what keeps us striving for more on each model. Superbly finished and foiled, and you always nail the colour choices. 
    I was surprised to see the separate clear headlight lenses Revell included in this kit-pretty advanced for the time.

  8. I’ve been really enjoying looking at your models over the past few months. I find myself going back for a second look. They’re that good and the subjects really appeal to me. You’ve built this rare old kit to the high standard it deserves. The paint on this Plymouth is beautiful and you could teach a master class on bare metal foil application!

  9. Thanks everyone for your very helpful responses. I knew I’d come to the right place! 
    I’m planning a surf wagon build of the AMT Nova wagon and I’d like to throw a surfboard or two up on it’s roof.
