    That looks amazingly like the one I rear-ended in Nashville with my Buick Skylark!

    Could be some Premier stuff.

    Cool build! Looks great! About the fitment issues...I once flung a nearly finished Revell '57 BelAir down the hallway because I just couldn't take it, anymore!! LoL (I was about 13 or 14. Probably in over my head with that kit.)

    I think you made some excellent decisions on how to approach this project. I would be more than happy to have one like this in my display case, or even a real one like it in my driveway!!

    One of my current "Grail" items is a 1/25 scale 1967 Imperial promo. I have four of the 1968 Imperial promos, and they pop up far more often than the '67. I would probably consider trading one of the '68s for a '67.

    I have one of those 4 door Corvette kits. They don't seem to show up often on eBay.

    I've received two convertible kits in the last two months that were packed well enough, but still had broken windshield frames when they got to my house. I sent both sellers pics of the damage, and they were kind enough to offer partial refunds.

    The Model King issue I had, with the Open Road Camper, did call it The Racer's Wedge.

    I absolutely agree with this. Copper or stainless steel pipe with compression fittings would be this old pipefitter's choice for air lines.

    I would shop around for a small ready made air tank. I definitely wouldn't try to make one myself. The consequences can be very bad if something like a weld or threaded fitting should fail. Having worked as a pipefitter for over 40 years, I've seen results of what a tank under pressure can do when it blows up.

    I recently received a Polyglass Gasser Pontiac kit from an eBay seller with a 99.8% rating and over 154,000 feedback. It came in a bubble pack yellow envelope. The main problem with that is the mail carrier decided to cram it in the mailbox instead of putting it where she normally puts boxed packages. When I opened the package, I found one end of the kit box was crushed in a bit. After opening the kit, I found no damage to any parts. However, I don't think I'll buy from that eBay seller again.

    I have a few of the past issues of that Imperial, but none of them have the motorcycle. I may grab a new one just for that.

    I think I'll be jealous, now! LoL Great capture!

    I've had a few come from eBay sellers, and one from a member of another forum that arrived damaged. In every case, I contacted the seller first. Each time, the seller offered a satisfactory partial refund, except one. That seller sent me another complete kit, and told me to keep the broken one, too. So, now I have two 1968 FORD Thunderbird kits, one with a destroyed body in it. In all these cases, I didn't have to get eBay involved, but I would have if any of those sellers had balked on me.

    Welcome Mence! I've seen you about! Lol

    That's a very sharp Plymouth! Well done!

    And that most likely is front wheel drive.

    An amazing diorama! Weathering looks perfect, and the lighting is fantastic!

    My latest stuff to come in: Gauge sets from Best Model Car Parts. Great stuff!!

    I have one of these Nissan Caravan kits: Minicraft #1713

    I'd let a '63 Chevy II wagon reside on my shelf! I'm currently working on the Boss Nova kit.
  22. Bucky
    And the Lincoln itself was more like 2 tons or more. That was a mighty Ranchero!
  23. Bucky
    Welcome!! Have fun...post your work...tell us your ideas. You might have some tips we haven't thought up, yet.

    It's already impressive looking.

    Sort of goes along with performing plastic surgery....in scale.
