Nicely done Pontiac, DA . . . I used to own a 1968 Pontiac Parisienne 4-door, which was right hand drive from Canada . . . My Pontiac was finished in Maize yellow with brown vinyl roof, 5.3 litre V8 engine, auto transmission and registration number in England was FCK 33 I built a 1:24 scale model of the Parisienne from a resin body kit, and I have photos for anyone interested in Pontiac's David

Sorry Matthew, I don't know of a prewired 16 cylinder distributor, but I am starting the build of a 1:16 scale Rolls-Royce Phantom III in January, which has two distributors of 12 ignition leads each, for the V12 engine. From what I have been reading on this forum, there is not much space to accommodate the 24 plug leads . . . David

Best looking soft top I've seen Steven . . . Very nicely done, also lots of detail inside and outside too. Certainly worth moulding and casting as someone suggested (david espenshade) David W.

I have only just realised, that I have posted in the wrong place, under the wrong topic . . . ' What Diecast Did You Get Today? ' My three Phantom III's were not purchased TODAY . . . as I have owned these for quite some time . . . Sorry guys, my brain has gone AWOL Maybe it is a Christmas / End of Year thing . . . I have not been drinking something strong, honestly ! David

Apologies guys . . . I forgot to mention these three model cars are in need of a good polish, as well as a missing Spirit of Ecstasy on one of them, and a pair of spot lamps that need fixing back in place. Thanks a lot Gary . . . David

Here are my three Danbury Mint Rolls-Royce Phantom III diecast models in 1:24 scale, which I have owned for some time. One car is finished in black, one is in burgundy and one in light blue and grey two-tone . . . David

What an excellent build this is David G., . . . Reading your summary of the completed build, I was surprised to see so many decals supplied by Revell, and particularly those areas that you would have expected to paint yourself. Beautiful colour for this car, and I can see that you have done your research meticulously at every stage . . . You have done your best with the warped hood, and you didn't resort to glueing the hood in place to make a curbside. Well done ! David W.

These are nice kits from Italeri, and this one of your Chrysler is a good build Louis . . . David

Who is this guy in the suit and hat ? . . . What is he doing ? Something would suggest that he is up to no good . . . David

Thanks David G . . . Glad you like the staging. David W.

Thanks Carl . . . The Hudson is on the move . . .

You will see from the following photograph that the Hudson is moving from one side of the basement garage to a second bay . . . The bay to the right hand side has it's own lighting, so there is no natural daylight here. David

I like this diorama of yours Olivier . . . You have captured the real scene using a relatively small space for the models. There is a sense of movement and action ! David

A couple of company names that spring to mind are Mercury and Packard . . . Also Cord and Pierce Arrow maybe . . . David

Thanks a lot Rattlecan Dan . . . I hope my photos do the Hudson justice. Such an iconic motor car. David

So do I Matthew, and thanks for looking . . . David

Thank you David, and that is truly music to my ears !

I think it is so important to photograph a scale model car within a diorama type of scenario, rather than just a plain background, and furthermore I take some pride if I manage to achieve a degree of realism that makes the viewer wonder . . . is this a real car, or is it a model car? David

Thank you Mike . . . Your comment is much appreciated ! David

I really like the paint colour that you have chosen for this Revell Jaguar XK 120 Mario . . . Your diorama work and photos are very realistic. David W.

Cheers !

Thanks David . . . and that was my intention, to create a very '50's feel . . . David

Thanks Harry . . . A great compliment indeed ! David

Pleased to see that my photos have motivated you to build a Hudson . . . so thank you ! David

Thank you Louis . . . glad you like them ! David
