Thanks Steve! Yeah got it from the original owner's estate. Just turned 50k on the clock. Has a few minor scrapes and scratches but she DOES cruise!!

Here's mine. Anyone wants to measure/ laser scan it for a kit have at it!

I have a low mile bucket seat 72 Boat Tail Riviera if Revell, Mobius, or AMT wants the measure it.

Thank you for your compliment. Yes David, theres a wiggle on the left 1/4 panel. I'll correct them by hand before they are sold. Having an issue on the master with resin reacting with styrene turning the styrene into a thick liquid. Thats what caused the wiggle.

Thank you Mike. All that is required is an AMT 66 Galaxie kit. I'm planning on having plated parts.

Thanks Gordon. Been busy working on other masters as well. Here's the photos of the completed project ready for molds. The interior pics can be seen earlier in this thread.

Finally finished the master up. The first grill I did posted here just looked worse and worse the more I looked at it so did it over from scratch. Will show pics soon. I will be selling kits, Not ready to do so at this time. Be patient my friends.

Again misquoting me. I see your circular logic to defend your friend who is copying other's work, and your personal attacks on me because I'm letting others know what he is doing. If you can't understand why one would be hesitant to create a new kit for fear of being copied there's no use trying to have a discussion with about it. I'm done with this.... Please feel free to attack

Kerry, where did I talk about how good my stuff is and where did I talk about how good Modelhaus stuff is? I knew you had to be tight with Pedro. Please provide me your ebay handle so I can block you from bidding on my products when you get tired of buy repop junk from your buddy.

Bob, I never condemned the whole board. Just going after the supporters of bootleg products. To those who think I made a blanket condemnation I do apologize.

Dr. Kerry, I have a few questions for you as I'm trying to understand your logic. First, Why should I spend 40 to 200 hrs mastering a kit if I can't claim exclusivity? Second, How am I ripping Amt by making a 64 Colony Park from their Marauder kit? Anyone who buys the Colony Park will be buying the Marauder kit to build it with. I know the marauder is not currently available so if I do decide to sell the kits, I'll wait till the Marauder is reissued. That equals more income for AMT. I would think they would like that. Third, do you realize that by supporting the copy cats it ends new resin kit development? Also, when and where did I state that The Modelhaus was lord God king of resin? Please be specific. And to those who have a problem with me and my standards please don't buy from me. I was really looking forward to forming a new resin company selling new original high quality kits. Now, maybe, maybe not.

Perhaps I got up on the wrong side of the bed today, I was referring to those who support the resin rippers. There's really no reason to go into the resin business if I can't keep others from copying my work. There's no way I could get 2k for a kit... I was referring to built ups. Yes I was venting about the excuses I've been hearing on this board for copying others hard work. What I don't understand is why Pedro and others don't create their own masters and kits. That's what I'm doing. Many Modelhaus kits I helped master are completely scratch built. 50 Nash, the 57 Mercury wagons 58 Mercurys to name a few.

Yes, best just to ignore me.

the rear bumper is 61 Ford, the rear grill is scratch built, the interior is scratch built, the body is a heavily modified 64 Marauder. Why do you ask Kerry?

Oh, also the 66 Ford wagons are about done as well.

Hey y'all I just deleted this. Sorry.

My vote would be 77 through 79 Thunderbirds. Nascar, Low Rider, and replica stock. Breaking into uncharted and neglected territory may be a good thing.

I forgot all about the Ford Bronco excuse for stealing others resin kits. Since The Modelhaus is still in business, just not taking orders, and for sale, I would think that a person who takes it upon himself to copy the kits from the Modelhaus would be doing damage to the value of the said business. Every kit that is bootlegged drops the value of the business. I would think there would be one heck of a lawsuit possible.

When an artist spends 40 to 200 hrs creating a master one would think it would be his.

I'm not sure how to do this but below is a link to pedro's copy of Don's wagon. The photo posted with the black back round is the Modelhaus. Note the same incorrect B pillar that leans too far rear word at the top. http://media.fotki.com/1_p,rtddqskdwgrwkkgxwkfqsqggtsgsr,vi/bsbqfkqtdxbsbfrdbrrxfbrrbrfbd/8/3275648/14253424/FullSizeRenderMA290080480001-vi.jpg

Now he has stolen Don Holthauses 67 Impala wagon. I can't believe what some people do.

What?

Just got a set last Thursday and it looks like the full size wheel cover was put in a shrink machine! Working on a deal to offer them with my 66 Ford resin wagons.
