    Excellent build. Congratulations.

    Oh yes, very nicely done. Especially the engine department.

    Amazing!! I am going to have to snag some insulation board.

    Brian, You have 2 PMs with photos. Gary

    I just looked in the above book and it has 8 pages dedicated to the 904. I could scan those pages and send them to If you only want the 904 info. It is a good book for the early years.

    The Tamiya is a 1/24 scale body while the Union/IMC is 1/25 scale.
  7. Gramps46
    Well done.

    Fascinating concept and execution.

    One of the things I noticed about most of my background buildings is the lack of foundations. Be they brick, masonry, or siding the walls go right down to the ground. That is not right nor very realistic so I am thinking about taking some time to modify my existing ones and maybe add a touch of grass along the edge. Your thoughts? Gary

    I like where I think you are going with this. Did you engrave the stones in the wall? Very cool.

    Very impressive Randy. Please let us know when you will be taking orders.

    I feel a bit guilty about this because it is a store bought backdrop. I've always done my own but was smitten with this one when I saw it. It is a G scale railroad item and is wired with a light over the door. Not real pleased with the inclusion of the security camera though. The 1941 Plymouth is by Motormax and the barrels are from Lowes nut and bolt department hobby drawer.

    It is hard to believe that that is 1/43. And the hood opens too!

    Team Caliber are nice. I have their 1963 Corvette and it is very well done. I like your clock too.

    Had a 93 white with gold limited. Enjoying this thread.

    Well I'll be darned! Nice box art too.

    Just a thought. These are the foil under the lids from a jar of mixed nuts and a Keurig cup. Neither is a perfect match for the dash but keep your eyes open for other foil under lids.

    I have been fortunate to sell off some of my stash which I realized I never would get built. With the proceeds I have been able to purchase some diecasts which I have had my eye on for a long time. With that being said I pulled the trigger on this Danbury Mint Aston Martin DB5 for a reasonable price. I am very pleased with it and the leather covered seats are a marvel. The only thing I plan to do is tone down the spokes in the wire wheels a bit.

    Maxx, if you do an FIA car from the Academy issue I may be able to give you the nose of an AMT kit to graft onto the Academy body. JC, that would work wouldn't it?
  20. Gramps46
    X2 all of the above.
  21. Gramps46
    I have still have the AMT box but stupidly sold off the model. As JC's photo shows it is based upon the slot car and has no engine etc. Don't mean to divert this excellent build thread.
  22. Gramps46
    Is the box labeled 1/25th like the other other IMC kits? The AMT Lola T70 is labeled 1/24. It is a striking design.
  23. Gramps46
    Thanks for the update Chuck. Things are looking good.

    "Struggling with creativity" is not what I am seeing in your work.

    Impressive craftsmanship. The assortment of tools and detail is amazing.
