Thanks for the tips. I found the Fujimi set but it is odd that a vintage style bike would be included with modern style tools. I will check on Shapeways.

Very creative save, well done. Is that a bicycle in the back? Would love to see more of it. Been looking for one.

I like it. Do you have more pictures?

Very nice builds on the Corvettes. I especially like the Mako Shark.

In the 1950s my family would drive to Ashtabula harbor on lake Erie and from an overlook watch the Huletts in action. Thank you for posting the photos and bringing back the memories.

Super nice.

The Wheelhorse tractor is one of my favorites.

$5.99 at Lidl grocery store last weekend.

Now that is interesting. One droop and one no droop.

Polar Lights 2005 Ford GT Snap. Pretty nice snap except I wish I could get the body to sit down on the chassis like it should.

Looking really good. Please keep us posted on your progress. I built the curbside Hasegawa kit before I knew about the Tamiya.

Thanks for the disassembly tip Rich.

Thanks for the suggestion Andy, I feel honored. Sent you a PM.

Oh yeah!! Looks really good in the blue. I also have the silver version so thanks for the tips. I was surprised at the tiny emblem on the gas tank door and the Pontiac in the grille. My only concern is the headlamps seen small to me.

Yes it is working now. Super idea.

Looking real good. Hope to see the finished model soon.

Very nice indeed.

I saw those also. My guess is an Andy Martin Maserati Birdcage and a Scale Kraft Kaiser by Guido Fieuw from South Africa. Oh I wish Guido was still making his unusual models.

Nicely done.

Would these work for you? If yes send me a PM with your mailing address and I will drop them in the mail.

David, what a great idea! The link gives an error message but I can imaging the scene. Can't wait to see it in motion. Gary

Very nicely done.

Clever idea, well done.

Alex, When 26681 was being restored there was a request on FChat for photos from Le Mans and I sent then some I had on file. When the restoration was completed they sent me some studio photo. I have included here some of the detail photos which I received. I hope they can be useful for you.

I remember building a roadster when it was released with the rotating headlamps. Foolishly gave it to a girlfriend, dumb move on my part. The current snapper has really shallow grilles on the hood which must be masked before painting the body, learned the hard way. This is an older reissue '63 but it has the '67 backup light.
