I think you've done some very nice work here; it's a great looking scene, and I can't think of anything to add that hasn't already been said. Great job!

I saw there's a blue version, but I was still hoping for another off-white (or two). There's a place in North Yorkshire called Jaunty Jalopies Collectables that claims to have a bunch, but their e-mail address is no good and they've blocked contact through eBay messaging.

Thanks, guys!

Just wrapped this up, made from an '84 Corvette promo with Monogram wheels and custom stripes and plates that I drew up in Illustrator.

I always loved this era of Oldsmobiles. Very nice work, that looks great!

Awesome work, that looks great!

The kit seems to be a combination of features from the various cars used on the show and movie. The "high stripe" is accurate for the pilot episode, but the pilot car also had chrome mirrors and side molding:

Beautiful work, that looks great!

Very nice, that's looking great. Can't wait to see it "in scene!"

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, guys! I am still seeing if I can do something about the rear tires without too much drama, if I can I'll add some updated pics. It's a decal I drew up in Illustrator and printed onto clear stock, applied directly over the BMF

Beautiful work, what color is that?

Thanks, guys!

Thanks! Nothing too fancy: red primer and semi-gloss clearcoat. I think it was Rustoleum primer, but may have been Duplicolor...I tried both and used the one that looked closer to the 1:1's color.

Very cool!

Nice clean work, that looks great!

Thanks! Yeah; I wish I had used some bigger diameter rears, but I didn't want to use slicks or a modern design and Revell's '29 Ford didn't come out until after I had everything glued together and too fragile to pop apart without likely breaking things. I may try to change them in the future, but for now I'm not willing to risk it. The valve covers were from Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland, currently the only source for the vintage curved-script design.

Thanks!

Very cool, I like that new radiator placement!

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, guys!

My model of the eponymous hot rod from Faith Granger's Deuce of Spades. I started with Revell's '32 Ford Highboy, and reworked it to match the 1950s-era version of the car. Changes to the kit include smoothed hood sides; louvered hood top; filled door handles; custom taillights & parking lights; custom front badge & rear license plate; mirrors and master cylinder from Revell's '40 Ford; parts box front axle; scratch built front suspension; scratch built exhausts; wheels from Replicas & Miniatures; brakes from Scenes Unlimited; parts box tires; hubcaps & dashboard from Monogram's '32 Ford; steering wheel from AMT's '55 Corvette; scratch built horn button/ring, steering column, shifter, and handbrake lever; flocked carpet; and a small block Chevy from AMT's '55 Chevy with a custom tri-carb intake and parts box Powerglide. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

That's pretty awesome looking, nice work!

Aha! I didn't even think about Chevelles, I was concentrating on Camaros...Welly has a 1/18 Chevelle with similar wheels, so I can use those as a starting point. Thanks!

Any ideas? Kit, aftermarket, diecast, etc.? Any help would be appreciated!
