That definitely looks nicer than the Revell version!? I may attempt to copy your efforts James.

Vittles such as Skittles aren’t very healthy.

Well I don’t feel so bad now. I’ve never “lost” anything. All my missing parts have been stolen by Bench Gremlins or devoured by the Carpet Monster.?

AARP, AARP sounds like something that might be said by a seal.

Norm and Cliff were buddies on Cheers.

She looks beautiful Jim!? Nice tip on the antenna too. That’s something that I tend to overlook.?

That’s a really sweet looking Chevy!?

Super nice job!?

Kitten claws aren’t developed enough to do any serious harm, unlike a full grown tomcat.

Pain is something that I prefer to avoid.

The Michaels by me recently got in some Torinos, Road Runners, GSXs, Foose Impalas and more of the F150 Raptors.?

Sometimes I just have to give my head a shake.

Those look like they’re petrified.?

Thanks Guys! The wheels are from the Revell ‘37 Ford pickup.

Now that is something completely different! Well done too.?

Now that’s thinking outside the box.? It’s gotta be mostly pink me thinks.?

Sorry….It appears the seller doesn’t know what scale it is. It appears you are correct Sir.

Scotland is a place we are hoping to visit.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to fabricate some from styrene sheet? They aren’t stock, so they don’t have to match exactly. As long as the two sides look the same…JMO.

Pan fried pickerel is a tasty treat.

Beautiful…just Beautiful work!?

It’s looking real fine Bob.? I actually like the latest wheels on it.?

And one rough mockup photo. I don’t think the Viper engine is staying though?

I re-scribed the doors and moved the door line forward slightly and added a bit of thickness to the window frame. I wanted to add some stiffening ribs to the roof, so I made a pattern on tape so they are not all parallel on the slightly wedge shaped roof. I cut 1/8” wide strips from .015” sheet and glued them in place. I got a little over zealous sanding them down on my first attempt, so I wound up scraping them off.? This time I laid down three layers of Tamiya tape between the ribs and sanded them all down to that level, then reduced it to two layers of tape. To get rid of the “glued on” look, I painted all the edges with a few coats of Tamiya grey primer (in the square bottles). When dry I sanded away most of the primer, making a smooth transition between roof and rib, giving more of a stamped appearance. That’s all for now until I figure out what I am doing for a drivetrain.?

I’ve been itching to get at this one ever since I picked it up this summer. All comments, criticism, or advice welcome as always.? I decided it needed a bit of an angle chop, so I made a tape pattern and sprayed some black primer on to mark the cuts. It didn’t take long to realize that there was no way I was going to be able to get those doors looking and operating well.?I mean where do you draw the line between determination and insanity?? So I made a pattern and clad the entire inner sides with a layer of .015” Evergreen sheet and glued it in with Tamiya extra thin. I drilled the visor just because I like that look, and countersunk the backside so it doesn’t look too thick at the holes. Then I slathered on some Milliput since there was a bit of a dip at the back edge of the doors. While I was at it I filled the ejector pin marks on the interior and the transition between the Evergreen sheet and the body. A bit of sanding and it looks more like what I’m looking for.
