Merci beaucoup Pierre. The color changes a bit from regular red or white, although many Ambulance of that era had that similar copper tone. Glad you like my model !
-
Thanks David. Overall, the proportions are not bad, although the front fenders are falling down a bit too much on the headlights. They should be a bit more horizontal. Same for the hood. The front and rear Dagmars are a bit large, but the door handles are way too big. Not a deal breaker though. This ambulance is so exciting that I've decide to build the series 75 Limousine that Robert also offers.

Hi Bob, thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, there is no Series 75 limousine available on the market. Decades ago All American Resin did a '59 limo but it's now very hard to find, plus it's sometime banana shaped now. I'll be thrilled to have a 1960 limo.

Hi everyone. Here's a 1/25th 1953 Cadillac Superior Ambulance resin kit from Robert Burns (Too Many Projects) that I have just finished. A "first ever" in that scale, thanks to Bob who keeps bringing on the market incredible kits. I took some liberty with the front compartment's accuray and used an Oldsmobile donor, but the rear section is scratched built and inspired by pics of the real car found on the net. Her Dark Copper tone have been inspired also by many real Cadillacs of that era wearing this pretty cool color. Decals are converted from the '59 Ambulance by AMT. Accurate hubcaps and tires have been 3d printed by a friend. Thanks for watching.

Salut Claude, merci ! En 78, la teinte jaunâtre sur le catalogue Cadillac s'appelle "Colonial Yellow" mais je pense que la vraie limousine qui est un peu plus beige sur la photo devait avoir la couleur "Arizona Beige", une teinte également au catalogue cette année là . C'est difficile à dire. Pour le kit, j'ai pris simplement la couleur "Crème", par Duplicolor.

Thanks David. Yes, a pretty long car, considering this particular one wasn't built for a stunt or a world record. I like these stretched limos, cool in a way but as nice as ridiculous. Early in the 80s, they went crazier and crazier.

Thanks Todd. She's about 12 1/2 inches long approx.

Hi guys, Here's a 1/25th replica of an amazing and unique Cadillac that was part of the German Cadillac museum's collection "Müller & Hensel" in Hachenburg. As a teen, I was fascinated by this stretched limousine conversion of a '78 Eldorado front and '76 Deville rear end. The real car was pictured in a small ad in a long gone french car magazine. I have downloaded the pictures on internet about 20+ years ago and these are the only 2 known pictures of the car. So far...( ? ) I got in touch with the museum 2 years ago to learn more about the limo, if some pics were available, if the car was still alive, who made it and when ( very Moloney style IMO), but I wasn't really lucky getting much answers. Looks like the museum have been closed recently for obscur reasons. Anyway, here's my take of her, that I have made with a 1976 JoHan's Eldorado front and a resin 1976 DeVille donor by TMP (Robert Burns). Thanks for watching, and for sharing infos if anyone knows a bit more about her.

Hi, these are a from a water decal sheet set with just crests from various scale. (From 1/43 to 1/18th). I bought some on EBay last year, from a seller called globaltoy. He offers them from time to time. Not at the moment unfortunately. The decals are great but are really modern Cadillac crests, not so accurate with 1970s and 1980s... But since this is all there is out there, that's what I am using.

Salut Claude ! Thanks for the good words, as always. I took only one pic of the unfinished interior during the process. I always forget to take more pics.... I do simple interiors but never spend too much time or detailing on them since they are not very visible most of the time anyway. Just the oversall idea. I am getting lazy with time 😜 . Here's the pic, before the installation of foot rest in the passenger cabin, head rest on the chauffeur seats, and dash wasn't finished back then.

Hello !. The latest Cadillac to enter my collection. Here's Robert Burns's "Too Many Projects" 1/25th 1971 Cadillac series 75 Fleetwood limousine resin kit I have just finished a few days ago. Done in Empire Maroon Firemist to fit the brochure/ad from that time. A unique, first ever, stunning kit to build overall, although the real cadillac had no lower body chrome trims in 1971. ( started in 1972 ). I have scratchbuilt the interior tub, inside door panels and jump seats, and accurate hubcaps and seats have been 3d printed for more accuracy. Thanks for watching.

Hi jeff , thanks for the kind words. The wheels and tires are from the kit. Dan offers full kits, with clear glasses and chassis as well. I have just added white soft adhesive round stickers for the whitewalls, since the ones provided with the kit were not larger enough.

Hi guys, Back on the forum to share my latest Cadillac, a Dan Decko's 1961 Sedan resin kit. I have built this one in Olympic White body color with blue tones interior to match my best friend's personal Series 62 Cadillac. That's a future birthday gift.... . Decko's kits are very good quality overall and fun to assemble. Hope he will be happy and that you'll like it, thanks for watching.
