  1. Thank you Sir! As I said, I have seen countless top notch executions of the EldoRod, each shinier than the other... Couldn't beat that, so,,, Voila`! CT
  2. Thank you Jeff! Actually, the hardest part was proper finishing of the F100 roof where it meets the top of the rear deck, for the last 3 scale feet at the rear. The "joint" is in a cavity created by the fold on the top of the quarter panel. Not easy to sand polyester putty properly in that notch... CT
  3. Thank you Jeremy, quite a compliment! And to say that SEMA 2020 has been canceled because of Covid... CT
  4. Hi Marty! The stance is killer! World class. Bravo! CT
  5. Hi Bill! I too enjoy seeing very detailed models on this very forum. And luckily for us, they come aplenty, don't they? To me, I don't know how to express it better than "being good for the soul." Whenever I get a chance to look at photo reports of events such as, say, the Heartland National, I get that warm feeling. Can't explain it, but it sure feels that way to me! CT
  6. Hi Bill! Sorry to disapoint you, but no, it does not. This very car was built to compete in the "delivery vehicle" theme at a regional event, and I was late at starting it. So, some details had to be dedleted to make it...Next time maybe! CT
  7. Hi Steve! Could not say it better myself. Thanks for the comments. CT
  8. Hi! Very clean and detailed. World class, bravo! Your carburator seems very well engraved/detailed? What is the provenance? CT
  9. Hi Tom! Great concept. Mopar should have used it to increase their offer with a "platform" tradesman truck. Moving the back panel forward in the same way, but keeping the box sides would recreate the Lil' Red Wagon, in a way... CT
  10. Hi Francis! I can't wait for that next gathering. Not a minute too soon. I was a bit worried that the current Covid scare might affect the sensibilities of certains... But it seems that my fellow modelers have a good sense of humour. CT
  11. Thank you David! It's my second experiment with that "distressed" look, and it confirms that this "trend" is still popular. Beats me... CT
  12. Thank you Patrick! By British standards, I believe this thing is a behemoth, no? CT
  13. Thank you Oliver! I was undecided as to do this version, or something else quite unusual I had imagined. I'll save my second idea for the next copy of this kit that I find at a right price... CT
  14. Hi! Chip Foose is a tremendously gifted designer. Let's assume that "you can't out-Foose Mr. Foose". Therefore, let's go in a totally different direction... Curbside, built with the Eldorod, with roof from Monogram's F100 panel truck grafted, lowered and fitted with shorter rear doors. Lowered stance. Cargo floor and casket scratchbuilt. Rolling stock from Revell of Germany Jag XK-120. Tamya's Linoleum brown + spray net + custom mixed tan hue, distressed & satin cleared. Home made decal. BMF where needed. Hours of fun with styrene!
