  1. Hi Bruce! What tipped me on the scale was the hinge on the side-panel... It looked too "perfect" to be 1/24 or 1/25 LOL! I'm completing 5 models at once: a lakester, a pro-mod, a Chevy-van, a custom 1926 "Ranchero", and a 65 Impala pro-touring. Hours of fun with styrene! The best to you! CT CT
  2. Hi Bruce! Great finish, I can see the California sky, goes to show... I was reading old issues of SAE lately, and I saw a spread on a spectacular Toyota 2000 GT that you completed. That was masterfull! CT
  3. Thank you Larry. The compact aspect of it made it more complicated to build that I expected, but fun nonetheless. CT
  4. Hi! I won an AMT Lola Indy car as a door prize at a show last year, and since I'm not into Indy cars, I wondered what to do with it. So... Took the floorpan and IFS, scratchbuilt a grille, and used the hood/cowl from an old Monogram Sprint car, all modified. The mags/tires are from the Lola. Scratchbuilt: interior, seat, dash, handlebars, windshield, swingarm, belt and pulley, brakes, cyclop stop, rear bulkhead, etc. . The exhaust pipes are from Testor's Smoothster. Side wings from a Revell plane, truncated. The Spyders are already very popular, might be the time for a racing program... Hours of fun with styrene! CT
  5. Hi Tim! Very nice piece, everything fits perfectly, bravo! The simple fact of leaving the splash aprons on makes it look like it is on its way to the nearest TROG beach race... maybe in Santa-Barbara? CT
  6. Hi Phil! Verrrry nice, it looks like something that could come out of Roy Brizio's shop. Bravo! CT
