On wheels, one thing I learned on this forum is to dare to use different types of glues, thanks to all who contribute. The MPC's axles are very weak so there will be a compromise with support. If I build another one, it will definitely be brass wire in the axles.

Lots of masking and little painting.

How cool is that? I give a big extra plus for the CAR CRAFT sticker. It must have been a wonderful time.

Regardless of the scale, agree that four doors are a winner. The original edition of Revell's Ford Sunliner was a 55a, such a backdating of the the would be something. I am open to building everyone in the series.

Nice build, very nice and this picture was incredible, it would not have been as good with a sedan.

Hi Kurt All your knowledge of is gratefully noted. Ahead of the release, could you not consider writing something a little longer about these pickups ?

Great glass house, glad you're back, I've been keeping my eyes open for updates on your cool project.

Simple or not, the idea, the feeling beats most of what has been molded after these. Actually, these are the facts, the correct answers to the question which cars are the coolest.

Exciting, I really like the position of the front wheels, it gives the car confidence.

Any day now I'm going to make a fixture in solid Plasticard and install a quality Pin Wise so I can rotate for instance rims when I paint them, any day now...

Crack magnifier, sometimes better than a caliper. Not cheap as measuring instruments are a real material sport but I really felt I wanted one when I saw one. It is millimeters. It's certainly not motivated by my ability to build model cars but the urge was great and I've actually gotten a lot of use out of it.

Never put together a dream team, their egos take all the power from the task.

Hello Alan Fantastic build, nice to know who built it. I just like many others saw the latest episode of Model Car Muse on Saturday morning and saw once again this amazing diorama, a couple of button presses and my iPad had a new background image 🙂 Does anyone know if there is a list of the cars in the diorama, who built these and maybe even something written about the building ? Finally, your roadster is really amazing and that it is so nice after all these years.

Assuming you are working with white primer or painting without primer on white plastic, you can try painting the cables black first and wiping off excess paint with a cotton swab or brush dampened in Tamiya Lacquer Thinner before painting with the body color. When the paint has dried, the black shines through and it is enough to paint a little black gently on the cables. I sometimes fill in the door gaps with black or gray or a darker shade before painting the body. try Google ”pre shading”.

So hot and humid that I'm inside tinkering with parts for future projects.

Great build and very generous of you to share with us how you did it.

Building AMT classic 32s is a stable subculture on forums and Facebook groups, Round2 should see the intangible value in this and reissue these.

AMT 1963 Ford pickup, box art is lets say it don’t give the car a chance but the kit is super.

Circumstances have led me to have several projects started but now the conditions are better and the plan is model building day and evening. Many thanks to NOBLNG for the tutorial how to make window cranks and door handles.

Yes yes yes, I have to wake up this build. This tread is wonderful, Thanks !

There is actually an ounce of truth deep down in history that justifies a reasonable stash, I remember the 1990's when I could only buy AMT 49 Ford, Mercurys and GMC step side at the local hobby shop, the rest were obscure Revell and Monogram. Today with Round2, Moebius and new kits from Revell the situation is different but the trauma is there deep down.

Great build, I like the stock stearingwheel, heritage and history !

Plumbing truck, stylish to drive a near-classic.

Nice build, After the owen cleaner, Tamiya lacquer thinner take the undercoat away over nigth. I put a chromed part from Round2 directly into Tamiya's lacquer thinner and after 18 hours I just had to brush it lightly with a toothbrush and the chrome flakes flew like light snowflakes. Now I will skip the mess with my decanted oven cleaner as long as the crome part fit in the thinnerjar. I have stripped old Monogram and new Round2 overnight and even a couple of nights without problems but you should probably test with a piece of the sprue to be sure.
