  1. There is one on ebay at this time missing parts and in the white. Good luck! Kind of a holy grail for me too.
  2. Fitness is what I tell myself Gardening helps me achieve.
  3. Type "oh heaven's to Betsy!" and everyone know what you are saying, which isn't what I originally wrote.
  4. Life is like that, just when you were about to post "Presentations on the forum can make you say WOW or can leave you pondering what were they thinking", someone jumps in front of you.
  5. Spaces are the places between my ears.
  6. Wheel around and give chase to them poor Bastards!
  7. Check out Frank Schaeffer's Old 16 Locomobile build at f1Ford48 Great build of this wooden kit.
  8. Fisheyes are particularly delicious with a little wasabi.
  9. Are we talking two crust Apple pie or single crust Pumpkin?
  10. Looking good EG, this was my take on the front spring / shock mount also from the pics we have.
  11. Unfortunately you would need to go 1/16 and then you you would have a much greater selection of WW1 engines via model airways kits.
  12. Outstanding details I love the Pipe fittings especially the reducers with that little rib and undercut on the small end just like the real ones. With the Rolls a custom roadster body would be cool. The switch actually works doesn't it?
  13. Lobster and then flounder again!
  14. What do I want to bet your lights will work too? Nice Barn Find!
  15. Interesting thread, there is also the old Red Baron by Monogram. Personally I am looking for a 1/24 scale GE J79 afterburner exhaust for a proposed Spirit of America Sonic 1. I've seen some really detailed F104 afterburners 3D printed in 1/32 or 48th but get no reply to inquiries. Hang in there. Pic for those Allison fans.
  16. Calves come between ankles and knees and are quite delectable.
  17. Oh the things we'll do just in the name of research!
  18. Rotation is what makes the wheels go round.
  19. If it were in a museum setting the truss would be black so it didn't distract from the focus of the show, if in a garage setting, most probably white to reflect the most light on the project. As in the 1:1 photos.
  20. What shade is Bugatti Blue? guess it depends on the year?
  21. kind of both mock up and orphaned project. Started this back in the late 1990s from the old Rod & Custom 'Paper Wasp' how-to article from around 1962. So much is incorrect that I am not sure if it will be resurrected.
  22. Good start on the firewall EG. Here are a few more detail photos that may help. There appears to be a cast metal part that holds the steering gears inside the cockpit. Closeup photos are courtesy of a fellow maned Tom from Carousel-1 (I failed to note his last name but am eternally grateful for his offering) Hope they help
  23. Yes, just kidding about the wicker chairs in the Bentley.? The trolley, like the rest of your build is superb in detail and accuracy.
