What did you see on the road today?
Big John replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Watching this year's Dakar rally, there are Not 1, but 2, Citroen CV-2, and a really cool Gulf Porsche in the Historic class! -
Marvel's Hydra coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build
Big John replied to François's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Fantastic engine work Francois, Hope to see a nice set of side covers with the Hydra logo incorporated, ala Bugatti. The can motor in the blower is a great solution. -

Just call it an 'Underslung' and you're golden! -
Very beautiful and clean build of one of my favorite cars Garry. Back in the days (early 70s) I was able to stuff a Potvin blown 427 SOHC Ford engine in one of these AMT kits. Had to notch out the foot wells a bit but it fit pretty well.

You've got a fairly short stroke there, what do you think the RPM limit would be? -
Mercedes Benz SSK
Big John replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
A while ago I acquired some of these flashlight/laser pointers with a chrome steel flex stalk that I think would be ideal for Deusy and Mercedes exhaust but don't have a comparison. The flex stalk is 4mm diameter 7cm long (.157 in. x 3" ) would they work on this car? -
Great build Lobo, it is definitely reminiscent of the 60/70s kit cars. My friend had a dune buggy with an adapted Corvair engine in it (on it?) that would make a great kit car option.

Monogram's 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept Car: WIP
Big John replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
I just happened across it on TCM a couple of days ago so it may be on a streaming channel. Typical late 50s comedy but quite a bit of scenes with the car in action. -
Monogram's 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept Car: WIP
Big John replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
I just saw the Futura featured in a 1959 Glen ford Debby Reynolds movie "It Started With a Kiss". Painted red but you get to seee the bubble top and other trick parts in action as they tour Spain in the car. -
You can't get a good old Sears catalog anymore so what are you going to do when you run out of toilet paper?

Though it is a key part of flushing the toilet!

Fantastic paint weathering. but the license plate is way to clean and neat.

One of the 3D file suppliers who sold through Shapeways was listed as TDR. mentioned often in this forum. my net search doesn't show a web site for them. They had a wide variety of products in multiple scales.
