Wheelman, that Edsel rocks!

Be it pickup, coupe, convertible, or woody, I suspect they are all hinged the same.

Wow! That is great! Not the kind of truck we would expect to see in scale plastic.

Nice! VERY nice! When you say "new", are you referring to their "One Shot" line of spray paint?

Probably the most over the top thing I built would be turning an Edsel into a MIR Space Station

I WANT! What a great companion piece to the Monogram early version 2D!

Both awesome! What kit did you use for the Humvee? Looks like canvas doors and rear canopy, unlike the Revell kit.

Great job, Mike!

Quinton, welcome to our asylum. What you are looking for there is the Franklin Mint 1939 Duesenberg Coupe Simone, in 1/24 scale. It is a "phantom" deco car, there is no 1:1 version, afaik. I wish I had bought it back when I was able to. Don't know if it is still in production. If you put "Duesenberg Coupe Simone" into a Google search, you will see other photos.

I vote "real".

Dang, that's nice! Good job Terry. But... I see red... I see white... are you sure there is orange and yellow in there?

That would be neat to park next to this:

Why not go to a model event, such as a contest? There is always vendors who are more than happy to sell kits, often at good deals. The Southern Nats are in Smyrna, Ga. on 11/13, and it looks to be a less than a four hour drive for you from what I can see on Google Maps. While you're there, enter a model or ten, and support our hobby! If you want to go real long distance, there is an event in Norfolk, Va on 10/23 by the Tidewater club. All this info is from the "coming events' in the model mags section.... that's the best way to find out what's happining out there. I also concur that shopping on-line works as well. Good luck!

Hurst / Challenger! Great job! Do you have a link to Mikes Scale Speed Shop?

Thanks Mike! I'll plan on a 1/2" PVC pipe frame. Maybe I should use the backside of a poster for the backdrop?

I need an indoor photography setup; I have always been intrigued by the PVC pipe frames for the clamp-on lights. Can anyone suggest what works? I have seen the store bought ones, I would rather make my own “studioâ€. What size pipe? Two, or three clamp lights? What type bulbs?

Yeah... that's a knockout punch! Just enuf eye candy. EXIT sign... *~grin!~*

They do have a two-door Charger. It's called Challenger. Most everything a two door Charger could do, the Challenger does. Now about using the "Charger" name, that's a different story. It really deserved a different name.

Well, if you think of "ugly" as in overall detail & quality, I would say this Hudson Hornet. It was slush-cast from an old Banthrico promo, I believe. I think it was cast by the name of Sam Miller. I think parts of the body are over 1/4" thick. What you see is what it came with, plus a slab for a chassis.

RMR does "Scrape"! Scrape made a big splash back in 1998. Since then it has been in shows, magazines and advertisements everywhere you look. These shots were taken at the NSRA Nationals in '98. The chopped top and the lengthened rear fenders are the most obvious modifications to the Lincoln Zephyr body.

I voted "model"; hard to tell one way or another... and Harry is good at photoshop on backgrounds, etc.

And on a related note, never use the url direct from the internet; always upload to the photo host site first. Otherwise, the photo will magically change to a different photo all by itself! So now I fixed it!

Well I, for one, am going with the conspiracy theory! It's those commies, I tell ya!

I am sure they have one, no, several other "Bumblebee" cars. In most TV and movie productions, there are always backup vehicles if such vehicle is a main player to the story. Only question is, where? On the D.C. set, or out in L.A?

Woo! Slowbuild, take it easy Slowbuild, take it easy Slowbuild, take it easy Slowbuild, take it easy I'm in the mood The rhythm is right Move to the music We can build all night Oooh Slowbuild Oooh Slowbuild, take it easy
