    Paint is done, and decals on. Really liking the Christmas Railroad N-Scale decals. Still needs clear and final buffing. Interior is in but still needs carpet and additional small details, but at least it has the Tim Horton coffees in the holders. The control center is about done. Starting to look like a hot rod!

    This is looking great!

    Base red is done, now wet sanding and then a pearl clear. A long way from done, but closer to the big night! Santa needs his ride!

    She took 1st at a recent IPMS show in Show Rod class. People always like the wide Richard Carroll type tires for sure.

    The Dash - control center done on Kringle Cruiser is complete. And as everybody knows, have to have drink holders for your Tim Horton coffee!

    Working on interior a bit before the turkey feast! Doing the tuck and roll is so easy after ready post a few years ago from Ira Dahm about using Plastruct O-Scale corrugated siding. Time to enjoy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

    Alclad chrome over Tamiya gloss black with Tamiya panel liner wash in the recessed areas.

    Trailer done, vanity plates for Santa are a must😂. Had to get the trailer set up to add the VCG Resins frame hitch. Hood needed lots of fiddling to line up. Started on the exhaust to exit under the fender.

    awesome!

    It will get the guitar string treatment for sure.

    Working on the interior now. The front seat had the military look as it was the Rommel Rod. But if it is going to be a Hot Rod, it needs hot rod seats. And the VCG Resins Falcon arm rest looks super cool in there too.

    The trailer for the Kringle Cruiser to haul the Santa Sleigher is done. Needed this done to set the trailer hitch height on the build. The entire set up is being built for diorama class.

    Section 8 Hobbies in Elma NY is 3d printing a 68 Mustang Coupe that is very good. It's a curbside, but I picked up a couple and it's easy to open the hood and use the AMT donor for the parts. Model Car Garage Etched metal parts are a great addition. I have this build next up on the bench for a Spring Show. I will post progress build pics during that build

    I have a full pic post here in as Santa Sleigher. Great kit

    Decided that the Kringle Cruiser needed to be towing his Hot Rod. So I shortened the AMT car hauler from the drag combo kit 1 inch. Now the VCG Resins Santa Sleigher looks perfect on it. Trailer in the first coat of color and the Cruiser is in primer. Now we have snow, so raking leaves is done for awhile.

    Lots of body work. Decided on frenched 59 Cadillac taillights. Slow steady progress.

    Mock up on chrome wheels and track. Loosing the military look and leaning into the hot rod look. Tedious work on headlights to keep the ring but remove the iron cross. Always the details that take time.

    It was also mine that took 1st, and top auto overall. It was my 32 5 window American Graffiti tribute.

    Spark plug wires went pretty easy. Love when a motor has a plug rail. Looking good. Added a mesh membrane for the air filter. Mock up looks right.
  21. Silvercreeker
    The 1/2 tracks look much better with some panel liner. And the big inline 8 is ready for the spark plug wiring stage.
  22. Silvercreeker
    Yes, it's been reissued a few time. I picked this one up for 10 bucks at the RONCON show. The skeletons were removed, but I did not plan on using them, so no problem.

    Changing it up from military to what Mr Claus would want to bring to Cars and Coffee! 1929 Ford bench seat, tv, reel to reel, telephone and a cb. The tracks looks so much better in chrome, and some Christmas lights for taillights and turn signals.

    Here we go on my Christmas 2025 build! Santa must have something that can get him through the Lake Effect Blizzards we get here in Buffalo! So what better than a WW2 Half track. So it looks like a Rommel Rod is the perfect starting point. That in-line 1939 Mercedes engine is cool and some Jimmy Flintstone figures for a bit extra. Less than 10 weeks to get her done for the big man!

    The Sidewinder is done. This was built for Box Stock class and I copied the box art as close as possible. As is with Box Stock, I added nothing that did not come in the box. All body seams were molded together before paint. Color is Alclad Pale Gold. All chrome was stripped and painted Alclad Copper. A simple build to go along with the much more involved Sidewinder “Snake Bitten” built at the same time. Happy Halloween!
