You got mail Chuck.

More of Soraya... bottom one was her in the yard, top one is her cuddled up near me on the couch

If anyone has a spare Atlantis/Monogram midget racer kit &/or the Henderson Ace bike from the MPC '32 Chrysler Imperial, I'd love to have either/or. Due to fixed income/medical issues I can either trade or pay it forward. I also need an ala-carte chopper seat from a California Street Chopper or King Chopper or somesuch for my conversion of a Revell Evil Iron pre-unit Triumph chopper trike into a regular street trike. Thanks all, Andria

sadly the project ended up being relegated to the backburner, to eventually be rebuilt as a Jimmy Flintstone '59 Pontiac Superior Criterion ambulance or '59 Superior Crown Royale hearse. I could not get the roof/rear greenhouse to look or sit right.

Gonna look for that 1/32 Cord Phaeton and do my thing with it since Fred Meyer, Lowe's, etc. carry this line.

Some nice work so far! Waiting for the reissue of the 10-4 kit so I can add my own Golden Eagle decal set and build a '79 J10 Golden Eagle with a Brahma fiberglass canopy.

Current progress. This is a design I created to approximate a Miller Meteor or S&S or Hess & Eisenhardt "coupe de fleurs", but it is a replica of nothing as far as its design goes. The roofline is slightly chopped at the B-posts/raked back with Polar Lights glass up front/cutdown and recut kit supplied windshield in back & the window glass apertures recurved, the "stainless steel" rear deck is a Polar Lights Ecto-1 top cut/filed/filled to suit, with the "dutchman panel" between the rear window ledge/where the rear deck sits on made from part of the hood/cowl of the PL Ecto kit I cut up for parts and the raised portion made from a parts bin "parade boot". The dash is AMT in a Polar Lights interior tub, with Monogram Caddy parts used throughout where originals are unsuitable to my eyes. Paint color will be close to factory Gloucester Grey Metallic with a black or lighter grey vinyl top and detailed Gloucester Grey dash with Andros Blue interior.

Found an AMT Ecto-1A kit for cheap and decided to chop it into a "coupe de fleurs", aka funeral flower car. Ended up incorporating lots of Polar Lights and Monogram parts in.

Heller you say? Gonna get a 1/16 scale Citroen DS19 to build in December

264k miles and still kicking on its original head gaskets & transmission. 2004 Subaru Outback.

Al & Larry, thanks so much!

A buddy bought me a 1/16 AMT '55 Chevy Nomad since I expressed a desire to delve into 1/16 and greater. Will be here first week of September.

Woodie trim is on the outside along with a bit of chrome.

Thanks, definitely seems to be the pics

Impressive! That Nash motor is similar to a Morris Minor or Austin-Healey Sprite piece in real life, those have been swapped into Crosleys & Bantams & Nash Metros to make a surprisingly snappy performer in clown car's clothes. As it is, you did a great job of working with what's available. I have contact info for Ron at RMR, if he still has the IH D-series COE truck molds I'm intending to order one, and put it on an AMT Freightliner SD or Ford Louisville frame with a Mobius Hudson Hornet engine made to look like an IH truck engine.

mine attempts to groom me, leans in for pets/cuddling and stays close to me most of the time

thanks everyone!

Started with a horrible looking partial Revell '49 Mercury Eight woodie. A sought after kit but not able to be built stock. I stripped/washed/dried the body here and painted it in Colonial Red Gloss Rusty-O rattle can. The interior will be a combination of the dash cradle/floors and everything but the door cards and rear seat from the AMT/Ertl '49 sedan donor kit interior with the Revell rear floor panel, seats (AMT front seat may be reworked into a third row seat) and door cards/tailgate panel, chassis/interior will be standard stock '49 Mercury fare with wood trim painted in Tamiya Color Buff with brown paint marker to fill in the darker panels, headliner will be fully detailed as well, and wheels/tires will be as usual for a '49 Mercury woodie. To be continued.

Finished 1/25 scale kitbash of a '47 Ford Marmon-Herrington 4x4 COE "patina special", parts bin 4x4 truck chassis on wheels/axles/transfer case/PTO from an old Ertl Dodge Power Wagon diecast, Jimmy Flintstone Studios cab, and the balance from the parts bin or broken/played with diecasts and a scratchbuilt jib crane on the bed. I even freehanded and weathered over the Weyerhaeuser logo on both doors to create a fading labelscar. This build has been a ways in the making, gone through different iterations, finally made something I can like from it. Photos are made to look like a legitimate forest/mountain find left at a logging camp eons ago and photographed years later.

thank you!

86 degrees, smoggy, windy, thundershowers, humidity is off the charts. Feels like Florida rather than Oregon.

thanks!

understood, fair enough given that everything has skyrocketed in the past decade and a half.

Kitbashed this rendition of a "hooptie" 1975 AMC Matador Coupe together from a Bobby Allison donor kit, bits and pieces of 2 or 3 different original issue "street" or "AMT/X" Matadors given by a friend, and filled it in with a gluebomb MPC Pacer X engine from the same friend & switched the Pacer intake/air filter to Matador specification to replicate the "anvil tough" 258 six. Replicated some damage to the body, aged the heck out of interior and engine, made the paint look like original paint on a Nevada car, and rounded it all out from my parts boxes, even a 1975 Nevada plate on it.

that might have been a 1/48 or 1/32 Renwal kit
