I see the model has JUST ARRIVED over at the Model Round Up, and it looks like an absolute gem and great canvas for paint. Does anyone have pictures of this beauty they can share, what comes in the box, that is? Thank you.

Great job, and it makes me want to build one too, which is how this is supposed to work on this forum. You feed us this kind of eye candy, and we get inspired. THANK YOU!

Donn, both the Revell 49 Merc and the 41 Willys are sweet models, but yes, the interior is hard to see, although I always shoot pictures of the interiors before sealing them in the body. Of course, having said that, I've built quite a few of both topless or with enough of a sunroof on there to be able to enjoy the interior. I betcha that paint job has to be eye-popping in person.

And hungry too, I bet. Nobody eats like the young! Us, older folk, well our stomach start to shrink after a while.

Thanks, Skip, I'll look it up. I think Anthony Bourdain also had something about them recently.

It's definitely one of my favorite kits, Donn, and clearly you've done it justice by hitting another home run with it.

I have a good candidate for a future project right here:

Another builder who should consider, after all this hard work, finding a company to make copies of this one. Fantastic, keep it going.

You are definitely on fire with these Hudson, Chuck. I think you've single-handedly bought out the store. Which is great for us. Keep feeding us the eye candy.

It's never too late to do one, Christian.

Ira, here's something you should consider since this body is turnout out so beautiful. I wonder if you should talk to the folks over at Jimmy Flintstone or The Modelhaus about doing a mold of this one so it's available on the market. I think it's a great vehicle and the body's coming along so well. Just an idea, my friend.

Thanks, Hollywood, and yes, the STORY is the driving force behind all of this. And there are some great stories being told here. AND, I can't wait for you to add your story to the TZH SQUAD caravan!

Dave is right, both lines of weathering products will provide you with endless hours of fun and possibilities. Here's a build done with MIG PRODUCTS: And here's one done with AK-INTERACTIVE PRODUCTS:

LOL, Harry, I think you are right . . . and Tom, sometimes all it takes is a single image to really set them off in the wrong direction!

I really like the insulation idea. Very cool, and I am sure it makes for a great photo op!

Dannyi, I remember this one. It's still looking great and what wonderful inspiration. Jeff, I hope you get started on yours after a few rounds of research. I love the reference pictures you have . . .

Dale, I am noticing that indeed very young people (lots of artist types) gravitate towards these kinds of eateries. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

Looks like the same design team that has been doing the Volvos, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and so many other uninteresting looking cars.

Love it, Ira . . . you got the right decals on there an now it's got Pizzazz!

I say give it a try, at least this way you will find out.

The skill level here is through the roof, Rom. Great eye candy, my friend.

The Old Man strikes again:

Beautiful model, well done.

Remember, if you run across an interesting one share the picture here . . . Thank you.

Beautiful work, love it. Thanks for sharing it here.
