Need some help - I am looking for 1-25 scale animals for a diorama. Specifically dogs: german shepard (needed first choice), and some other types are ok. Would 1-32 or one of the smaller Train scale dogs be close in size to 1-25. Close in size is OK (just not bigger in scale). The dog needs to be sitting next to a 1-25 scale model car. Any info as to what companies sell them is appreciated. Thanks for the help.

on the bench-1957 Ford Fairlane 500 to Ranchero conversion
davysmodels replied to davysmodels's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thank you for the replies regarding the conversion of the 57 Ford. Appreciated. Hope to finish the build this week. The Tamiya paint is GREAT. Very forgiving. Levels out very smooth. I did some light polishing with a 8000 and 12000 sanding pad. Very carefully. Then "The Treatment model wax". thanks. -

THANK YOU for the comments. Appreciated. The bed is made from Evergreen ribbed plastic sheet (several attempts and cuts to get it correct after tracing the inside dimensions). The wheel wells covers inside the bed made from plastic sheet (again a few tries to get the size correct). The tailgate is one piece-custom modified with sheet plastic and lots of putty. The bed was actually easy. The correct roofline and side posts of the roof were hard. Had to use several pictures for reference. davys -

cruzn/Dwayne, The '55 Revell box top design is one of the all-time best. Any chance you could post pictures of the boxtop sides and end panels. Thank you. davys -
