The flat parts could be cut on a CNC router, or Lazer. No need to make a mold. I just don't know an easy way to make the hinge for production. How many people would want the booth anyway? I feel the cardboard is good enough.

The Demon was listed on the round 2 website as "coming soon" a few years back, then it suddenly got pulled off.
My guess is that they got a good look at the molds and found out the cost to repair would be too much.

Cool Oldsmobile.

This awesome. I think your flag may be a bit short for Silver Lake dunes. Just kidding. What is not to like about this.

Looks like you are on the right path to me.

Only ever watch the reruns on late TV. His show could be funny at times, but stupid other times. His show is what all of the News looks like today, they all want to shock us with info.

Pat I would be very careful ordering that resin Jeep. If he does not have it in stock stir clear. Until the reputation changes.

1/24th scale is more widely popular generally world wide, so was 1/20th the odd scale mentioned?
I say odd because I think there may be more 1/16 scale kits out there than 1/20. They just look funny on the shelf next to the smaller scales. I know I am not alone in this thought as I hear it all the time at swap meets when someone picks up the 1/20 scale stuff and says how it would be better in the 1/25 or 1/24 scale. Hard to use them for kit bashing also. It is more about the number of kits than the scale itself.

I think you are building this model better than the real ones were built back in the day. I like to follow your builds; the topic education is as good as the model itself.

Their Bugatti Royale is a 1/24th scale kit as was their Chrysler Atlantic kit. Both quite nice.
Having not acquired any other Lindberg car kits, what was the odd scale they chose?
Not only were they nice kits, but also good subject matter. The only problem was the scale.

That is a nice Hall Tom. Did you put your wallet in the freezer to cool it off, when you got home?

Like Tim Boyd said we keep buying and they will keep making these. The curbsides must be more cost effective to produce.
I have a couple of the 61-63 ford trucks already. I will be buying more than 1 of these. HHMMM Maybe it is time to list what I have on ebay.......... nope they can stay here with my glue bomb warlock.
Curbside is fine as 3d printed engines are nice, and I get to pick the engine I want.

It would be nice without the section over the cab, never seen a 1:1 truck cap like that.
I agree. I have an original here and it looks as funny as the one above. I get the over the cab part just not the little, short area to climb into. Should have been a high cap all the way back. The one I have does have strips so you could store or carry thigs on top of it.

Get well soon Carl. Prayers for you and your family.

Amazing as always Charles. I remember your lessons from another of your builds on the split trucks. I guess you are going to make a split one next, right? Just kidding.

Looking good Jim.

The Polar Lights name has been out recently. I wonder if we will see a kit or 2 come back out under the Lindberg name in a few years.

Curious as I recently read some model car related Facebook posts that builders were getting some Clearance priced kits for $5.00 each at Walmart. My local store has a big "Clearance" sign on top of the available kits but they're clearance priced at $17.00 each. Should I hold-out hope that the price will eventually drop even lower?
Mark I guess if you can go in every few days to check the price you can wait.

I have been stopping by the Monroe MI Walley World store here and there to check for kits. Nothing and I have been looking sense November.
Stopped in last night and in the clearance section is a bunch of model's. The cheapest were the 13 dollar prostreet Chevy kits. I didn't grab a Nova but did grab a couple of the Chevelle kits. Most were 21 or 17 dollars. I grabbed one of what I wanted at the cheaper prices as Next time there might not be anything left. Plenty of the Coke kits, 53 F1 Fords and the 72 Chevys.
The surprise was that they had 3 of the Cement Mixers at 25 each still there. I didn't buy an of them.

Jermey there is a Pyro kit of a shortened bug convertible. It has the cut down doors and they call it a buggy. This Picture is from the Internet not mine. This is what I have in mind if I get to it.
