Love the look of this, great colour choice and the new kit's wheels/tyres are a big improvement. (I do hope you can get that window glass back up where it belongs though.)

Great to see another one from you, Carl. Love that shiny purple and the interior looks very convincing.

Very nice! And my sort of model - I think the Ford is the only 59 I don't have.

Great pics and fascinating cars I've never seen before. Thanks for posting.

Cool cars, cool photos - thanks Niko. Switzerland also has a vibrant classic US car scene.

Some lovely cars there but that Rolls with the chopped top and the quad exhaust has got to be the most grievous automotive sin ever committed.

That looks fantastic! Always loved this kit but have yet to build mine. I'd be very pleased if it turned out this nice. I'm particularly impressed with the clean separation lines between the white and blue. Is this just very careful masking, or do you have a special method?

I don't visit the Big Boyz section often (enough) but this is truly amazing work. Both sets of wheels look absolutely real. Atemberaubend!

If you like old American street scenes then this will keep you happy for a while... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/313632/21

Looks just right!!!

Beautiful!!!

Fab flames!!!

Looks great!!! I always like Ferraris that aren't red (and often those that are too).

Looks great!

Wow, what a transformation! So far, so good, and then some.

Looks like an amazing kit and if anyone can do it justice, then you. I think I can pass on the Opel myself but if ICM does that Packard in 1.24th I'll be there.

That's looking great!

Take your time, Bill. Your posts are always well written and photographed and certainly worth the wait. Quality takes a bit longer.

Thanks for the comparo, John, very interesting. The 57 is my favourite 'Bird but the problems you've pointed out always stopped me building it. Must go and tell the wife!

In the golden age of promos, the client (ie. Ford, GM etc) had the last word on wether a new tool was good to go or not. I presume this still applies to modern promos like Mustangs, Chargers etc. and I don't see complaints about these tools. But if Revell/Mobius does a non-current subject, ie. the 56 Chrysler 300, Chrysler itself seems to be more concerned with licensing than how the model will look and the model company's own bean-counters decide when it's good enough. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) And the idea that the Chinese aren't up to measuring things is absurd. Along with the Arabs, they pioneered measuring our world.

Very nice build-up of this kit, everything looks just right. The kit's delicate parts (and those you've added) make all the difference.

Love your colour scheme Steve, and going for an up top is a very cool idea. Looking forward to progress. I also have this Craftsman kit, bought some 20 years ago for similar money, I think from Hobby Heaven. It was out of a non-illustrated catalogue so I was very pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a box..... I haven't touched mine yet but it's just the sort of wierd but wonderful US design that I love, so I hope to get to it one day.

Nice replica!

Another nice looking model Jim. (Although I think I'd get car-sick in there just sitting in the drive-way (lol).)

Tom, I admire your modeling skills and your talent for presentation. Your WIPs are always worth a look.
