    I knew that Moebius acquired these a few years back. I had hoped for a quicker release of these, but all good things take time, especially in the hobby world. I have a couple of these and I certainly will get another one. I miss Gary Schmidt greatly and this is a legacy of his commitment to the hobby. He was a good friend and he always let me come around the office and hang out a bit. I also wrote and illustrated the Model Behavior comic strip in his second magazine.

    Pretty awesome craftsmanship. It's witchcraft...LOL ! He takes everything and breaks it down as seperate geometric shapes and creates the whole. I learned some new things here. I don't know if I can duplicate the work but I know Bill Geary has done stuff like this.

    Nice model. I think your passenger headlight is upside down though.

    It doesn't look that bad in my 70 year old eyes. I understand about the age thing. All in all, Tamiya kits build up well.

    This might be easy. Unscrew the screws on the chassis. This will release the bumpers and body. Glass and interior may be easy too, that depends on how much glue if any was used to secure it. The pieces are usually held on posts by little rings of plastic. You might be able to pry those off very carefully.

    Modeling tools are getting more high tech. Well, it's all cool. Hmmm, maybe the wife will let me buy one.

    Interesting way of painting still on the sprue. Will the attachment points remain hidden when assembled? It would be easier for me to paint in this way.
  8. lordairgtar
    Oh yes, you are correct.

    Coolness

    Awesome

    Even for a simple chassis, it's quite nicely detailed. Lot's of possibilities on this project

    Great beginning to a cool project.

    I like the colors, very subtle. Love the lift gate.

    Interesting point on the Revell box art. The real car in the photo did not have chrome reverse wheels. They cut and paste (the old way the wheels with X-acto knives) a picture of Jim Keeler's car whhels onto the pic. The photo was in Black and White, and if you look closely you can see they have no color at all...just grey tone. I think Jim owned a Rambler with chrome wheels on it.

    The Imperial is cool. I have a glue bomb pick up that I am restoring back to a convertible. I luckily found the cut out bits and melded them back to the body and created a new windshield from using a Dodge wagon one by carefully cutting it out and gluing it to the body. Filled in a lot of holes from where the previous builder attached the bars along the bed.

    Thanks everyone. I have the Lindberg engines and the valve covers in the original Imperial kit were chromed and the person who built it did not scrape the chrome so they came off easily. I can de-chrome them and paint. Now to find a suitable chassis for the car. Hoo boy this turned into a project.

    I am ressurecting a 65 Imperial and I wish to locate a nice 413 in 1/25 scale. I have the original kit supplied engine but its kinda messed up with glue. Is there a kit that has that engine or a aftermarket supplier?
  19. lordairgtar
    Nice little car. Did not know that existed in 1/32
  20. lordairgtar
    Nice. Good job recovering that car.
  21. lordairgtar
    All I can say is WOWWWWW. I have created things like intakes and transmissions out of styrene shapes but nothing like this.
  22. lordairgtar
    Very nice. I have not seen this out of the box, though I have seen the kit in the HS some time back. I like 1/32 scale kits but I passed this one by. I'm now sorry I did. I will have to start looking for one. The detail is comparable to the former Monogram 1/32 kits (Nova, Trans Am, Charger) as those had engines under the hood. Also the MPC kits like the Mercury LN7 and the Ford EXP. I have several AMT Scale Stars, but those have no engine detail although they look good on the shelf.

    I'm just all giddy with excitement.
  24. lordairgtar
    Need this.

    I like all the builds, but the amazing detail on the Vdub K70 blows me away because of it's small size
