Coming up this weekend.... BlizzCon 2022 in Columbus, Ohio. https://www.ipmscolumbus.org/blizzcon2022-whereandwhen/

It's great to see this one built. I remember seeing on the shelves and always passing on it.....bad move. It really needs reissued.

Stunning.

I might have one of these in my stash....I'm enjoying seeing this one put together.

I absolutely love the detail pictures of the body mods. I always use tape and can't say I'm typically happy. I'll have to try your method. Mike

The Perry's grill looks so much better than Jo-han's. Perry's also had the four door Taxi body for Gapp and Roush.

I'm impressed by the builds in this thread. Truly inspirational.

I'm glad there were bidders who respect the art of this car.

Looks like you parked in the wrong part of town. Inexcusable.

The Unimat 3 was discontinued when the Unimat PC was introduced. The PC was a nice machine with some weird idiosyncrasies. The PC was designed as a hobbyist lathe that could be easily adapted to CNC using Emco's proprietary software. It was rather pricey. Overall the PC was a more robust machine than the 3/4. The power feed was very well engineered. The biggest failing was a bespoke VDO motor that was nearly impossible to swap for another motor. The Sherline blew it away in the marketplace. The Unimat 4 was pretty much the same lathe as the 3 but introduced after the PC pretty much failed in the marketplace. If I remember correctly, the 3 was made in Europe and the 4 in Taiwan. It is disappointing the PC failed. It was a very nice piece of equipment that with a few engineering flaws.

I have not used it but have seen others use it for bodies of 1950's rods and earlier. Gives a nice low level shine that seems more appropriate to that era than some other paints.

There's so many nice things here. The engine looks like a stock Ford installation. The wagon conversation is also very nice.

Moebius has quickly become one of my two favorite kit manufacturers.....just need the gasser released.

It would have been interesting to be in the meeting where these were discussed. "So we've got 10,000 Wynsjammers molded up but no one is buying....What can we make with them?"

I think the weathering is very good. My eye is drawn to the transmission......looks dead on.

The paint is very nice.....the metalflake looks in scale. Great job.

Where's the model? If not for the background I'd think it was a nice restoration. I'm curious about what you considered rubbish.

On thinner material, the classroom paper cutter would work. I'd be worried about the blade deflecting which could be dangerous if you try to force it. Tempering the brass would be good idea no matter how you approach it. I think the idea of scribing the brass may be the best approach. You could use a utility knife to make the scribes. You want to make the scribe deeper than you think you need. If you try to break it before the scribe is deep enough you will simply bend the metal.

The Charger is the old PL Charger that had several decal versions such as Mr. Norm, Hawaiian and Super Chief. The Monopoly cars were originally Road Runner and Wylie Coyote from MPCs old days.

Nice build. I appreciate the interior. Not sure what other donors are out there to replace AMT's AF/X interior. Nice improvement over the stock piece.

Not what I'd expect to find here......looks wonderful. I'm impressed with the details I'd never expect to see modeled. I can't really point out any "best" part. Great scratch building.

I saw this in person at a show in 2019. Pictures don't do it justice.

Moebius is one of my two favorite manufacturers at the moment.....
