Cool restomod Boxer. I like this look with the new wheels.

I have never seen a 412 model before. Now I have seen two. One of the forgotten Ferraris.

Gorgeous Deuce and maybe the nicest out of the box built I have ever seen. Very well built.

Hi Claude - Unfortunately I did not take photos of the Vancouver Islander and Okanagan models including my own that I have previously featured in my newsletter to give you a true picture of the show. Gerry Chevalier who once produced resin kits as Mini Exotics is back at it as a retirement activity. He has a full scale Ranchero so passenger car based pickups are his favourite subjects.

Here is a link to photos from the Vancouver BC NNL style model car show. It was not large but there were some very well built models. 2024 MODEL CAR SHOW album | Phildaupho | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.

Fantastic looking livery. A BMW team should approach Jägermeister for sponsorship using photos of your model !!

Gorgeous Jorgensen

I really enjoyed seeing your whole Corvette tribe. Interesting seeing the evolution from C5R to C7R.

Great looking Deuce. Your subtle changes are very effective.

I really like this look. It's like if 1/1 the owner could afford the chrome reverse wheels and white walls which are hard to beat but still had to save for a paint job.

The Torque-Thrusts really make your roadster distinctive

Your updates are very effective in making your Deuce more accurate

I just came across this thread which got me thinking back to my three 49 Mercury builds. This AMT 49 got me back into the hobby in 1994. It was inspired by the first really cool car I ever saw cruising by as I walked home from school. It was actually a 4-door 51 Mercury painted purple. I was told it had a Thunderbird engine. I chopped the top and used corduroy for upholstery like I did when I was a kid. I got this AMT kit in a Secret Santa draw and built it pretty much box stock as a replica of the car driven by the James Dean character in the movie Rebel Without a Cause. I built this replica of the Sam Barris Merc from the Revell kit. I was blown away when the guy who installed disc brakes on my 65 Falcon unveiled the car he had been working on for 10 years maybe one of the nicest 49 Merc customs I have ever seen.

Very attractive Mustang. The color reminds of the light green first offered on the 67 Mustangs. My parents bought a 67 notchback in that shade. I didn't really care for it back then but it would be my first choice now !!

Thanks Michael for starting this. I just picked up my kit today. Once I finish a previously started Deuce 5W I am going to build a tribute to a local car I like very much.

It is great that the the reissued Deuce Sedan has generated to much interest and discussion. I just picked mine up at the local hobby shop here in Victoria BC Canada. The price was $42.99 Canadian plus 12% tax which works out to about $35US tax in. I previously built two models from the original issue both self chopped. This new issue I will be building pretty much out of the box as a tribute to a local car I like very much. There are a number of very nice Deuce Sedans in Victoria and near by. Most are unchopped and full fendered.

Fantastic looking Eagle. Makes me want to build mine.

This is the first time I have seen one of these and I like it a lot. Very cool car and a very nice model. It is worth a google to learn more - Subaru Flat-12 F1 engine !! Updated wheels were a great choice.

Awesome model of an awesome race car. Well done.

Another tour de force.

Very good looking Cabriolet. I really like your color combinations. What paint did you use for the main body? I have been looking for that shade.

Very attractive and well built

Thanks Helmut. I only saw Dan race once at the 1967 Canadian Grand Prix but followed his racing career and race teams closely. I finally got to meet him in 2006 at his All American Racers facility.

Thanks everyone. I still have nine want to build Dan Gurney related models on my list.

Thanks very much. I have been a Dan Gurney fan forever. I have a special spot in a display cabinet for models I have built of Dan's cars and a tribute to him on the door to my hobby room.
