Through the years I've actually acquired 3 or 4 original issue Monogram Little Ts in various states of glue bomb disassembly. Invariably the delicate front suspension on most of them were in terrible shape, along with glue smeared windshields. But seeing as how it was the first model car I built in my youth that I was proud of ( actually placed 2nd Junior division in a model car contest back in 1964 in Palatine Illinois ) I had to revisit it with improved building skills.

Favorite Automotive Concept Artists?
styromaniac replied to JollySipper's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just read online that futurist Syd Mead passed away in Pasadena Dec 30th...cancer. As noted elsewhere on this thread...his visionary illustrations greatly influenced our culture...was key to movies like "Blade runner"and "Tron". -

Thanks. The comments I saw were based on people's cursory examinations of online photos of Jessi sitting in the cockpit...I found it hard to believe anyone would design and / or drive something at those speeds without rudimentary safety equipment built in. ( Of course conspiracy buffs were posting all kinds of comments as to why the recent LSR attempts were up in Oregon as opposed to Bonneville....as if they were dodging more stringent requirements. That's the internet for you. )

Lot of comments on The HAMB website and elsewhere about the apparent lack of a roll cage encapsulating the driver...although I'm not sure how effective that would be at those tremendous speeds. Jet pilots at least have ejection seats that are effective at any altitude. Rocketing along a desert floor in excess of 200 mph....and suddenly going unstable...what chance do you have of walking away from that in one piece?

Nicely done. I have too ask....is this the classic been around forever AMT kit ? Or the famous re-tool? Would be interested to hear from all which '57 Bel Air kit the lovers of this car consider the best....regardless of mfg or scale.

Most beautiful cars of all time
styromaniac replied to El Roberto's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
All good...but I'm surprised no one has posted a pic yet of the classic Jaguar XKE circa 1963-64. As a little kid growing up back then one look and I thought it was the sexiest thing ever put on four wheels. -
That green looks pretty bright. What undercoat did you use?
