    Modeling is a diversion from other things in my life instead of the other way around, so a slump for me is being busy with the myriad minutia that keep me away from the bench. That makes modeling particularly rewarding when I do get back to it. Focusing on it too much waters down the enjoyment.

    I think that their target audience was just not that picky when these were originally tooled. Today's modeler is more experienced (old?) and has access to much better and much more reference material. For that matter, why were 1970's American 1:1 cars so poorly built? I just don't think most people knew any better.

    Hub caps. Everything now has multiple styles of wheels from the dealer. Mass produced individualism.

    Avidly watching this build as I will be attempting something similar at some point.

    Well...it is 05:00 in the morning...maybe after they've had some coffee. (joking)

    Love this! Excellent workmanship too.

    Oh, OK, thanks. I assumed the letters on the bumper were actually engraved.

    OK, apart from the fact that this whole diorama is amazing, how did you make or acquire that bumper? Oldsmobile is dead. Long live Oldsmobile!

    I used to think T-birds were chick cars when I was younger. Seeing customs like this changed my mind. That, and I'm old enough not to care what anyone else thinks any more.

    Nice! I love to see these little A bodies get some attention. I dabbled in A bodies for awhile.

    Very nice! How did you mask the flames? You've practically built an entire well thought out model in the time it takes me to decide which pants to wear.

    The new interior looks much more "real world". I could imagine seeing vinyl that color on a 1:1 car. Nice job!

    This sure brings back memories. 30 years ago I had a nearly mint 1971 CB750 Four. I bought it at a garage sale for $500...if only I'd kept it.

    2008 Polaris Ranger 500. Part toy, part work horse. 1981 Suzuki GS1100E. All toy.

    Outstanding! Two different stances? Bags?

    Looks great! Too pricey for me to use regularly though...

    It's the Great Pumpkin! Really great build.
  18. redscampi
    Outstanding build! Good choice of color and de-badging. I'd drive it.
  19. redscampi
    Really looks the part. Nice work!

    While personally not a fan of airbags (a by-product of my age and upbringing) this truck is absolutely amazing. The patina is spot-on.

    This one. They show up on Ebay from time to time but I've never been able to rationalize the prices enough to go for it.

    This was my second car exactly in this color with parchment interior. I bought it for $700 and a junky 64 Dodge. Now I can barely get a kit of this car for reasonable money... Yours is beautiful by the way.

    I worked on this 1954 F100 for a couple of years before I ended up moving cross country and sold it due to logistics. I also sold my Firebird and Lemans. Many projects before that. I'm older now so just have this 66.

    Wow! That looks real.

    I missed this comment earlier. I read the Gap Cycle when I was a teenager and it was amazing to me at the time. I then read The Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Through. Loved all of it. It was so different than Asimov or Bradbury.
