  1. Nicely done. Cool idea.
  2. Very cool. Love it. Well done.
  3. Stunning model. Hopefully I will get to see this in person.
  4. I agree you want to keep it looking like a modifed little red wagon rather than a whats it. You've got a lot of body work ahead. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
  5. Any updates on how Gregg is doing?
  6. Learned something interesting from the quiz as usual. Couldn't find the car but always see some interesting cars in my searches. Thank you for taking the time to provide another interesting quiz.
  7. My first impression was that its a model. I say model.
  8. Interesting project.
  9. Just a thought but if those scans are good enough I wonder if it would be possible to use them to cnc the wood carvings that were destroyed in the fire.
  10. Besides a note in post also use report button with a notation that the post may be deleted by the mods.
  11. Very cool bit of history. Just curious did the ebay seller identify them as magazine build ups?
  12. Love the idea. Will be watching.
  13. Wow super nice work. The parts you changed really improve the model.
  14. Personally the Corvette has done nothing for me since that were copying the look of the Ferrari Modena. To me Corvette has turned into the poor man's Ferrari. In fact once day out driving I saw at first what I thought was a Corvette but realized it was a silver Ferrari Modena.
  15. Cool. It was great that you saw them and recognized them. Some great modeling history. Thanks for preserving it.
  16. One thing that neds to be taken into consideration the older toolong was designed to support one version of a kit. If that was to be changed then that tooling had to be irreversiblly modified. Newer tooling Revell 32 fords, 57 checy , and 57 ford were all designed to allow different versions by changing the body segment of the tooling. The multiple version tooling is a necessity becuse of the much lower volumes being produced.
  17. Wow very nice work so far. Great concept.
  18. Looks like we are close to getting enough for round 3. Snake are you going to srart another thread or use this one.
  19. Dan if you do another shifter or some other project please do a wip. Would love to see your process for building one.
  20. Amazing. How many pieces does it have? Talk about treating every part of a model as a model..
  21. Cool project. Looking forward to seeing it done.
  22. Ok I'm in for round 3. My candidate is an AMT chopped 5 window 32 ford. This is about 15 years old. All that remained from the original project was the body, fenders, and modified frame. Parts added to finish up are AMT 32 roadster grill shell, radiator, and grill insert. Interior will be from fantom vicky. Rear is from wagon rod. Still need to make decision on front axle. Have a flat head from an AMT 50 Ford convertible. Still a few more parts choices. Looking forward to getting another done.
