Hey, look who showed up for the dance! I like it already Zen. I've always hated those wheels but I think you found right project to put them on, they're perfect. Looking for more.

That bed looks like it came with the kit. Very nice all around.

That's hilarious. I laughed out loud. Showed it to my girlfriend and she thought it was disgusting. Sooooo, well done my friend.

Aside from it looking hot, I too am surprised you could do that level of detail in a day. Excellent.

Gettin' flashy all of a sudden, eh Chuck? Well it almost shines. Great choices on your selections from the coupe kit. I really like it.

Yeah, sounds like there was another game at play here that had nothing to do with reviving old kits.

One I've kicked around for a couple years... Cannonball Place to Place - Any car named after a physical location, be it planet earth or otherwise. When you think about it the list is almost endless. Plymouth, Pontiac, Mercury, Riviera, Torino, Galaxie (sp), Saratoga, Talladega, Daytona, Bonneville, Lincoln, Bel Air, Corolla (NC), Fairlane (TN), Mustang (TX), Eldorado, Fleetwood (Lancashire and GA), Vega, bays, deserts, isles, mountains, planets, (streets?) etc, etc. If you have a model you want to build but are unsure if there is a locale with that name, type it into a mapping or weather site and see if the name comes up. The down side is it would almost be as broad as the "anything goes" theme we're just coming off of.

Nice work Dominik. I like this pic. Cool looking engine with the rest of it.

It's such an unusual subject that you may be better off that it's a curbside, since its dramatic look might overpower any engine or chassis detail you'd add. It's been suggested putting the Ferrari 308 chassis under it could give it detail and should fit, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Such a strange subject but that's what this thread is about and you're off to a rock solid start. Nice work Tim. Looking forward to more.

That's a very clever idea and I like it. Problem plagued though and I'm skeptical it would play out as envisioned but it would be fun to follow.

No takers? "The Immortal" starring Christopher George. He was a test car driver with blood that made him immune to all known human diseases and was pursued by bad guys who wanted his blood for immortality. Ran two seasons I think.

I always make that mistake. Decent show, tried to get involved for a while but it moved too slow for me. Loved the real life vet care they showed.

Green '73 Pinto Squire Wagon. It's what we got to use in high school and while we lived at home. Say what you want about the engine, I've said it myself, but it was a beautiful car that handled quite nicely and a great hauler. Just couldn't get up hills. Sentimental value. (Disregard the grossly out of scale dude loading that giant car.)

"The Prisoner?"

"All Things Great and Small" (BBC?)

"Stingray."

A test of your '69-'70 TV knowledge. The actor you might get, but what was the show and why is the car in this picture? (No imdb-ing)

As beautiful as the whole thing is, the wheels really give it that ring of authenticity.

Tim, yes, that qualifies perfectly. In fact I have that one that I was considering myself. But go ahead and do yours. There are many, many (too many) other ideas I'm just as happy to pursue if and when I can. I'd love to see this particular kit in its finished form. Danny, with the addition of the Gundam parts, yes the Ford GT qualifies.

X2. The glass dome, the pushbuttons, I'm a big fan of the whole retro futurism. Glad you posted those.

That's yours Niko??? I'm SOOOOOO jealous. What a beauty!

If what you're saying is completely correct, there may be deeper issues here that will require patience and understanding... like southpier said, dementia, alzheimers, stroke? Even if he's getting too unreliable to keep track of his own meds that can result in behavioral changes. Though there's obviously pre-existing tensions, see if you can find a way to check his health.

Wow, you really did it. I've never seen that before. Looks like a lot of work but worth it if you want shiny cement.
