Looks great. I admire your patience to recover the seats.

Having trouble just getting to the site. Is this my local problem or...?

Great looking model. Love the wood. Can't hardly go wrong with these old woodies.

Hey DAX, I hope you're getting a piece of this. I found this 3D offering online. I also see that as of today there have been 34 downloads. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4167323

This is great! Fantastic work.

Geico, early on, finally figured out that there is no part of the insurance conversation that isn't dry as a popcorn fart. Everyone knows what insurance is, might as well just brand the name in a fun and memorable way. It connected immediately and all the rest followed suit.

You da man Sir Joseph. Thanks,

Sorry I missed this earlier. I'm a big fan of this series of builds and I see Pinterest is pretty nuts about them too. Keep it up, I'll be a fan. Thanks also for sharing the details about your process.

Now this is a compelling idea. I LIKE where this is going.

I hear ya on the delaminating wood finish. In this case the chipping doesn't bother me much. This is the paint I used. Slow to dry, but in a can, this was the closest I could find. The movie was on AMC recently and the spray can color looks more accurate than the screenshots imply.

The Riv interior is mostly done. The movie clearly shows a filthy dusty interior, so I grunged it up with pastels. Printing wood paneling on white decal paper is troublesome as the printing always chips at the edges. The way to go is decal printed on clear over a painted light surface. Clear epoxy was added to the gauge faces

The Road House Riv has paint. I'd like to see a tick more brown but despite the lighting here, this Rustoleum color is pretty close. I added the dent in the front fender

Really Kurt, that's one of the snazziest Ferraris I've seen in plastic in years.

Bean used to be one of my favorite Johnny Carson guests because he was so smart and an interesting conversationalist.

Nice work on concept and weathering. An interesting take on a familiar kit.

That's quite a tank. Someone could have a lot of fun steampunking the dickens out it. Great choice on the paint, I'll have to look into that.

I haven't seen all his work, but roles I like him in were playing twin brothers in "The Man From Snowy River" and also the quiet strength in Kubrick's "Paths of Glory." He was an amazing man. RIP.

Awesome model. That dash is unbelievable. I can hardly wrap my head around how you got such precise detail out of that little bit of plastic.

I like this a lot. A very savvy choice in color.

Nicely done Chris.

LAND HO! Great looking Caddy.

Having worked as TV news producer and reporter, I've never understood or appreciated the "rush" to be the first with information when the facts are still unclear, especially in radio and internet where news is more immediate. Who cares? By tomorrow, when so many more facts are in, nobody will care if your station was first with thin and speculative preliminary info. It's one thing to break a story to inform the public that something happened (Kobe's helicopter crashed, he's dead). It's another to fill dead space with gossip.

I'm slowly and quietly tapping along with the Road House 65 Riv. Chrome parts detailed. Chassis was primed with rust colored primer then given a liberal wash straight from the bottle with a thick brush. I'll do more touch up on that. I started using the wrong wash product at the back of the chassis, that's why it's pretty dense. Using reference pics from the net, I used Adobe Illustrator to help make detail decals for the dash. Rather than redraw appliances, I just cut and pasted photos of the faces. The gauges are vector. Not accurate but I made them bold so when shrunk down you can still make the out a little. Side trim panels are redrawn and vector. I've applied most of them to the interior. I'll explain the headaches when I get pics.

I wish I could help more of you guys out with parts, but I can't identify most of my loose parts.
