Looking good. Something about the Chevy styling that makes it look so "formal" compared to a Ford of that year. It's a beautiful body style. This project is really showcasing it.

Some truly outstanding cars shown here, and thank you for taking the time to photograph and post. Hard to pick a favorite, I just love old cars! The level of craftsmanship on these cars overall is impressive.

Great looking color for this classic. Beautiful display of a very realistic model. Well done!

Very cool build, and I'm super impressed with the yellow finish of the plastic. Most colored plastics seem to be too translucent, and so look like...plastic. This looks quite opaque, which is even more impressive considering that yellow pigments in general can be sort of weak. This looks just fine. Great work, and just a fun concept.

It fought you, but the car now looks FANTASTIC! Classic lines, clean build, and the wheel/color combination give it the '70s hot rod vibe that I remember as a kid. Great job on a classic kit.

The wagons were all essentially Ford from the cowl back, with minor changes to the tail light area and rear hatch details. The fenders should have a body line (I see now you sanded that out with the chrome trim) that sweeps back to meet the line in the Ford door. The tail gate bottom half was also unique (outer skin) between Ford and Edsel due to drastic differences in tail light designs. Later models used exactly same gates with different chrome trim separating Ford and Edsel, strictly a cost-cutting measure. All the Edsel station wagons were built in the Louisville, KY Ford plant.

SO cool! Great job for a 12-year-old on that surviving kit, and the new one looks very nice as well. What I wouldn't give to have saved some of my models from back then.

You've got the beginnings of an Edsel Roundup going there. Cool project. The Roundup's trim could be replicated relatively easily with some small half-round styrene strips, or build it "cleaned up". Looking forward to seeing what you do with this, got my own stalled Edsel wagon project I fight with on occasion, a 4-door '59. https://gaukmotors.co.uk/motorpedia/car-make/edsel/roundup-1958

Very best of luck, cause this is just cool!

That's actually the parts from Monogram's "Paddy Wagon", a Tom Daniel design kit, and it was done in 1/24, more or less as was Monogram's way. Besides the name, it has nothing in common with the 1/25 MPC Paddy Wagon being built here. The name causes confusion, as almost everyone knows the TD kit, but the MPC is rarely seen.

semi axles = spindles Your build is coming along nicely. I like the scratch-built tubular A-arms. I'll be following along!

I really like your color choices on this, both inside and out. Interior has a "genuine leather" look to it. That dark red/burgundy is just NICE! What paint/color did you use? Cool build. Love this body style, makes me miss my '64 Falcon.

Green is pretty, for sure, but there's nothing wrong with that yellow; that is a sharp Aventador. Very clean build, and sits just right. Excellent job.

Outstanding color choices add so much to the attitude of these rides! Both are simply perfect hot rods. Well done.

Great looking build, and your color mix worked out especially nice. I've got a couple or three of these in the stash, purchased mostly for their underpinnings, but it does build up very nice on its own as you've proven. Very popular body style, Lindberg, Revell, and AMT all offered some variant. There was an excellent comparison build-up of all three in the now-defunct-other-magazine. I believe it is possible, by mixing and matching, to build every possible version of this truck: short, long, wide, step-side, 2WD, 4WD, etc. As always, nice photography work here, too! Well done.

Fantastic build with a keen eye to detail. The finish is just beautiful. That Tamiya pearl green is becoming a favorite of mine, as I've seen so many models on here that it looks SO right on!

NICE! I love the appearance of the blue interior. What paint/color did you actually use?

Very cool build, and the color is just beautiful.

Very good use of the old Monogram kit; the finished product belies its humble origins. Well done.

I see it now! Wicked boats, as is your model! Thanks for the clarification.

Hadn't seen this one before, that is some exemplary weathering and scratch-building there. Is there a thread associated with that project?

Nice! Cool and fun project, this with the truck. Well done.

Beautiful. Love the engineering and imagination.

Hilarious! Is that a rudder up FRONT? Don't make any sudden adjustments! Fun stuff, and well done.

Not bad at all! You captured the feel of that Suyata kit just fine. Fun stuff, and well done.
