    My 1mm has been flat for months and still works as new.

    Y'know, to me, that looks better than with the F-100 body; it just all fits and works well as a unit. Great proportions, great looking truck.

    Outstanding, Dwayne. About finished with the glass buck on this end.

    My favorite type of build; a version of a kit that didn't exist, thoughtful additions, a killer stance, and quality throughout. These builds always get my vote at the contests.
  5. Maindrian Pace
    Thanks Greg. Adding some more dimension:

    Working from a few pictures, I added some under hood detail. Starting with a sketch on paper, it was cut out and traced to sheet styrene, then that was cut and filed to shape.

    Nicest scale A12 I've seen yet, a flawless model in every respect.

    Update - reshaping windshield to fit hood contours: Finalizing fit of the hood/header panel. I want this to be perfect. Next step - adding some hood under side detail.

    Ever see one in real life? A 1:25 scale kit would look like a 1:32 scale kit.
  10. Maindrian Pace
    There are so many things wrong with the 1:1 that I don't know where to start, but probably the goofy-from-any-angle roof. Yours looks much better already, far better proportions. I also always thought that this car should really be a hardtop, not a pillared sedan.

    Engine 51, Squad 51, KMG365.

    We just got permission from Carol Holthaus to include the police hubcap/wheel package in the '90-'91 version of the kit.

    Hey Greg, can I have one too? Greg stopped by with a resin copy hood, revisions under way. It was about 1/8" thick in the middle; it doesn't have to be like that in the resin, so I thinned it more to scale.

    With two FEs and four blowers, this thing is going to have just the right amount of off the hook. Following closely.

    Nice Kid Charlemagne reference. Fit of header panel: Moving right along.
  16. Maindrian Pace
    Great job on the Edsel, nice bit of sliceology on the Skyliner as well.
  17. Maindrian Pace
    Yes, Modelhaus wheels and caps. Second stage is the added core support/brace to shore up the front fenders and keep them in place during the molding process.

    I now have Dwayne's Crown Vic in my possession. To say that it is impressive would be the understatement of the ages. It's hard to imagine that, as Dwayne told me, it started out as a '69 Roadrunner. My job is to make the glass buck for the vacuformed glass which will be included with the kits, as well as a few other minor touches. I couldn't help but try out a set of police car dog dish caps and wheels on it... Why, heck yes. As well as do something a little scarier - cut the front header panel off to facilitate casting with no overhangs to lock it into the mold. Dwayne gave me permission to do this, a gutsy move on his part with a master with literally hundreds of hours of labor in it. The pieces will lock together in a way that continues Dwayne's modular approach to the assembly procedure. Greg is already casting the interior and small pieces, and making me a resin copy of the hood to modify/fit to the slightly revised hood opening. Even though this will be a curbside model, the separate hood will allow an engine to be installed as an option.

    Hey, what a cool cat! And you're right, you don't see many of these 428s built; I can't remember when I saw the last one. (if ever)
  20. Maindrian Pace
    Easily the most valuable Mustang in the world.
  21. Maindrian Pace
    Nice start, I'm a sucker for half vinyl tops.
  22. Maindrian Pace
    If there is interest? Something tells me...
  23. Maindrian Pace
    That looks amazingly nice! Fun checking out things that would never have occurred to you, yet work.
  24. Maindrian Pace
    I had to look up raggarbil, found a few images. Hard to imagine some of those cars are street legal, they would be towed off over here. Every country has their own idea of what is allowable.
  25. Maindrian Pace
    Yep, this one will be popular.
