Repstock

Great looking model! There was a strip of chrome on top of the doors and front fenders that AMT didn't see fit to add to the kit.

Not 1/25, but almost...

Every little bit helps...Thank you!

I'll be there with the gang...but no entries.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I had a '76 model. I had the bench seat, but the interior pattern is identical to what you show. I built a model of my old car:

If anyone has pics of the underside of this, or a similar Winnebago, I would be most grateful. Anything would help. I've got references for everything but underneath. I'd like to see what the tanks and plumbing (etc.) look like in place.

The GMC: I need to finish the bucks for the windshield and rear window. Assuming I don't add rivets, the body could be ready in a few days. I expect any day now to have someone 3D print one, and render mine obsolete.

Progress has slowed due to other projects, but The wheels and engine have been added. Wheels are 1/24 monogram, tires are 1/32 tractor/trailer tires, and engine is from IMC Dodge with modified automotive transmission.

That was one cooold show!

Looks to be the same as Molotow. Reflective ink marker.

I like it! Very cool!

I have no idea. They didn't tell me when they did it, and they didn't tell me when I appealed. I don't leave political comments online at all (although I'm happy to do it in person). Near as I can figure, and this may be wrong, I didn't use Facebook enough. I'm told there's a minimum standard of usage (?)

I'll be there...

Still not feeling 100%, but well enough to start pressing on. I got some more detail on the front and back ends, made a (removable) roof. I've got the frame started. I need to build the engine so I know how to make the front crossmembers for it.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. I've picked up some sort of sickness and it's really knocked me out. Hope to get back on this and provide updates soon.

Still iced in so I finished the front end. Now I need to detail out the back.

I got my .030 square rod for the grille area, and I got iced in by a winter storm, so I worked on the front end a bit.

I had to order the strips I need to make the grille area, so while I wait, I've gotten a few small things done. I've added the raised floor for the driver's area, made the windshield frame, and cut out the "glass" for the windshield and rear window. Not much, but still moving forward...

I got a bit further. The back didn't give me too much trouble, but I had quite a few missteps on the front "eyebrow" portion before I got it right. The floor is kind of fictitious up front, but I need that front "point" on the floor to get my front end angle set. It'll look OK when viewed from beneath, and the front of the floor will be hidden as the driver's area is raised above the main floor. I appreciate everyone who has been following along, I hope this has been worth watching. I intend to describe how I did certain things, but then I get in the zone, and don't want to stop. At this point I think I'll stop and hang out with the family.

I'm a file and sandpaper guy, so everything's by hand. I'd love to have the mini machine tools, but I have neither the money nor the space. I do have a trick for the window frames which I'll add once I create visual aids. Thank you for your kind words.

I'll be hanging out with the Missing Link crowd, as usual.

Going for sure.

The glass for the sides is done. I've got it covered in tape for protection. The "glass" is .060 Plexiglas, so the optical clarity is outstanding. The window frames form a ledge that the glass lays on from the inside. When I make the interior walls, I'll make the window openings the same size as the outer frame openings. As the glass is the same thickness as the body sides (.060), the glass will be trapped. No glue needed. I'll probably flow some Future, or whatever it's called now, around the edges to tack the glass in place before trapping it. I notice I missed some lower side detail, so that's next.
