Beautiful Europa , great job Mark !

Here's my version of the Tom Daniel Honest Engine , I always wanted to build one like this and really enjoyed it ! It's built right out of the box with only a few modifications as follows : 1 – Relocated the headlight to allow adding the record label . 2 – Added two flags to the front . 3 – Added a small chain to the whistle . 4 – Opened the coal tender so I could add the instruments . 5 – Mounted a custom bass drum skin in place of the parachute . It's painted in a Red-White & Blue theme using Tamiya rattle cans . I used gold foil from a Revell Lunar Module kit and printed some custom decals for the stars , nameplates , woodgrain , and Grand Funk goodies . The drum kit was made from scratch using sheet plastic and coated wire for the stands . I was also making some guitars and mics until I realized it was getting too crowded in that tiny car ! Thanks for looking , I hope you like it !

Very sharp looking Woody , maybe the nicest build of this kit I've seen ! I'm not really a fan of 19"-23" wheels but those look really good on this . . . Well done !

Nice job lowering the suspension ! I've lowered the rear that way but can't remember how I did the front , really like your idea and will try it in the future . Those slicks from the parts pack might be smaller but they do look great ! -
Great job on your '53 ! Lots of great detailing and very cleanly built !

Thanks Steve ! Thanks much Larry ! Thanks Gary ! -
Well done John ! Black with red interior always was a favorite of mine . You are not alone . . . fitting the windshield/dash/interior is a common problem .
