Beautifully done Tim , looks great in silver and black ! I built a couple of these when they first came out . . . I was maybe 14 or 15 and yes they were a challenge but maybe we didn't know any better .

1/12 Scale American Torq Thrusts?
TooOld replied to Dan Hay's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
forward_resin on ebay has American Torque Thrust wheels in 1/12 scale . I've been buying from Casey for years and the quality is A+++ ! Casey was a moderator here for years and is still a member so he's always easy to contact . https://www.ebay.com/itm/324228748402?hash=item4b7d8a1472:g:YAsAAOSwesVbPpuH -

Thanks much Dave ! I've seen your posts urging Atlantis to reissue the Honest Engine , I sure hope Peter listens and that they discover the molds are in their possession . -

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 !
