Copycat automotive design.
ozmodeler replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
that 'Bird was a nice design in the 90's and still looks good today. -
The MPC 1968 Olds Toronado Californian - with some modifications

Your changes improved the styling , but that "C" pillar looks heavy still. -
Nice 1 Phil. With models like that SPAM could even challenge Moebius ! LOL

Are these the best-ever, yet most unsung funny car kits of all time?

Great builds Tim. I built the Hawaiian quite a few years ago and I still enjoy looking at it in the display cabinet . I still have the Chi-town Hustler to build . -
Very nice build. ?
-
Love the color and the theme with the decals. Nice build .
-
Great build, they are a cool looking car even stock. Great setting also. Nice job mate.
-
Nice job on the chassis detail paint. It's a winner !
-
That's a sharp looking Riv.
-
Great color choice, nice build. The workshop looks cool too.
-
It's funny you mention that Trevor, when you look at the box art it looks like the concussion bar is supporting the drivers head as the slicks bite !

Thanks Craig, It was actually your "black tuxedo" little deuce that gave me the idea to rebuild the S of Ford. Perhaps Atlantis now have the molds, a re-release of the original "little deuce" would be great.

I originally built this model in my early teens, about 1972. Recently I dug it out and decided to rebuild it as it would have been out of the box. Amazingly I found some of the missing parts in my parts stash, i.e. roll bar, moon tank and a new windscreen frame to replace the original which had faded chrome.The headlight bar and lights are from the recent Revell '32 coupe as the original was gone. Far from being a glue bomb it came apart easily as my dad taught me to apply the glue sparingly with a toothpick, no need to paint strip the body as it was moulded in dark orange so that's how I left it back then. With a good detail sanding and a coat of Tamiya orange and paint and detail that Pontiac engine and 60's interior I think it looks how I imagined it would have when I first built it if only I had the skills back then. I'm still looking for the original square taillights but otherwise I'm calling it done. I hope you all enjoy the trip back to the 70's. P.S. IMHO this is still one of the most accurate 1/24-1/25 scale deuce roaster bodies.

O.M.G. I would buy several of these and the same era Buicks if they were available again. Doesn't hurt to dream !
-
Nice pun. I just finished re-building my "son of Ford "model I originally built in the 70's. I always loved this kit , the body is very accurate.
-
That's a very tough looking Lambo !
-
Well after 10 years,you certainly haven't lost your skills. Fantastic job Craig.
-
Nice one Steve, I just finished restoring "Son of Ford" I built way back in the 70's.I still love the kit and a very accurate body. The box art pic you've posted mentions Injected "boss 32" mustang engine , it's actually a Pontiac mill !
-
Very sharp. Is that a Schneider cams decal on the rear window ?
-
Great build, I love that blue !

Subscription Issues - Please Read
ozmodeler replied to Xingu's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Hi Alan' I live in NSW which obviously is on the other side of Australia from you, I subscribe to 3 different American magazines Including MCM and have not received any issues since October 2021. I have no clue as to what's going on and have only received a reply from "Modern rodding" who have agreed to resend my missing issues. Here's hoping these problems get resolved soon, as the whole situation with USPS seems ridiculous ! cheers Lou. -
Thanks for the heads up, I finally received my coupe kit yesterday and after reading your post i checked the parts and sure enough it has the small block tree with the oil pan valve covers etc. No nailhead parts. What a disappointment after a long wait. Oh well I hope Revell are willing to send me the replacement tree to Australia.
