Oldmopars Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Let mestart by saying his is a fun little kit to do. It is a very simple curbside kit, but very well done nice kit. I wanted a very basic work car look. I removed all the trim to give it even more basic trim level. I also lightly weathered it up a bit to give it a good used look. So, no engine very basic chassis pan, but still a fun build. I plan to get at least one more, I hope the full detail kit the next time. 3
Watertown Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Lesser adorned (low trim level) cars never seem to get the love they deserve. Glad you recognized the oversight and created this homage to those great cars. Well executed, sir!
Zippi Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Nice looking wagon. I like the logo......Bill Ringer's.
the goon Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Looks great, love it. I really like the "everyday job" type work vehicles. Mark
doorsovdoon Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Very cool looking build. I really like the retro decals and everyday use look.
Plowboy Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Well done Scott! I really like the weathering you did on it!
espo Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 I like the basic look of the way you made this as a work wagon.
4mula1fan Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 My Dad had one for a Coca-Cola company car. I have fond memories of riding with him to make calls as a kid in the mountains of West Virginia. It was a tank. White with a blue interior. Might have to model one soon.
Oldmopars Posted October 10, 2021 Author Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Thank you all. Back in the 80`s my dad had a mid 60s Chevy wagon, but the larger one. It was also tan and had "Indy 500 Pace Car" decals on both doors. I'm sure it was a joke, but I still loved that car. We had a 1972 Vista Cruiser too back in the early 70s. I wish I had those both now. I love wagons. Edited October 10, 2021 by Oldmopars
Tom Geiger Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Gotta love it! I like everything about it. It's so cool that Round 2 brought this one back. And from the response they will do well, and hopefully we'll see more new issues like this in the future! PS - Does Bill Ringer fix smart phones? My iPhone needs a new glass! ?
stavanzer Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Very Sharp Build. It captures the 'era' so well. Used, but not 'abused', that car represents a whole class of vehicles that never got (or get) any love. I can practically smell the interior from here. Work cars smell different from family cars. I know, I've ridden in, and driven enough of them. Thanks for taking me back in time. Edited October 10, 2021 by alexis
