robertw Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Well done. Love to get out of the box sometimes and do something nutty. Have both the Flintstone car and the Jetson vehicle in my display case but have never thought of doing up a car. I do have the Homer car that Polar Lights did some years back but haven't decided to whether to build or save it as a collectors item. Again well done.

I always vote "build it," you can still keep the box as a background display to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I probably will build it one day but the Jetson was built in '21 and I try to build a variety of modelling themes each year so it will probably be a few years before I get around to the Homer-mobile. I also have the Snoopy and His Sopwith Camel built up for my Odd Ball collection but the a/c is painted in the markings of Canada's Aerobatic Team the Snow Birds. I'm a Canadian and their home base is only about a hundred miles from where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice! Same here, my subjects are all over the place so it sometimes takes a while for me to get to certain builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 That is unbelievably cool! The Jetsons and Flintstones too... Just, wow. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is very cool. I had been gathering kits for a long time to build "real world" versions of various Simpsons cars, like Mr Plow, Moe's POS with the rubber daisies all over, the family wagon, Homers ice cream truck, etc. Since my love for the show has waned over the years they have since fallen off the radar, but I still really want to build Mr Plow (and the Plow King 😊 ) and have kits for both. You went beyond what I was planning to do with actually altering the front end to look like the cartoon car. I was just going to paint a boxy 4 door sedan pink and purple and throw in some details. Yours is a home run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Missed this one when you first posted it. Some excellent work there. Now do Marge's wagon! Or the Canyonero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is a home run! I still want to do more of these, pretty much the same want list as what you've got. The Revell Cadillac came out around the same time as the Simpson's Hit & Run game, so that became my initial push to start working and remains my unofficial checklist of cars. 2 hours ago, iamsuperdan said: Missed this one when you first posted it.

I want to use one of Lindberg's /120 scale Explorers, since it's a good boxy shape that'll be stupidly oversized next to the other cars.

If you've been trying ebay or swaps and seeing too high prices, maybe post in the "wanted" section down the board here. I'm sure someone has one of these languishing in their collection and would be willing to part with it for a reasonable sum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
