rsmodels Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I haven't posted in quite a while as I've been busy with work and needed a new camera. I'm trying to get used to the camera but am not happy with how the color looks in some of these photos. I'll keep trying. This was a PMC toy molded in styrene, not acetate. It had no interior and no opening hood or glass and had a metal chassis. I decided to graft on the upper fender section from a Revell Skyliner. The last photo shows the piece I cut off the PMC model. The front and rear windows are from Modelhaus. The tires are original hand painted AMT's from 1959 I used the Skyliner. chrome, chassis, interior parts from 2 Skyliners and a Revell Ranchero, and engine. I made the fender ornaments. I added tailgate hinges (they were on the promos but not the styrene toy), and added the chrome trim on the tailgate (between the backup lights). I also cut the optional chrome sections off the sides of the front bumper and molded them to the body to give a plainer look. I know the interior is not correct for the Ranch Wagon but that doesn't bother me, I've also never been one to do a lot of detail on a chassis. It's partly because most of the models I build are early ones which have a fairly plain chassis. Please feel free to comment, good or bad. -Rich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmodels Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Of course I meant to say Country Sedan, not Ranch Wagon. Sorry about that. I don't know if I can edit or not. -Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm really wishing I had a PMC wagon (and a Ranchero). Thanks Al and Mike. The Rancheros and wagons come up on Ebay from time to time. Just be sure to get a styrene one (no interior or windows) if you don't want it to warp. They usually bring a pretty good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmodels Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thanks to all of you guys for your kind comments. I appreciate them. I still have a couple of Modelhaus PMC 58 Ford wagon copies that I'll build if I live long enough! -Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Beautiful looking finishes, hard to think this started life as a toy. All of the body and trim as well as the finishes are very realistic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
