hedotwo Posted August 26 Posted August 26 I think I found a 2010 search result that there was a resin 55 Roadmaster made by Star, but I couldn't find much else. Would anyone know if there are either the 1955 or 56 available as printed or resin? 54's seem to be common. Thanks!

I'm thinking it's a Modelhaus or All American but not positive. At least the stapled parts baggies appear to be Modelhaus. And the quality is Modelhaus-like.
Chris V Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Not that I'm aware of... Robert Burns ("Too Many Projects" on Facebook) offers a 3D-printed ´41 Convertible, '50 Special Sedanette, '52 Roadmaster HT, and a '57 Caballero 4 dr. Wagon, but he's not taking any more orders at the moment due to a backlog. 1

Somebody made a Century using a heavily-modified Roadmaster body with the hardtop roof from a '57 Olds and it looked pretty good.

Not a bunch of differences between the two it seems. Has the trunk scripting and the side chrome slashes. Other than the interior being from the convertible it's a nice kit. The interior is much too wide for the body and it's really shallow as well. I've been modifying a 55 AMT Chevy interior tub to work better by removing the door panels from the floor/package tray and trying to redo the upholstery pattern to be closer to the coupe's. I can use the resin dash as it's correct and fits (after tweaking it to sit correctly). Thanks Chris
ChrisBcritter Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I'm guessing they used the '58 Buick interior for this one; it may not fit because the body was made from a promo that had the usual shrinkage issues. I'm slowly building up a '57 Roadmaster from an Argentina-made Bichi Toys Buick that was copied from an original unwarped promo and molded in styrene; the AMT promo bumpers and trim fit it very well along with that '58 interior. There are a few of them on eBay right now, surprisingly:
