The plastic in mine doesn't look as good as his, so I think the body will get paint. I don't build Porsches, and I don't build 1/16th scale, but it appealed to me anyway. ?
Tom Geiger Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) I did buy a few things at the toy show attached to the last NNL Nationals.... I'm still fixated on those old Monogram 1/24 scale Model As. I found a Cabriolet for $20 so I grabbed it for future builds. The Blue Bandito was purchased half out of curiosity to see what was in the box and half to get some restoration parts for the original Blue Beetle I'm working on now. It does have the scuba gear I will use. Here's an interesting thing... I was looking for a 1960 Chevy long bed to use on my upcoming Steinbeck camper build. And here I found a beat up old custom for $10 at the show. The bed sides are clean, the rest of it is a mess! See the big door jambs! Our original builder must've used the Autoworld hot knife cutter to get those! It looks like it was never finished. You can see the work someone did to get that asymmetrical custom design going with the cut into the hood and fins on the roof. I had ordered these two from Jeff, and he had them for me to pick up at the show. I got both the postal Jeep and the '63 Valiant wagon. Both are incredibly complete kits, the Jeep came with complete chassis and drive train including an engine and black resin tires. The Valiant has a complete full detail chassis stolen from a '71 Duster kit, as was the body's under hood detail. Note that the Valiant was a curbsider so all this detail was created by Motor City. I also got one of their resin slant six engines. And a visit to RMR gave me their 1961 Falcon 4 door wagon. Had to have it. It should go right onto the 1961 Ranchero chassis. It came with complete interior, hood, steering wheel, tail lights and chromed bumpers. And that's what followed me home! Edited October 18, 2019 by Tom Geiger fixed photos
ewetwo Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Now I can see everything Tom. Nice. Love the Falcon, Jeep and Valiant. The truck sure looks like a challenge but you'll come up with something. Edited October 18, 2019 by ewetwo
Tom Geiger Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Dave, I'm seeing them all. They aren't linked, I embedded them into the post so they are on the site server. Can anyone else see the photos?

Did he not dub his truck "Rocinante"? Edited October 17, 2019 by Straightliner59

Straightliner59 Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I will be looking forward to that! I enjoy travelogues, and that one's a classic.
Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Okay.... can we see the photos now? They were all showing to me, and appeared in the thumb nails below. I removed them and replaced. Strange, that's never happened before..

ewetwo Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 No. The last thing I see is the back of a truck camper in the back of a green pickup Tom.

RichCostello Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I can see all the pictures, but now I can't unsee that poor 60 Chevy.

DukeE Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Tom, that Falcon looks great. Valiant fits your small Exner car fetish Pics look great, p/u bed fine. Amazed top not chopped on the truck. Use cab for Travels with Mutant Charlie, post-apocalypse.
Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 And to answer the questions about Charlie. Board member Ryan Klarenbeek from Oregon came to our rescue! It's a Tom Coolidge resin piece. Many thanks to Ryan for our Charlie!
ewetwo Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Nice. And there's the poodle. Does it have a name? Edited October 18, 2019 by ewetwo
