Another Super 7

[Zandmann]

Ok... as they say: It ain't over till the fat lady sings and obviously she hasn't sung yet.

[Scale-Master]

I heard a squeak, have to make something to take care of it…

[cobraman]

The model box and the maps are a nice touch. Can't imagine what it must feel like to finish such a huge project as this. It is finished , right ? : )

[Scale-Master]

The car is finished. But I've been getting these ideas for extra goodies to add to it. Maybe I'm suffering from some sort of withdrawal and that's why I keep tinkering with the goodies?

[LaughingIndian]

Not to be an antagonist but I think it could use a couple of French fries and and old McDonalds receipt under the seats ...

Just sayin.

[Pete J.]

If you are going to do the McDonalds drive through, you should add some mouse dropping to go along with it.

Mark... Awesome job on this build. It turned out great. Thank you for sharing with us. I am looking forward to seeing this in person at the GSL.

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys. No errant fries in this one, or any of my real cars. Maybe some brake fluid though...?

Or perhaps a quart or two of Mobil 1 synthetic, a rag and funnel? How about some Armor All for the tires and vinyl?

[Scale-Master]

I like the funnel idea Pete. I already have a dirty red rag stuffed into the spare wheel. Not an Armor All fan, but a quart of oil in a modern plastic bottle ought to be fun...

[Scale-Master]

As if I need any encouragement to keep making trinkets... (Pete!)

I always keep a quart in the trunk of my Camaro… It was in the back of my mind to make this, but I'm blaming Pete J. for fast tracking it.

I added the recessed areas for the labels and the ribbing on the side of the bottle.

[LaughingIndian]

If someone ever tries to sell you what they call a "wide-screen high-definition TV" don't buy it.

It would do the rest of us a disservice.

[Scale-Master]

Got another trunk item going...

[gtx6970]

I casually followed along on the build. And enjoyed the ride

I am simply in awe for you guys that can do this kind of fabricating work.

Well done is an understatment

[John Teresi]

[Randy D]

Mark... I wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you at the GSL and seeing this beauty of a build in person. IT definitely deserved all the awards it took home. I also enjoyed chatting with you. I can't wait to see what your next big build will be.

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys, it was a genuine pleasure meeting all of you too.

Randy, your brass work is even more impressive in person than the photos (which are spectacular).

Chris, congrats on your well deserved wins too, the Vega is looking great.

I'm wondering what the next "big" thing will be too. I thought I might try and make a Super Seven...

How many Seven models have you built?

[Harry P.]

Seven?

[Scale-Master]

Yes, actually as mentioned at the start of this thread, this is the 7th 1/12 Seven I've made. Plus several other 1/24 and 1/64 versions. I think I have made 15 so far in various scales. Maybe 16... or 17...
