Scale-Master Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I heard a squeak, have to make something to take care of it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 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 ? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingIndian Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) If you are going to do the McDonalds drive through, you should add some mouse dropping to go along with it. Edited March 28, 2015 by Pete J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks guys. No errant fries in this one, or any of my real cars. Maybe some brake fluid though...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 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.

Scale-Master Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 I added the recessed areas for the labels and the ribbing on the side of the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Seven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
