Ron35369 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 This is another of my 2011 builds. The newest release of the AMT 1958 Edsel, painted in Power Blue & Bright White. I built this one factory stock.
Sam I Am Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Absolutely beautiful...I have always liked the 58 Edsel !!
Harry P. Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 For some reason that particular shade of blue really annoys me... but that's just me. It takes nothing away from your model, which is beautiful. Well done!
jdcar32 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 That's a really nice looking Edsel...... Clean build, nice detail.
vintagercr Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 It looks beautiful! Ron did you make the gas station?
bbowser Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Factory stock, my favorite category. Excellent job, and I love the gas station setting.
Ron35369 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 I would love to claim that I made the Gas Station, but I didn't. I bought that pre assembled from Danbury Mint several years ago.
geetee66 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Ultra clean build, Ron. I've got one of these waiting. Your excellent photos will help me out. Nice colour choice and the BMF is sweet
farmer1 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Great job, looks right at home at the station too
Gluhead Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Nice clean build, great colors. What's not to like? Oh, and thanks, Harry...now I know what color I will paint virtually every model I build from here out.
peekay Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 For some reason I also found that blue really annoying. After trying to calm myself with a whole bottle of whiskey I was in such a rage that I strangled our cat. Now I feel better and actually really like your model.
AzTom Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Very Nice Clean Build! I like the gas station also.
charlie8575 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I love Edsels, and that one is really nice. The gas station is nice, too, even if you can't take the credit for it. For curiosity's sake, about how big is that gas station? Charlie Larkin
Ron35369 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks again for all the nice comments. Charlie, the Sinclaie station measures 16" X 12-1/2" X 6-1/2". the top lifts off so you can look at everything in side. I wish the depth was deeper as you can only get about half of a 1/25 car inside on the hoist. Danbury also offered the Mobil & Texaco stations...but now it looks like Danbury Mint diecasts is going out of business so there may not be anymore stations or diecasts from them.
Ed Bouman Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Nice build on the Edsel, but I am very curious, did you build the gas station as well, because if you did, you did an amazing job! What were the dimensions you used if you built it?
