hemi Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Stunning is one word that comes to mind,y you have created a masterpiece in this one,now I have to look up the real car so I can learn more about it,sounds like an awesome car,I know this is an awesome model.
Shardik Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Holly smokes! I never thought I'd see a model of this - one of my all time favorite one-offs. You have captured every sensuous curve of the original perfectly. I have a ton of questions, but I'm going to back up and check out the W.I.P. first to see if the answers are to be found there. Thank you for building this, oh, and thank you for not billing it as "the buick streamliner"
Tony T Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Beautiful work Peter! Great to see you back and around...I do remember you starting this...really two years ago...wow...best of luck with the new venture as well!
codie27 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 What a great build!! Before seeing your build thread Id never heard of this car and everytime I see a picture or write about it I wondered what happened to your model...pleased to see it got finished. Very nice.
Danno Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Stunning . . . magnificent! Glad to have you back in the fold, Peter. Good luck on your new venture!
curt raitz Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Just fabulous!! You are to be commended for your perseverance. Welcome back, I was just about to do a Where's Waldo about you Excellent Peter "Ditto" on the Where's Waldo....
Bernard Kron Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Welcome back Peter! The Timbs car came out beautifully. When you were last active you were delighting us with the details of the chassis and motor. Now, as a completed model it is doubly impressive. Your diorama concept is truly inspired and should complement this stunner perfectly. I can't recall if I ever thanked you for the Timbs body you sent me. The lines are a real inspiration. I wouldn't presume to build another Timbs replica but have ideas for an early 50's LSR car. Clearly this shape was "in the air" at the time, since it's so evocative of the Bluebird. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your future projects in the months to come. Edited October 28, 2013 by Bernard Kron
Custom Hearse Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Looks awesome Peter! I was wondering where you dissappeared to. Looking forward to more of your builds, and your announcment sometime soon. I wish you the best of luck in your business adventure!
Peter Lombardo Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Guys, thanks so much for the kind words.........I really appreciate it.......I just wanted to finish this car after two years of it sitting behind me under a cover and every now and then I would remove the cover and the car was just sitting there laughing at me because it was un-finished, and I had to have the last laugh. Thanks again. I have completed (still needs a little bit of sanding, but it is basically done) the model of the wooded buck that Norman Timbs made to fabricate the body from........just a recap, the real car body was hand formed from aluminum plates hammered by hand over the wooden buck shown in this picture on a trailer leaving Timbs house and heading out to the fabricators shop. Here is a few shots of my model next to the completed mode. And by itself. This will be presented in a 3D setting in place of the actual wooden buck in the photo taken of the real buck. We are "airbrushing out" the buck from the photo and this will replace in a 3D diaroma........it should be pretty cool.....basically I will be bringing the old photo to life. I started work on the Junkyard Timbs Streamliner too. Completion date is scheduled for NNL East in April 2014........if the4 new venture doesn't get in the way, that is. Again, thanks for looking and I really appreciate your comments.....you guys are too kind.
Foxer Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Completion date is scheduled for NNL East in April 2014........if the4 new venture doesn't get in the way, that is. Looks like I need to visit my grandsons in NJ this April!
jeffs396 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Glad to see you're at the bench again Peter! This turned out GREAT!!! Good luck in your new business venture
oldcarfan Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Love this! I missed it the first time. Now I'll have to go back and read the build thread.
