Scalper Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Nice build.. nice and clean. great engine work. love the green with the white a museum piece.
lordairgtar Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Nice Buick. I believe it got nicknamed The Bug. I knew of the Rambler in the series but never knew of the Olds...looks like I'm going swap meet hunting again. I built the Buick and Rambler when i was a kid.
cobraman Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 If by any chance you happen to have unbuilt kits of the Olds and Rambler in that series, and are willing to sell them, PM me. Harry, there is one of each on ebay now. I think the bid was starting at 9.99 with about the same for shipping.
Harry P. Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Harry, there is one of each on ebay now. I think the bid was starting at 9.99 with about the same for shipping. I know, but I don't like the bidding stuff. I always buy from "Buy it Now" listings.
Burnout Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Very nice work Harry and that goes for the photography too!
cobraman Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I know, but I don't like the bidding stuff. I always buy from "Buy it Now" listings. I prefer BIN also when there are many of the same item listed but when I come across an item I want that I seldom see I will play the auction game. I will toss out a bid of what I am willing to pay and then forget about it till the auction is over. I do win auctions sometimes for less than what my max bid was.
Prince Ital Mike Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 What a lovely little car and a great model too!
Dave42 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Wow, so clean it looks sterile. Last pic is something, so many different coors and textures, it looks very real. Very cool.
om617 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 This is sweet Reminds me of the car grandma duck used to drive in the comics.
Harry P. Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Update! I added the horn and the acetylene tank. I took the horn from another kit, cut it apart, and reconfigured it to fit the Buick. The acetylene tank is scratchbuilt per reference photos using various bits and pieces of styrene rod and tube, and sheet aluminum. The flange around the base is actually the pupil from a "googly eye" (the diameter was just right!). Now it's finished.
Danno Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 That acetylene tank is a real gas! Perfect finishing touches, Harry!
sjordan2 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Spectacular. It's the little things that make something extra-special.
