A.R.C. Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I`d say you redeemed yourself Peter. That is wayyyyyy tooo cool!
jbwelda Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 that looks great and that is a great story to go with it. my experience back in 1961 was very similar to yours: I just couldn't fathom how you blend those nose and tail pieces in with that putty stuff. and the result showed that! jb

(Would You loan him out?) The model is a real show stopping keeper for sure! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
Peter Lombardo Posted March 9, 2014 Author Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I really appreciate all of the kind words about the model, but I am even more happy that you guys "Got" the story behind it. Every time when I sit at my workbench I am taken back to my youth. Stupid as it may sound, modeling helps me stay young. I get the feeling that it is the early 60"s again. I would go down to the workbench in the basement in the evening after my homework was done........and turn on the radio.....WABC am, Cousin Brucie ....was on and he was usually playing a Beatles tune. I am almost 65 going on 15. Not bad if you can get away with it. Edited March 9, 2014 by Peter Lombardo
Custom Hearse Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 WOW!!! You've done an excellent job on this build! I am stunned and amazed at the quality of work you do!!!
Sixties Sam Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Simply amazing work! Beautiful model! I had trouble getting putty smooth back in the 60's too! Great work! Sam
Peter Lombardo Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Simply amazing work! Beautiful model! I had trouble getting putty smooth back in the 60's too! Great work! Sam Didn't we all..................except for one friend of mine, Chip Laurie, He could get a smooth finish on something as rough as a New York City Street..............he was really good, and no matter how many times I watched him, I could not replicate the smooth joints he could get. Secretly, I hated him. (kidding)
