Lindberg Exterminator chassis, body from custom 3D creations, engine from Texas 3D . Paint is all Testors extreme laquer . STS decals made the custom decals. I made a display base for the car to simulate a 60s car show theme.

Nice job fitting the body to the frame because your tire gap is TIGHT! The display sells it. Love the stand for the Idol created from engine parts

One of those "What's not to like" models.

I am considering getting into some 1/8th scale myself and this is inspiring.

Very nicely done Competition Coupe! I think the color of the frame fits perfectly together with the body color. Excellent work. 8-)

It would be fun to try one of these big scale models (1/16 would do as well), but they are so huge that I don't have any space to display them when they're done.

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: fyi I did Pay for ad free here, I might have to renew that Jan 23, 2024 23:51:04 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I hope you are all having a nice Memorial Day weekend! May 26, 2024 8:26:51 GMT -5

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: it has been a bit slow, but i come everyday. i am so close to being able to build and hope that things pick up again i miss this place! Nov 9, 2024 22:04:22 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I paid up three more years on fotki, it's been 20yrs already! Nov 11, 2024 23:16:53 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5
