What color was yours, on that color chart?

Axle holes were made with a 1/4 inch paper punch, visible in last photo. I can cover the roughness around the rear bumper slot with the bumper. No matter how carefully I try to build a model, my cars always come out looking a little rough. I'll admit I'm not all that great of a builder, but I...

Surface sheets are on the components, and the main body is assembled. The phony spare tire cover bulge (one of my favorite features of the '60 and '61 Valiants) was made by layering discs of colored paper together and gluing in place.

When I'm finished fixing the master drawing, I'll post a white copy. Thanks for showing your Lancer. I agree with Revell-Fan, that's a beautiful car. Been busy with other issues the past several days, and I haven't made much headway on the model.

spuhseeba moy drook!

Ya nyeh puhneemayoo rooski, y ya nyeh gahvareet rooski, but I know a few phrases, such as ya gahladyen, which means "I'm hungry". I think it's the first Russian phrase I learned.

I worked for a local ServiceMaster franchise for 20 years. When I started working there in '83, the boss had two '76 Chevy panel vans, each with the "3-on-the-tree" and 250 cubic inch six. Sometimes the shift linkage would bind, and we'd have to get out, open the hood, reach in and pull it...

I have to redraw the side features on my surface sheets, because I failed to notice that the windshield and backlight (rear window) are of the wrap-around type. This changes side window features and door line placement. So I'm making corrections on my tracing sheet, then I'll photocopy new...

You're right, that Chevy 250 was one of the most durable in-line sixes ever made, and the long production run they had is a testimonial to that.

Great, thank you, but I have a number of projects waiting in the wings: (spoiler alert) '58 Rambler, '55 Nash, '50 Studebaker, '53 Willys Aero...

That bus is interesting and beautiful. After reading zathros' tribute to RonaldoM, and seeing his work, this hobby is lucky to have someone of that caliber.

The '55 Chevy is always a good subject. That model is nice, and it's good to see it in a four door sedan, rather than the usual two door hardtop. And that white sports car is a knockout! Nice work, interesting car.

One of my friends had a '72 Rally Nova ( same body as the '69. His was medium green). Rally paint scheme, three speed floor shift, Rally wheels, and fffftt...an in-line, 250 cubic inch six. Oh, well, it looked fast.

That VW is as cute as a ... bug!

Yes, those slant sixes had a good reputation, and it was well earned. Another great Mopar mill: the venerable 318.

I agree!

Delightful and impressive. Tremendous investment in re-engineering, time, and effort. Astonishing workmanship on an interesting subject. Thank you for building and showing this beautiful model.

Impressive videos. Also, even though it's Russian, it has just the right colors for the US Postal Service. "Neither rain, nor snow...shall stay this vehicle from making its appointed rounds."

Here are the pontoons with the surface sheeting and lights. I test-fitted the tail lights at an angle (canted), like on the real car, but they looked awkward, given the squared off shape of the end of the pontoon. With the way I build a car, I often am redesigning the car to fit my design and...
