    When I build it I've already decided to buy a small fish tank to keep it in, and the idea is to turn it into a diorama of a garage with the car inside. Although I don't have the scanner/printer anymore, I was at one stage going to make 1:8 scale copies of spare parts boxes and a 1/8 scale NSRA calendar on the wall. Perhaps when I've got my actual car finished...... is frightening though, I was only 29 when I bought it.

    I know you think you believe you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what I said isn't always what I meant.

    Your `Golden T` looks identical to my 1/8th `Street and Show T` but with the chrome changed to `brass`, Stephen ... much the same as they did with the Golden `Little T`.
    I hope yours still glues OK, though I`ve noticed the plastic on the larger kits appears somehow different and parts can detach from the completed kit if not careful!

    They are big John, 16.5" overall length, 8" high!...

    I`ve kit bashed my Golden Little T with narrower rear tyres/wheels and an Olds motor from an old Revell accessory custom parts pack...

    Nice rework of the Tom Daniel Baja Beast.

    I've built the same kit pretty much out the box. Brown flock carpet added and a base for the finished model







    I've also got a Firebomb version that needs a bit of restoration.

    Love the garage backdrop John, very realistic!. Where did you get the Pop body, or is it a Revell gasser body?...
