Bob Schoonhouven owned the 65 Impala. I'm not sure if he did all the work though.
I don't think you need to worry about taking up to much space on your W.I.P.
I personally think that those type of threads are the best (I need to do more myself) They are the most educational.
Lookin forward to seeing your work.
ps: PM sent

Yeah he did, the guy who built it was Bob Huffman, and Harry Bradley design'd it, know how many times I have been asked, if this was a Rivie, wow to funny, this car is AWESOME, was deep into a wall hanger man, saw this, an BLAM!!!!!!!, was back into building, 15 hours later, I went to bed, I have the rear done, and am working on the front, this kustom has already eatin, 4 donor kits, gotta luv it man!!!!!!
On a side note. the Dream Weaver name I gave this car, I have some good pix of it, I will post those too, but not here, over on the bench posts,

Well,there may be a few things on my bench,but my building of them is really slacking!!! Here is a small list of builds I am working on:
Thames Drag Panel for our CBP here
Here is a small list of stalled projects thay I hope to at least finish one while working on the other kit mentioned above:
Barris "Mail Truck"
Revell "Bone Daddy" motorcycle
Trying to get remotivated.....I have had so much going on lately that model building has taken a back seat temporarily!

 Must have about 150 or so these to go, scan & measure them up. Have about 25% done and this is what's left. |

The failure for not building the gasser is that you have to send one kit to each of then guys that do - I'll take the '53 highboy ! LOL |

Hang in there Keiran, don't throw in the towel yet. You still have two months. Not to divulge too much, but my Gasser is gonna be a curbside build, not just to save time but that's how I had this one planned anyway.(not many reference photos) So consider something like that? Besides that we've come to expect miracles from Aussies! haha
Wow, if you consider Three kits greedy, I have 100 of the same kit (66 built) guess I'm one sick Dingo! haha
Hey Don, keep your eyes in the foreground.

Hey Don,
Don't be dissapointed, but they are motorcycles. 1/35 scale Tamiya Harley Davidson military bikes. I know you have seen some at other sites. I don't do Armour so these are all converted to civilian versions. I actually have the same bike in 1:1 scale ( 1942 WLA 45) also built civilian style.
I will post some here ASAP.
Sorry they weren't cars, haha. the most of any one car I have is 8 AMT 37 Coupes (two converts, and one dirt tracker also)
7 Tony Nancy triple car sets, 7 Monogram, sprint car/Indy car sets. Then It goes to six,of the Revell 40 willys, Then five of most of others including 8 Big "T"s, Four Tubs, Four Dueces........Etc,Etc..... Around 700 kits total.
Not counting the two we ordered this morning, "Tirebird" and a Zingers "Super Drag"
If you think I'm bragging, you're Darn right, I'm pretty proud of these.....haha....thirty years of collecting.
And "NO" you can't have any...But if you need parts, you're welcome to what I can spare or cast (yes still working (slowly) on them).
To rub in some more salt, also have around 3,000 die casts............10,000 mags... did I mention I have no money......
ps; I have no Heirs.....so you guys might want to be nice to me...haha
Your Friend
Jim

Ok,thanks to Bob for the motivation -(and fine decal work),I have started on the "Cheesehead Trike" while finishing my CBP....Remember,this kit was called the "Wedge Chopper" when it was originally released by MPC.It really looks like a cheese wedge, so I will build this with my own theme for all of the Packer Cheeseheads out there!
