Hello everyone,
Heres a personal project I started drawing up and doing the math on in January or so. I saw Glyn2K's thread on his Ecto today and decided to show my attempt at the same thing. Surprisingly from what its taken to get this car to the point in the photos, i couldve and should've started from scratch with sheet styrene instead. I've determined the size at 1/12th scale should be 20.75" long and about 5.75" wide, so the kenner car has to be widened about .75" all the way down. Just the hood it comprised of 7 rows of both cars cut up, glued, bondo'ed and sanded. Ive said enough, ill just post the pics lol.
I just picked up some evergreen styrene molding and strips to build the roofrack and some great v-grooved sheet in the right scale for all the window molding. Back to work, just looking at this post made me understand how long this will take...
