    It really was a great build mate
    Cheers mate.
    Alright gang, you can all blame Trevor if this doesn't meet your standards. He made me do it!

    A few of us on a different forum got involved in making models. I wanted to build a stage coach, but I could not find any plans. In fact all I could find was a plastic model of a custom hot rod that was built for a rock band that earned some fame in the late 60's here in the US. So I bought the plastic model, scaled everything up twice and drew my own plans.

    The video I've linked is a slide show of my build of that hot rod.



    And one more. This time of the display case I made to house the model.



    Honest, its not my fault! Blame Trevor! He made me do it!
    He who blesses his neighbor in a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted as cursing!

    The group and that car were favorites of mine when I was just a young buck tearing up the highways in my own muscle car.

    They have an all new cast now, but the original band leader who's real name is Paul Revere is still touring around the states dressed up like wacked out colonial Army officers from the American Revolution and playing their old hits. Paul played the keyboards back in the day and still travels with one that is fashioned after the front of a Ford Mustang. The guy is in his 70's and still going strong!
