Philip, Ed, thank you both very much. MR went down hill many moons ago, that's for sure.

Regards, Bobby

Well if RMC ever gets up and really running again, we'll lobby them heavily to have you do a monthly column on your work.

So much to admire here Bobby.  The paint/decaling job look great, but I keep coming back to the upright hand grabs with the perfectly formed loops atop.  Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Gary. I can't take credit for the corner grabs, they're Plano that came with their #10930 upgrade kit.

It's finally done. I went into dead period for about six months, but I'm back in the Grove in time for Savannah RPM. That's when I turn into a kid at Christmas time.

Thanks, Bobby

Outstanding work. It would take a Herculean effort to get the 45-year-old N scale model to come close to looking that good.

I really have to do one of these in N at some point. The car looks fantastic!

Thank you very much Daniel. I love N scale, it's come into it's own in the last few years. I have trouble tell it from HO in photographs.
I have a friend named William Bannon that super details engines and scratch builds slugs in N. He's also a MoPar man.

The weathering on the trucks and wheels is very impressive too.  The rust on the wheels vs. that on the cast truck sideframes is dead-on.
