ICM Model T wip
Posted by Don Stauffer on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 1:45 PM

Got some more wip pictures.  Here is frame, fenders and running board, with engine installed;

I also managed to get the top attached.  That was a real struggle.  The top frame parts are fine and spindly, and turned out to be a slight bit too long.  So one could insert them in the recesses in top of body, or at back and windshield but not both.  I finally glued the top on at back and at windshield, with the frames splayed out beside the body, then drilled new attachment holes.

interesting little kit. makes for a good replica. too bad about the roof, but as a modeler, a little skill and determination make all the difference.

Had a disaster yesterday.  The horn is in four pieces.  Apparently dropped the mouth of the horn trying to glue it in place- it just disappeared!  Cannot find it.  That horn, sort of bugle shaped- will be a bear to scratch.  Trying to complete model for a big contest Saturday!

Found it!  I had thoroughly checked the engine compartment and the floor. But in handling the model yesterday I broke loose one of the rear radius rods, and the horn bell fell into my hand.  Apparently it had gotton trapped between the floor and the radius rod. I have no idea how it turned the corner from the engine compartment back to under the floorboards, but there it is.  Finished the model yesterday except for nameplate.  No time for pictures- getting ready for Nordicon.  Pix next week.

Wish you luck, although from what I've seen you won't need it.
