Thanks for the kind words! I so glad you liked the article!
Scale Auto is right down the hall from FSM World Headquarters, and they're great about letting me get my car-modeling fix every now and then.
The 1/8 scale Big Deuce kit has been around for a loooong time, but if you're a hot-rod fan you really owe it to yourself to build one at least once. It's a truly impressive model when it's done. More importantly, it's a great building challenge, since there's very, very little in the way of aftermarket detail parts for it, you pretty much have to fabricate anything you want to add -- kinda like building a real hot rod, I guess! I built the kit as a flathead-powered car as it might have appeared in the late '50s.
Here are a couple of shots of it:
I hope you guys like it!
