Repstock Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I've been working on completing this master for several years, and it's finally in production. These are being cast by Missing Link Resin. I built one to see how it would go together. The donor kit is the 1976 Torino. Like any resin kit, I had to sand parts here and there, but it really went together without too much drama. I used the Torino engine because with all the accessories I chose to add, you can hardly see it. Several people on this board helped me get this to the finish line. I hope you feel free to add to the thread and take a bow. As I said before, this is my last (and probably best) master. 3D printing and age have taken their toll. 32
Belugawrx Posted February 22 Posted February 22 A real beauty!!..... paint, engine, interior, finish, tires and wheels,.. all top notch. Well done Sir. 1
carrucha Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Cool build. Good work on the paint job and engine detailing.
Claude Thibodeau Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Hi Sir! Very impressive, and the finishing work is great. Having been there when those beast were roaming the streets, I can attest to the fidelity of your master. Bravo! CT
Ragtop Man Posted February 23 Posted February 23 It is a great thing that Tom will be concentrating on his own work now. However, losing his talents to 'retirement' is a bittersweet send off. I've yet to see a 3D product that is equal to what Tom does with his hands and mind. He gets the 'feel' of the subject that computers and digits have yet to capture. The finished product from the mold is virtually indistinguishable from styrene, lacking only for sprue tags. And this build is out of sight, aligns exactly with what we used to see in the old days poking around under the hoods of those old Fords. Great job as always, Tom - hope to see you at Macomb! 2
Bucky Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Absolutely stunning replica! I see no flaws. Really like the jam-packed engine bay. TOP SHELF work!
dino246gt Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Beautifully done as everyone has already said, but what about those seats? Made your own decals? They look super cool!
kelson Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Really beautiful!,is Missing Link selling it off Ebay?,i've never seen a listing for it,just a 76 Montego occasionally.
espo Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Beautiful looking paint work and the body proportions look perfect. A must have for anyone with any interest in '60's era Mercury's.

Steve H Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Beautiful build Tom. I was not familiar with the 1:1 car. I think I may need to buy one of these, beautiful lines. Well done replica sir!
yellowsportwagon Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Well Tom I thank you so much for mastering this much needed subject. Was glad to help in any way I could. I just got mine the other day. So I’ll be able to build my car finally. 3
