bbowser Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Just beautiful. I have really enjoyed watching this come together.
Belugawrx Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Wow Cato,... are we in final assembly !!?Awesome job on that interior sir...Cheers
Cato Posted December 9, 2016 Author Posted December 9, 2016 Wow Cato,... are we in final assembly !!?Awesome job on that interior sir...CheersThanks Bruce. In the main coach we actually are in final. But still, slicing and dicing of the hood panels will likely be the end of the heavy lifting. Success remains to be seen.
LaughingIndian Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 You still got a long way to go on this C. There's plenty left to do ... although I don't see it from here Don't stop now ... pleeeeese

There's plenty left to do ... although I don't see it from here Don't stop now ... pleeeeese Not sooo much Mike. Remember the fenders, trunk, wheels and tires are all done and just bolt on. Small details like lights to add but the real fabricating and fitting is only the hood. I'm still perfecting the finished door fit so taking my time now and trying to be really careful about not hurting anything.
Twokidsnosleep Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Better hurry Cato, my house is almost ready She is looking really sweet I would love to see you do some forced perspective photos of the finished work, you know where it looks like it is on the road or parked with real building behind. Your realism level is off the scale with this build.

Your realism level is off the scale with this build. Well, there are no English castles or Big Ben in my neighborhood Scott. . But I do have backdrop and photo plans when the time comes. That will be the 'fun' part.
Cato Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 The rear window... Chrome is done, Lexan in place and all installed:
Cato Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 About 75% assembled... No tape or pins holding together, these parts bolted in place so far. Still major work for the hood but mostly bolt-on items like running boards, rear fenders and accessories:
mecklm Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 All I can say is this belongs in a museum. How gorgeous...
peteski Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 All I can say is this belongs in a museum. How gorgeous... It belongs on the road! It looks realistic enough to start the engine and take it for a drive!
Twokidsnosleep Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Lovely, just lovelyI am impressed you have not give up or gotten irritated with the long build.....you really did stick to itWhat will you do with yourself when it is done???
Zoom Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Beautiful, you are doing a fantastic job with this.
Belugawrx Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Looking really nice Cato Now is the time for patience Cheers
Cato Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 Looking really nice Cato Now is the time for patience Cheers I just sent out for another 12 month supply of patience Bruce. Thanks to all you guys...
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 This is coming along beautifully. Great vision. The meodel deserves to be in a museum. Full size should be built. Can't wait to see it finished.
Harry P. Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Spectacular. All of the elements are really coming together. Love the roof, love the interior, love the chromed parts. I love it all! This is model building at a level you just don't see very often.
