Nick,
Have you formed and cast these yourself ? I especially like your 1964 Galaxie and the color looks right as well.
Nice work Dave

Nick,
Interesting models! How do you make them? I too like the 1964 Ford.

Hello again, my best model is the ´64 Galaxie 500. But the most time I spended in the ´64,5 Mustang. I started with a pure wax-bloc and some photos I found in a magazine. So it took half a year spending every night one two hours. This was in the late eighties. Later I started use the wax and took metalpieces for the small parts like light, grille and the mirrors. Now I often use copied parts of other models and put them into the wax. Still waiting some more for the finish. I copy the waxmodels with a normal two phase silicone which allow me pure them two to five times with plexiglass (methacrylat). I haven´t a vacuumpump neither a pressionboiler, so I decided this material, but for that the cristal isn´t cristalclear but milky. Now I put some more photos. nick ingmar

It's certainly worth it! I was more interested by the Galaxie because it was the first time I've seen one in our scale, but I've noticed the Mustang too in your pictures. Congratulations again for these models.

Dear Nick:
There were several discussions how one shrink details from a larger scale to 1/87 and you are providing with very good suggestions. I did liked the Mercury (if you will do a black hardtop one it was the car used on Hawaii 5-0) and the 1964 Ford as well.
I also think that you molded a 65-67 Oldsmobile,is that right?

Hello Nick, right again! I thought it´s a ´64 Starfire, but now with better photos I recognized that the matchbox and other originals I used as idols for my models are highly poor detailed and wrong in their relation. So I´ve to rebuild the grille of the Starfire completly. Some details were of my poor fantasy, like the big mirrors and the hoodfigure from a Macktruck, but in this times I liked it a lot. nick ingmar

Dear Nick:
At least,all of these (including the station wagon) are unique to 1/87 scale and they all are nice! Alas,in 1/87.only four generations of Thunderbirds were molded.You are filling the gaps.

Nick, Once again you have captured the line and proportion of a very unusual prototype. Nice work.

Wow! The '73 Riviera remains one of the best American designs ever in my eyes. You wouldn't be able to cast another one, would you?
