I'm not much of a "scratch builder".. my first popcycle chassis car was a joke and I haven't tried brass yet, but I do enjoy modeling.

I took a 1/24th scale AMT Buick Riviera plastic model and mated it to a ready to run ProTrack chassis.

I found the people as part of a 4 person kit on eBay and I added a few other details like the newspaper and a scale race set in the back seat.

Just thought I'd share~

Nice finish! I like the race set within the race set, that is a nice riff on the age old and much used picture within a picture theme.

That's beautiful TK!
Such a wonderfully excessive American car too I can just imagine a big block V8 burbling along with a distinct lack of mufflers

But...you let the woman drive!! Erm I know... I bet it's her reward for buying her bloke that new Scalextric set in the back seat "ta love. Of course you can drive my car. Would you mind filling her up at the next garage? I love you"

A great model...any chance I can have one? (Goes away searching for old US muscle car kits.....)

Mark.

It's gorgeous - I just wish I could get a hard body in 1/32 scale.
Look at this heap!

Nice Riviera, TKev!

PS - Tropi: were the spectators throwing tomatoes or something?
