1) Tuckers: HA! You're the second person to ask me that. LSS: Yes, I have about 6 1/18 Kyosho Tuckers, and a few Yat-ming 1/18 Tuckers. Many years ago, I contemplated a 1/18 Tucker factory diorama similar to what the Danbury Mint did in 1/43 with a 1913 Model T. The project never got off the ground, so....
2) 1958 Edsel 4-door hardtop: I made it years ago as a quickie-project. Quick, because I cheated on the rear doors - they do NOT open. One day, I may fix that - OR - just build another - properly. '58 Edsel 4-doors are EZ-PEAZY to fabricate from Yat-ming 2-door hardtops because the roof & C-Pillars are identical. All that's required, more or less, is shortening the front doors and scribing the rear doors. I added "family figures" too, including a dog. 😀 😀
Again, this was a "quick project" ...don't judge too severely. 🙄 🙄

@100ford2003 I agree Steve. This was when 1.18 was red hot and I ran out of room to display them.

@100ford2003 I did that about 10-12 years ago. 🤔 🤔 🤔 But yeah, it's held up - some of those pics were taken this morning. Thanks for the compliment! 😀 😀

You bet, you're welcome. It's in a cool color combo too. 👍

Thanks, it's a rarely seen '58 Edsel color combo but it is authentic - I made sure of that. 😉 😉 😉 You'll note too that I did replicate those plain wheelcovers, but ultimately swapped them on another 1/18 Edsel for these fancier red spinners. 😏

I don't know very much about Edsel's Chris. I was 5 in 58. Sure I liked cars a lot of course I did... But remember I was smitten or gobsmacked I should say when my dad bought that '59 Impala.
