Oops, you did say "1/18" ....   how about an unfinished 1/18 project?      Again, my pic would be the 1770 Cugnot.  😉

Interesting project, Chris. So far, I only have the Brumm, Cugnot in 1/43. Saw the full sized original, years ago in Paris, France.

I think my earliest 1/18 replica automobile is the 1933 Pierce-Arrow by Signature.

That's hilarious Bob!  😀      You know......(and I love the Flintstones ) that never occurred to me, but you're right.  😮

@marty-johnson I'll be damned!  😲 😲 😲        Ironically, YOUR Bronco project could still wrap up  before mine.     From 1-10, on the motivation scale for this build, I'm currently at a 1.34  😫
