Here is an older SunStar 1/18 diecast from many years ago of the innovative and rather complex Ford Skyliner hardtop-convertible. In the model, the top mechanism works and one can quickly turn the hardtop replica into a convertible.

What you can do with a camera is just astounding!  I bought the '57 Ford Skyliner model about a year or two ago.  It was so bad I returned it for a refund.

Lol ! Pointing the camera in the right direction is half the battle and sometimes the rest can be just "smoke and mirrors". Keep at it !

HA!   You two (I think...  ) don't realize you're miscommunicating. 

- Mike: Marty's not talking about a camera he bought & retuned; he's talking about that Sunstar  1957 Ford.

- Marty:  Mike believes (I think... ) you're talking about a camera.

This is kind of like "Who's on first?"    😀 😀 😀

I have no idea who's on first; maybe Abbott, maybe Lou  -  but your explanation here, Chris, is spot on and super funny, the way you word it.

Mike, I agree whole heartedly with Marty; your camera/editing work, really IS astounding! The model looks GREAT here - sorry you got a bad one Marty.

I'm not a fan of the color green however the shade that they picked for this Sunstar Ford is stunning and looks absolutely perfect for 1957.

Yes, you're right!  My "Who's on first" post wasn't clear, at all!  I've edited and corrected it!  I returned the '57 Ford retractable.  🤣
