(Pics) Brooklin Tucker 2 door convertible conversion
A fellow collector converted Brooklin Model 2-007B into this 2 door open convertible. As a Brooklin collector I prefered to take the Brooklin, although this early model has no dashboard and indoor side panels. Easier is to convert the Solido, which has an interior. I saw this 1:1 conversion on http://tuckerconvertible.com/

Very interesting dream car, and I really like the workmanship in the rebuilding. Great!

Great Conversion !
Have been planning to do one of these myself, ever since the original car came up for auction earlier this year. Seeing how good this one turned out will give me the incentive to get started on mine! Thanks for posting.

Hello Chris , I like to have figures around and in my models.
So often I place figures and animals around and in the models on my display shelves.

Good touch, Jacques, and I agree. Figures help set the scene.
