TV/Movie Car VII CBP 'Model And Modelers' In Production!

The TV/Movie Car CBP is back with our new sequel to the TV/MC franchise...The Model And The Modelers.  This will be a six month production starting on October 1, 2011 and ending on April 1, 2012.  You are cordially invited to audition and to complete as many roles as you wish.  While I am the Executive Producer and Director, I will also participate with my own role as well to be announced later.  If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask me here. 

The Rules

1. The model must represent a vehicle from a TV show, movie or video that is accessible through normal channels to all.  Please announce your role during your audition.  No what-if's!
2. To be fair to all, the model must be unstarted or to be rebuilt from a disassembled model.
3. Any scale except 1:1.
4. Can be built from plastic, resin, or modified die-cast.
5. Use aftermarket parts and accessories if desired.
6. This is a six month production.

FYI

If you have never participated in one of my TV/Movie Car CBPs before, I run this like a like a TV or movie production.  Please be ready to start when the Director calls for ACTION and have your role completed when the Director calls THAT'S A WRAP!   The future of this franchise depends upon the success of this production.  I am depending upon all actors to work together as a team! 

Let the auditions begin!

AMT's Corvair kit

It looks as if every time AMT reissues its 'Vair kit, they keep including a few more stock parts and a few more custom parts. I remember building my 1st one back in the late '70s, where the only wheels you got in the kit were aluminum mags and a custom rear hood which was turned up along the back.

Then came the "Prestige" reissue, complete with stand and pen holder... the pen holder was a little over-the-top, but at least this one offered you a choice of the custom or stock hood.

The one which was out a year or two ago finally included stock hubcaps, plus a turbocharger if you wanted to build it as a Corsa. I built mine as a Monza, and painted it light metallic turquoise for the true classic 'Vair look.

Maybe the next reissue will offer a choice of dash-mounted T-shift for the automatic version instead of just the floor-mounted stick? 8-D
