A Christmas Model Contest?
Dude! That is awesome!!! Love the thought put into it and all the detail!! Not to mention its a great tribute to your dad! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man! This whole little object is right at 8 inches long. (Don't ask, wasn't planned) and WILL fit within a standard model car display case. Again, don't ask, I have no idea how any of it is even possible, but it all does with no issues!
I merely sat down in the shop and hand drawn the sides shape of the sleigh body, and then got it till I was "happy" with it, AND that a '41 Plymouth seat would fit inside without issue (Thats the seat you see) And off to the races I went once the shape was work-able!
This whole model is out-of-my-head....I took what I fore seen in my own mind, put it on plastic and ran with it, the ONLY part to meet ANYTHING "paper" was the sheet of cardboard I used to draw out the sleigh sides....Everything else was drawn onto the plastic and cut.....The sleigh sides were a template I made, as you seen in the beginning....
Both the traits are credited to my Dad, the design and the Christmas Spirit to bring them forth....
So yeah thats a Dedicated thing, and this one, I know he'd be proud of.....Knowing him, I would say he'd come up with a way to put it on top of the Tree when the time is right, BUT I'm afraid of it hitting the floor, SO, its going to be within one of the decorations in the living room, Just not sure, where..............
