1910 Studebaker Electric - Minicraft 1/32

I thought this would be a quickie build, so no WIP here.  The thing that took the most time was the pinstriping.  I got some 1/64th" Champ railroad striping online.  Obviously old stuff, it needed a coat of Testors decal bonder to make it better.

Anyway the Minicraft version used a more improved plastic than the original acetate based stuff that warped like crazy and was difficult to glue.  The original molds were obviously used, since the underside reads Gowland & Gowland 1952.

Homemade windows made from blister packaging.

Still, a unique little piece to join the crowd on the shelves.













Thanks for looking,
Mike

Nice.

Phone boxes were green in Ireland back in the day, but we never had wheels on them!

Little cracker!!

So tiny.

Nice one Mike. I like it.

Excellent build! It's so small both in scale and real life, very neat and (dare I say) cute.

Sometimes,to build something rare, going to a small scale (and a lesser quality brand) is necessary. You did well.

Thanks, everyone. Glad I tried those Champ pinstripe decals. Up til now, I tried to paint them on which did not end up well. I recommend them to everyone looking for striping. One pack will probably do a few models.

Yes, I used to buy the narrowest model RR striping tape. The earliest vehicles are woefully few in model form. Again, thanks!
