After following and admiring the amazing skill and patience of Roger Zimmermann on his Mark II build, I decided to try my hand at a simple plastic model. So I bought (ebay) a couple of half-built parts missing kits by Ideal (1:18) with the intention of combining the two to make one 4 door convertible parade car. I haven't built a model since I was a kid in the 50's. I was harder than I thought, but it is near completion as the attached photos show. I appreciate Roger's talent even more. Thanks Roger.
