smithbrother Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am seriously considering carving a larger scale model, but having a 1/18 scale unit to measure from will greatly help me get the proportions right. I am thinking building it out of solid walnut, approx. 24"-30" in length. Condition not that important. Sorry, not interested in 1/43 scale.Thank You,Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well, it looks like no one made a 1/18 or even a 1/24 1954 Buick HT model. Everything I find on the web is 1/43 or smaller. I did find a 1/25 resin kit, but it's a Roadmaster, and the roof line is different, at least around the rear glass. So it's looking like photo's will have to do. I figured Mr. 54 the Earl would have one, but I guess NOT. bummer.....Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbuickgs Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Dale,There is a !955 Century 1/18th 2 dr hdtp model that would have the correct roofline, windows , doors, trunk,wheel openings etcAnd there are models of the 1954 Skylark that you could get most of the other demenionsless the taillights.Hope to see any progress you are making with this project.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
