Professor Fate's "Hannibal 8"
-
The gaudy gold structure you can see in the background of the second photo is part of a Wurlitzer organ that was also restored at the Stahl Museum. You can see it being played in Mar 2015, with the Hannibal 8 and a Leslie Special in the background here:

Pity they didn't play that on the Wurlitzer.
Did you notice the back end of the moose at 2:48 in that video?

NOISE seeking!
Very nice work. Where is it now?
-
you're right. . .forgive moi. Note the 19th century ear horn.
right now it's in our Pinewood Derby mothballs where it has been for the past 20 years--right next to the Lost Ark.. I guess I oughtta get it back out and spiff it up.
Nah.

Oh yes. Always good for a chuckle or two. A nice bit of Blake Edwards' subtle wit.
BTW . . .I could probably do this in Sketchup. Professor Fate's Noise Seeking torpedo. My son and I did this years ago for his first cub scout pinewood derby car. great little conversation piece. It lost in the race. .but won first place in Design.

I've just started a new website & forum, dedicated to the cars and characters from the movie.
If you do get it out, I'd love to see some photos of it posted there.

Richard,
Nice website. I do have some interesting stuff about the movie I came across when researching the Hannibal 8, I'll try to post some of it to your site.

Feel free to repost any of my stuff. This great movie needs a dedicated site.

I'd already prepared this page

Hey, is this model still available?
-
It never was 'available'.
-
Can I purchase it?
-
I am a new user here, sorry for the newbie questions. But I would appreciate if someone could explain how can I get this model. Thanks!
-
The only way you can 'get it' is to make it yourself. A good tool for learning.
-
It's not published, buy you could try contacting its author and offer to buy it ?
See the first post in the thread... -
I may be wrong but this poster comes across as someone who wants to acquire items to sell.
Colour me cynical if you like but it comes across that way.

That is not the case Mike. This has nothing to do with business for me, I make my living very well in unrelated areas. I have been a huge fan of this movie for years, and I want to do a 3-d printed model of this vehicle for my son. Unfortunately, my 3-D modeling skills are not at a level that allows that. I stumbled across this post and was wondering if there is a way to buy it for my own personal use. If this is offending to the forum or not allowed, just let me know. Thanks. I also tried to contact the author but didn't find a way to do it, so if anyone knows him, I would appreciate passing the question.

This is a killer modeling... Jawdropping job!
