Can I see wires and dash closeup?
I assume you meant "hidden lines" instead of "wires". Or maybe you meant closeups of the wires on the hydraulic setup. Oh well, let me know

-
Well, here's a closeup of the wires, just in case
-
Very cool vehicle!
-
Really inspirational work!!!
I keep returning to the thread and pouring over the images - each time finding some amazing details and wondering how you pulled them off. In particular the folded umbrella has really got me scratching my head.
-
Man, that's awesome!!! I love your vehicle models, I'm impressed with your attention to details. One detail I'm very curious about - how is the steering linkage maintained when the car is scissored up? It looks like in the one display photo you have, there's a vertical shaft coming down that's possibly a steering column...
Maybe this should show up in the "retro cool" thread too!
-
Thanks for all the kind words.
Andy, the steering is hydraulic (notice one of the red hydraulic lines going forward along the frame). The "shaft" you mention seeing in one of the cars on display is actually a support, one of two, to keep the car raised during it's stint at the museum.

Ah - i loved the movie when i was a kid.
Great Work!

What the heck...
Some wires you got there. Could you show the oil level too? 
-
Looks awesome.
My, you have some hours invested there.

Thanks. The decals aren't textures, they're just cut out by hand and placed about 1/8" from the doors, set to not show shadows, and then I adjusted the opacity so they would look more realistic

Would have been a lot easier probably if I could have used Artisan, but that dang plugin is still beyond me.

One of my all time favorite movies. . .
I can hear it now. . .
Yeah, I hadn't thought about this movie in years, came across a reference to it while I was researching the Munster Koach and it popped into my (feeble) mind later when I was looking for something interesting to do.
From what I've read "Push the Button, Max" became quite the catch phrase after the movie came out. One of the Hannibal's made an appearance in another movie, a real turkey called "The Charge of the Model T's" in 1977. Made me sad to see it in such a terrible movie. -
Well it's an awesome model . . .and I wish I had your skill and your time to do stuff like this.

Awww shucks, twern't nothin
Now I'm looking for something else interesting to tackle. Something that hasn't been done before. Really would like to do a couple versions of the Batmobile, but they're all over the Warehouse. Anybody have any suggestions?
-
weinermobile?
-
Steve your crazy, now that really should be added to the Most impressive SketchUp modelling thread!
