1956 Lincoln Futura: Complete (#9 for 2019)

What a blast from the past! And a real quick build, too.



Lots of Zoom here.



I love the antenna, straight out of Dock Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century.



All that is left is to paint the figures, which need to go in before the steering wheel.



Some details of the build follow. The chassis was lowered by gluing in a pair of 3 mm brass rods on top of the existing structure where the axles would snap in.



The wheels are Chrysler 300 units, and the tires are from the parts bin. They are reduced in diameter compared to the big fat wide walls I had on it in the last post, which was needed to allow it to sit this low.



Looking good -- the wheels disappear up under the fenders this way.



Stay tuned! I'll get back to more conventional stuff soon enough.
