Mark Deliduka Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Yes, that is right, this is being included in my 1/72 scale armor/vehicle collection because; despite being a civilian vehicle, it is a 1/72 scale Model A Ford. I only managed to get one semi-decent picture of this, despite numerous efforts for a clean, sharp shot. The base sort of helped get it this good. Here it is, the 1/72 scale Zebrano Ford Model A car: Built out of the box, it was a delicate little thing; it only measures an inch and a quarter long. Completed in early September it, now joins the collection of vehicles I have in 1/72 scale. Thanks for looking; comments are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE does have a number of civilian cars; mostly 1930's era GAZ types from Russia that could pass for American cars (considering most all are based on Fords). Roden has a line of civilian buses, almost all of which I've completed. Attached are about a third of the miniature civilian cars and buses I've done in the past. The cars are generally between an inch and a quarter to two inches in length, the buses are between four to six inches each, except for the big Vomag bus, it's almost eight inches long.

Jmarc Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 CCCCCCCCCCCCool, they are definitely quite interesting subject and a challenge to assemble and paint !.. Thanks for the pics again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 You're welcome. Some of them have been difficult to build and paint. The results are quite pleasing to me and the fact that I have full collections of every kit released in 1/72 scale of some of these vehicles is very satisfying.

Mark Deliduka Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 How many buses? Or how many vehicles all told; both civilian and military? I have the entire Roden bus lineup built save one: the WWI pigeon bus used by the Signals corps. I'm hoping to get that one started soon. I have almost all the ACE Russian built civilian-type vehicles and other civilian vehicles done except for the stakebed truck that I'm working on. However, if you want to know how may 1/72 scale vehicles and armor I have, well, I have completed a grand total of 880 miniature vehicles in 1/72 scale, from the smallest motorcycle to the gigantic German Dora Railgun. The most recent pictures of this collection shows 807 of them on tables which were taken back in 2021 The next two pictures are from the 2021 IPMS Nationals in Las Vegas showing the collection from both ends. I had 820 models on their display tables. Maybe someday soon I'll be able to post updated pictures once I reach 900 completed models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted November 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 LOL! Thank you guys! That collection is certainly still growing. James, I did! They had reserved all the center tables for me at Vegas, not knowing how many I was going to need. They were most exceptionally accommodating allowing me to come in and set up the day before and pack up the day after. Otherwise, I would have missed almost the entire con trying to set up and take down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
