I got a hold of a couple of Roger's outstanding AMC Rebels... but I didn't realize that they were all done with the Rebel Machine hood scoop. Now, it's not that I have anything against the Machine, I just wanted to do one with a stock flat hood. So I did...

Rick, That looks great, a friend of mine painted his real one the same color combo. Excellent choice of colors...

Ah, some nice Kenosha Muscle for a change. Well done.

Anyone ever do the AMC Marlin in HO? They are one of most unique cars that AMC ever did, in a good way.

Funny you should mention that. I just saw this guy's stuff mentioned a couple weeks ago on Roger's board...

I have NO idea what he could have used as a master, unless he's carving his own. Is there a diecast Marlin out there?

if you check his other items, he has the same Rebel body I used here, all done up as The Machine in red, white, and blue. AND he has a kick-a$$ Gremlin, also originally one of Roger's creations...

edit: okay, I just found this one too...

Ahhhh... is that the Corgi one? The absolutely only diecast Marlin I could find an Internet reference to, in any scale, was made by Corgi...
