Jurassic Park will be the next Member's Forum Project. This project will start on September 1st 2011 and end December 31, 2011 at 11:59pm GMT.

Do not post any WIP for this project until Sept.1st.

The Jurassic Park project is dedicated to the auto makes (not models) that have recently gone extinct. Among these are Asuna, Eagle, Geo, Hummer, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, Rover, and Saturn. (Others may be suggested for approval.) These cars can be built anyway you remember them or want to remember them. These cars need a fitting send off.

In your WIP and your gallery, you will be required to state why your project is important to you. Not just any car. Something like I learned to drive in a '60 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe, this is the Hummer I drove in Dessert Storm, I loved to watch Parnelli Jones race his '64 Mercury Marauder, or my dad had an Olds Vista Cruiser wagon just like this.

Most of all, let's have fun.



Don

May I suggest Triumph?

Sorry, the Triumph died almost 30 years ago. This project is for the more recently departed. I considered the Trabant, but that was 20 years ago. I'm stretching with the Plymouth at 10 years.





Don

Triumph may have 'died' 30 years ago but they sold cars as late as 1984, Still over 10 years though.
Bugatti...
That's been a while and they came back a second time.

The only kit i have that may fit is an old 80's Firebird. I have no idea what to do with it apart from a beater.

Sweet! I think I'll have three entries to this:
-1967 Mercury Comet
-1966 Pontiac GTO
-1965 Pontiac Bonneville

hmm... I was afraid of that. I'll keep thinking.

F-TR, the Bandit is an icon.

Banjan Dave, an if only 2012 Bandit is reasonable.



Don

I have a few models that will work.I have a couple in mind.Would it be possible to do a dual WIP.I would like to do a dual WIP with 1997 Plymouth Prowlers that will be done as phantoms.

i am going to do a 67 mercury comet cyclone GT, a 69 Plymouth GTX hardtop, a 69 plymouth GTX convertible, and also a 72 Olds Cutlass Convertible Hurst Edition

I want to take a new '37 Chevy modified kit and add an old '36 Plymouth modified body to it (same kit series, just swapping Marques). Then I want to paint it like Santa Claus is racing it. Unfortunately, I can't think of any sentimental reasons why I need to build this other than these:

1) The first races my Dad ever took me to were modified races (back in the days of the Coupe modifieds).

2) Throughout my youth, I was a big fan of Plymouths...and there were NOT a lot of Plymouth modifieds.

3) I really like Christmas! and I have a great (fictional) Christmas story about how I was bad one year and Santa called me Labor Day weekend to warn me I was on THE list and the only way I could redeem myself was to build him a model car to enter in a model car show on the Island of Misfit Toys. Being that the show was on the Island of Misfit Toys, the show's theme was a misfit category, Plymouth dirt modifieds. Santa needs to pick the car up NLT Friday, December 2, 2011, because the show is that weekend (and if I don't get it done by then, It won't get done before the end of the year).

I guess this can wait until after Labor Day...even though Christmas is only 29 weeks and 5 days away.
