GEC's EOY 2010 Challenge

[P5se Camelback]

... Due to my feeling like maybe I shouldn't do some major chopping on a vintage kit, I think maybe my project has "taken the siding." I will have to think about it. I have initiated a search for more information re: George D. Stock, as well as a shout out for info on how many of this kit Mr. Stock produced. So I've "taken the siding" and am totally throttled back to an idle, waiting ...

What kind of kit is it? perhaps you could also do what i did here and make a casting of essential parts, and then you won't have to worry about loosing your original.

Just in case you haven't been following along, the answer to that question can be found HERE!

And although the option of making a casting and using that for my EOY Challenge Project is an interesting one, it is unfortunately a direction that would best have been taken back during the first week in November, when there was still time to order casting materials and go through that process prior to starting on the actual project.

That kind of time does not remain, nor do funds to get the casting materials.

I am unable to proceed, concerned now about eliminating a potentially significant (not monetarily probably, but historically, quite possibly) model from history. I hadn't thought of that when I started ... I was all enthusiastic about converting it to the Reading Company's #91210 Scale Test Car. But the more I worked on it, the more I realized it was a "flawed donor." Then it was pointed out to me that I had a piece of history that I was about to totally remake, eliminating any vestige of its former appearance. That gave me "terminal" pause.

I am now conflicted to the point of inactivity!
