Review of Blue Moon car kit

[Curryman]

I recently posted a review on my blog of one of the cool resin and metal pulp-era cars from Blue Moon Manufacturing. Bottom line, it's pretty darn cool. I was on the fence about ordering one for quite a while, and I'm glad I did. It's not like the world is inundated with choices for cars and trucks from the pulp era, anyway. Check it out if you're interested.

P.S. Since I wrote the review, I've come to the conclusion that the car is perhaps a bit bigger than is ideal for 28mm, but getting the scale just right between vehicles and figures seems to be difficult for some reason. Still, I really like the overall attention to detail. As near as I can tell it's a very close match for a Ford Model A fordor.

Great little article. Thanks for the insight.

Nice article.  To me, the headlights and radiator look a little silly.  But (lifting your picture, if you don't mind) this hunk of resin intrigues me:



It would be great fun to hack off the top, sculpt in a folded convertible top and, voila, desert staff car!

I agree with you that the car seems a little too high to be in-scale with 28mm minis, although, of course, figure bases would counteract this effect.  I wonder if it would be possible to reduce the gap between the tires and the chasis, thus lowering the car a trifle?
