Looking to model his full-size car, Larry Ritz built a 1953 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 using a Monogram 1/24 scale ’57 Chevy hardtop and an MCW resin 1/24 scale 1953 Oldsmobile two-door sedan body — changed into a four-door — and interior. He used many scratchbuilt parts, including the console, trunk panels and details, lights, floor pan, and fender skirts.

Saturday, April 15, 2023, the Stark Scale Modelers Club held its 10th annual contest at the Tuslaw Middle School in Massillon, Ohio. A fundraiser for the Tuslaw boys’ basketball program, this year’s theme was Chevy S-10/C-10 pickups, and the contest hosted 42 entrants who displayed 214 models. There was also a special class commemorating the Corvette’s 70th anniversary. Let’s have a look at some of the models!
