Hi Bram,
Wow, nice work! This car looks as cool as the ones in the Miniland/Ultimate
LEGO Book and is of the same high standard (Not to mention that it matches
the same high standard of YOUR other models).

Hey ... I've asked me the same question for quite some time now, too (since
I got my hands on the above mentioned Lego book and saw the front of the
Buick Roadmaster).
Well .. now I finally know, thanks. Quite a lot of buckets needed, though
... a dozen for the front grille alone. And what are those 6 chrome parts
you can see below the bumper, are those these bucket handles, too (or part
of the above dozen)? I admit it's still totally unclear to me how those
parts are attached.

By looking at most models in Miniland (and wondering how some parts are
miraculously attached together), I think glue is a VERY common "little
helper" for LEGO designers.

P.S.: Speaking of chrome grilles: I just noticed that I "could" equip my
Chevy with a golden chrome grille by spending a whopping $144 ordering 48 of
the 5313 sets at S@H. So ... err ... maybe NOT.

| (...) Thanks, Adrian! Those parts are Belville bucket handles. I had seen the part used on the models in The Ultimate LEGO Book, but I didn't know what they were. Then I saw them at Rich Schamus's house, where I stayed for Brickfest 2000. Later, I (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)
