20 Year Modeling Obsession - The Lynx Project

[@robertemmons2260]

What an impressive display of models! Seeing these models makes me realize that I suck at building models. 😂😂😂

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi!!

[@FunAtDisney]

This whole Lynx “history” is just amazing! Wow…..

[@crookedbird6589]

No words. Wow

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Words cannot describe a level of detail in that display simply amazing 👍👍

[@ToyManTelevision]

Right?

[@paulp1530]

Mind Blowing !

[@rogerstrate5727]

I thought the individual models were amazing with detailing and paint (which they are) but now someone comes up with the idea of a "Lynx" showing history of a car that never existed. Blows my mind. Thanks for this great video.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi again Roger! Right? We are going to replace this version on Tuesday. Got some stuff wrong. So we are fixing it.

[@reddog-ex4dx]

WOW! This belongs in a museum in it of its self! The Lynx project is just amazing. And like you said the detail is just phenomenal. I hope I dream tonight of driving the copper one! I want to be shrunk down to 1/28th scale so I could jump in the copper one and go for a cruise. I just can't get over how this Lynx project comes together. You know, with the right camera one could take pictures and make them look "real" size.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Couldn't agree more! In fact, it is going to be housed in the model car museum in Salt Lake City. The problem is this museum is just kind of a private venture between several people and it isn’t really open to the public. What needs to happen? is this amazing museum needs to find a better home where it can be open to the public on a daily basis

[@TheVerecundVigneron]

As this is the last GSL, please extend these videos over time for all they are worth and as long as possible. I know you probably got a huge amount of video. I hope at least a year's worth. 🙂

[@ToyManTelevision]

Agreed. And I’m re editing this one right now. Needs to be better.

[@AquesousSolution]

Stunning details and imagination on the Lynx Project, thanks for the excellent video and commentary.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Glad you enjoyed it❤.

[@loispadgett6306]

What a awesome idea that was and so much fun to see. Those guys most of enjoyed that time of creation. Now they need to design their own cars and do the same. So glad you shared this one with us and Karyn good place to take a car for sure. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🏎💖

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. Mark wanted to build one of these for real and drive it! Almost did!!!

[@stephenriley9084]

Actually sat here in the UK, wearing my Toy Man TV t-shirt! Great tribute to the car that never was. ❤ Stephen.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi there!! Thanks!!!!! Well we got about 127 things wrong on this video. So redux on Tuesday!!

Thanks, you too!

Hum.. Sacramento?

[@davidparsleyscustomscaleemerge]

Just really no words to describe this. Amazing. Thank you for sharing this, I look forward to seeing more from GSL.

[@ToyManTelevision]

More to come!

[@daviddryden8088]

I'm surprised that YT didn't flag you for fake news!! You know...because the car really never existed. What an ingenious undertaking this was. Wow. Just wow. Truly mind blowing modeling. Hard to even find suitable adjectives...thanks for showing us this amazing endeavor.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Good point!

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

This is totally awesome at so many levels. The dioramic work alone is superb let alone the craftsmanship in the model's themselves. I've been a fan of Mark's work for many years but never new this existed, Fantastic stuff. Thanks for showing it. Cheer's JV

[@ToyManTelevision]

I’m re editing as we speak. This needs better editing. It’s so amazing.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great vidio, more fun than grouting the tiles that's next on my morning list.Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@ToyManTelevision]

Good morning! ☀️

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi everyone. Well we got 132 (give or take) things wrong on this video. So on Tuesday a redux. And hopefully this time get it mostly right. These people really put decades into this project and we need to give it much better attention. 😊.

[@kenshores9900]

The rear end of the Lynx reminds me of that Studebaker sports car that came out around that time the Hawk. These guys are sick (in a good way). Still working on my Cannon and Ammo cart project. Have acquired more tools and epoxy body filler. Still priming and about the start detailed painting. And by the way Karyn how many people can remember Johnny Cash’s song about a Cadillac stollen a part at a time. Your comment about the Falcon O Lay was cheeky don’t you think since the Mustang was put on the Falcon platform. Very interesting video that shows what happens when you leave individuals to their own devices. Great video.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi Ken! Yup one piece at a time! I got my mustang that way. Well… it was a car. But after about two years I had replaced every part. One piece at a time.

[@kenshores9900]

@@ToyManTelevision I see these videos where they are restoring VWs and they are essentially welding a whole new car together.

Amazing 🤩

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Superb!!!

Hi. Thanks!!

[@pbyfr]

Very nice series of diorama. The first Toyota was also formed on wood for production. In fact, the diorama on the prototype construction remembered me the Nagoya's Toyota museum, where a similar display (but scale 1:1) exists for this first Toyota model.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Kirkham Cobra still builds their cars on wood bucks in Poland in an old MIG jetfighter plant. They wanted to build their cars in this way, and then they discovered that that’s how MIGs were being built! And after the collapse of the Soviet union, this aircraft factory was sitting dormant. And so they contacted the people there, wrote them out a check for $1 million, and started manufacture their automobiles on wood bucks in the old aircraft factory.

[@pbyfr]

@@ToyManTelevision I remember reading something like this, but I didn't know that it was still active. Old aircraft were often made by hand, but it gives also some issues. Apparently for the French Caravelle, the wingspan varied of several centimeters from one aircraft to the other!

[@Mike-tg7dj]

Very cool idea. I have wanted to build a n scale railroad but I have been stumped with what to center it around with respect to industries on the railroad. I have decided to build it around a aquarium that will look like a volcanic lake complete with underwater volcanoes. This will open up the mountain for mineral extraction as well as timber and tourism! I'm starting to visualize it. I want thought going into this.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Now that’s over-the-top!!!!!!

[@terrydikkers4707]

WOW !!!!!!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Re edit coming this afternoon!!! Need to fix it up a bit.

I'm not involved in model world (excepted I've build some when I was teenager) but last saturday 2 friends of mine were organizing, at Chanteloup en Brie (France) a show including real antic cars + kit car show and as I was detailing (or try to should I say...) Juha's models that really kept my attention amongs the others...and was lucky to discuss with this amazing person that Juha is. Of course we discussed about his creations and tricks but we discussed to about his other passion and I was very surprised about his other passion/collection and choices... ☺

[@futten3230]

@@williamfreret6859 yeah you dont expect his other passions but yes his deep interest in funk music and that he has only owned 2 door coupe cars and his work hes a very interesting character and extremely skilled model builder and maker i have some of his resin castings i really should get my ass in gear and build one of them but to a degree i dont feel i can do them justice lol i took one of his dodge mirada kits and ive turned it into a oval racing car he featured one of my models ina finish magazine once that was a great honor for one of my modeling heros to like my model to the point of publishing it in a magazine

[@bob_._.]

The BP coupe also survived, at least for a while. I saw it run at Nelson Ledges in 1965 but heard it got wrecked later in the season.

[@ToyManTelevision]

😢. Shame. Dang.

[@robertweldon7909]

Why do I get the impression that the Lynx looks very much like a Sunbeam Alpine? Neat car, they should have made a real one (from a Sunbeam?). ;-)

[@ToyManTelevision]

It’s that. And t bird two seater. And mustang. It amazing.

[@tomkibbe835]

why the last gsl?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. So much work. And Mark is almost 80. And well… time to move on.

[@BoltRM]

The Lynx needs to be a kit car body that goes on top of ___?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Kirkham Cobra.

WOW who in our Generation didn't want to Design & build our own cars & have Detroit pick it up..The Foundation of "Hot-Roding" & NOW Handbuilt Custom's

No kidding. Mark was really serious about actually building the 4th version as a real car!
