Dan Tanna’s T-Bird… in Matchbox Scale
By Stefan Halushka
Falling the breadcrumbs from Jim Rockford’s Trailer… in Matchbox Scale, I discovered another great diorama recreating an another iconic scene from a private eye show by master modeler Stefan Halushka–this one featuring Las Vegas private eye Dan Tanna‘s classic cherry red 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible from televisions Vega$ (12978-81).
One of Stefan’s hobbies is recreating Hot Wheels/Matchbox-scale scenes featuring vehicles from film and television scenes, and he did a nice job here, even incorporating Dan’s vanity license plate, and posing it against the requisite Vegas backdrop. Complete with Vegas cheese.
I mean, really? Wayne Newton?
The former modeler in me gives Stefan a huge thumbs up.
But really? Wayne Newton?
