I have tried to find a print of David's Highland Park cutaway for sale and I am unaware that he or NG are/were selling them. Did they ever release them for sale? I would love to buy a large print of that for my office.
FWIW, I have the pewter Franklin Mint Model-T Assembly Line model, and after seeing Steve's model rendition of the Model-A assembly plant several years ago, I have always wanted to commission someone to use all of my Hubley/Scale models to build a 48" tall by 96" long 4-level diorama rendition of a Model-A assembly line in 1:20th scale for my lobby area. Maybe one day it will happen.
