  6. Thank you so very very much for your comments. It is very kind of you to say that. Thank you Mr. Thibodeau
  7. The year 1994, just picked up the latest issue of Custom Rodder Magazine (man how I miss that publication) and as usual I went right to the back of the magazine, to view Rick Hanmores, Custom Rodding In Scale section. To my amazement there was a small black and white photograph of my Johan 62 Plymouth Fury and to add even more to my excitement and amazement, Rick Hanmore so graciously said in his description that it was his favorite custom rod of the NNL East. I will never forget that day or the simple kind words written by Mr. Hanmore. This will always be a very special and inspirational day in my life. Now this model was built 26 years ago, and it was my real first attempt at trying to build something for a model car show. The model is the Johan 1962 Fury with the roof being inspired by the top put on a 37 Ford by Posies (you old guys like me remember that one right😉). Interior was a combination of the Testors Chezoom and Tamiya Toyota Corolla. Wheels and tires were also a combo of Chevy Chezoom and parts box tires(the rims were so big for the day😄). And everything painted rattle can Plum Crazy. That special day in 1994 is something I will never forget. I also went on to meet and thank Mr. Hanmore for his kind words and you will never meet a more humble and genuinely nice person then Mr. Hanmore who truly loves this hobby and the people in it.
  8. Stokemodels is very modest, this model is just the tip of his amazing model building abilities and creativity. If you really want to see more do youself a favor and check out his Instagram....just remember to strap yourself in when you do! Amazing as usual Stoke and I will tell you after luckily coming across your Instagram you have inspired me to venture into the world of 3d printing. My Elegoo 4 Max gets here at the end of the week. Wish me luck and thanks for giving me that little push I needed🙂
  9. Thank you Zippi, yes the wheels are a one off custom machined set given to me by my friend and master modeler Dirk Joseph. The body was airbrushed using Mr. Color and it is a Japanese military color called "shallow ocean blue". She was then cleared using Scale Finishes 2K urethane clear. Thanks again.
  10. Thank you Slusher, Thank you Street Rod.
