cobraman Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just finished this one up. Black metallic fenders with a metallic grey on the body. Built completely box stock. I forgot I used the same colors (or close) on a 40 I did a few months ago. This will be one of my closet cars. Back in the box and put on a shelf in the closet. Not good enough for a display. I have been turning out some real sub par work lately. Not sure why that is. Oh well, better luck with the next one. Thanks for looking.

unclescott58 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Nice. I like the colors. I'd also like to see more of the '40 you show with it. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer50707 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ray, I wished my best models looked that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ray, very sharp model. Nothing wrong with it. You should display it with the 40 Ford... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks guys but photos look better than the actual model. In the closet she stays ! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) That's the color scheme of the Colorado State Courtesy Patrol* in the 30's, although they ran the Ford 2-door sedans rather than coupes. Still, it's a pretty sharp looking color combo. * The Colorado State Courtesy Patrol was the forerunner of the Colorado State Patrol, the state's highway patrol.

christian-w Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice (two) little cars I like the old ones. The colors matching very good to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thumbs Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Ray, good lookin' 37 Ford! I love the 40's too, but the 37 seems just a touch classier, I mean the real cars. I like that you show them side by side! Haven't seen them like this before. Very nice. The 40 looks like a real clean build, good job.

Ramfins59 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ray, I think you're being too hard on yourself, although I'll admit that we are all our own worst critics. Your models look great. I only box up my older models because I don't have enough room yet to display them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Man Ray. they both look great to me. The '37 is clean, has a fine gloss and fits together well. What's not to love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
