Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 2018 was a year of progress in my building skills with (at last) some sort of consistency to my paint jobs. I also introduced more variety to my subject matters with, among other things, my first modern car, an Acura NSX done as a JDM. I also explored the classic 50’s American 2 seaters with a customized ’57 T-Bird and a “triple threat” ’57 Corvette, first done as a Cal Club racer, then as a mildly customized show car. The intention was to finish it up in Bonneville form but it’s still on the workbench waiting for me to finalize that version. So this means I either finished 7 2/3rds projects or 9 subjects. Here they are in chronological order. Thanx for lookin’ and a Happy New Year to you all B. Chopped ’32 Ford Race of Gentlemen Beach Racer Built for this year’s NNKL West Theme Table Acura RSX JDM Tuner ’57 Corvette, Versions 1 & 2 of 3 Cal Club road racer (top row) and Car Show versions ’36 Ford Stock Height Roof Resto-Rod ’32 Ford Tudor Sedan Resto-Rod Mild 2 ½” Chop Revellogram based Box Art build of AMT Trophy Series “The Deuce” Roadster Almost 100% Revell and Monogram parts.

ismaelg Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I remember following you 57 Corvette builds. They are outstanding and some of my favorite of this forum's year. Let us know when the Bonneville version is done. All others are really nice as well. I like the Acura too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Beautiful work! I'd have to say that I'm partial to the chopped Deuce and the '49 Coupe. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nice set of builds you have there, Bernard....... and I particularly like the 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thank you all for the generous comments! They are very much appreciated.

Is that the show associated with the Good Guys meet? If so, I haven't taken part because you have to park your models on Friday and leave them there all weekend. If it's a different show I've been thinking about participating shows up here in the PNW. I haven't in quite a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
