I've never done this before - put up an annual recap, that is. Don't know why but all the cool kids are doin' it so why not.

It looks like I got five done this year and here they are in no particular order.

AMT '32 Ford Phaeton:

And last but not least, my '57 T-Bird tribute to Mexican wrestler "Blue Demon":

I hope you enjoy my five and happy building to everyone in 2021!

Great range of subjects. I like the '32 Tub and the Ala Kart style decals on the '34. I actually got to see and more importantly hear the Melrose Missile at the Winter National in '63. Those cars with the engine at "Full Song" will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.  The little T-Bird I think I remember you working on the color lay out sometime ago. Great idea using your inspiration.

Outstanding work Manuel! Plus the variety of builds executed to a consistent high level. I’ll join in with my fav being the 33, yet the Phaeton comes oh so close! They are all winners, congrats 

Cheers and a happy New Year, Misha

You have a great set there! 

I'm partial to the Thunderbird with its tribute paint job, well done!

I don't know much about professional wrestling either Mexican or American but it seems to me that the Mexican wrestlers are way more over-the-top and flamboyant than their counterparts here in the States. In any case, it's a very unique and cool source of inspiration for a paint scheme. It's great that you have the mask as a companion to the model.
