carbuilder1950 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) LOL There's a time when most of us have our 15 minutes of fame, and then over time we are forgotten about. I didn't mind being forgotten about, as I was enjoying the hobby, in my own quiet way, and no one was being difficult as they were many haters years ago, and hated it if you were any good at any thing when the forum began. I loved the 20's and 30's cars back then, and here are just a few of what I loved at the time. I was a bit of a scratch- builder for a while, so some of these are one of a kind builds. I included a few other models that I thought you might enjoy. Some done and some on the way. This is a really nicer place now to show models and make friends. Much better now 👍.I like it here.

Snake45 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Some nice stuff there! I wasn't building 100 years ago, but I still have a number of models I built 50 years ago. And maybe a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Payne Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thank you so much for sharing! I particularly remember the Auburn Cabin Speedster- dental floss for the wicker seats if I recall- got me looking at alternate materials and seeing shapes rather than just parts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike F. Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I like it here too. It is fun to show the results of ones hobby to others who appreciate them and to get positive feedback and constructive criticism from those more experienced than me, that helps improve my own ability. Than you for sharing your beautifully done models. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
