A lot of these preceding posters are the guys that inspire me to keep trying harder. Beautiful work.

Here's some of my favorite projects.

Except for the steering wheel, this interior is all scratch built

Windows made using model RR basswood strips and microscope cover slide glass. Security bars, hasp and lock made from styrene. Super simple details compared to what yall are posting here!

That is some incredible weathering, Chuck! Very nice work!

Not simple at all! It takes skill to represent worn and weathered building materials and you have mastered that skill! These building details look incredible :)

Dang! You guys are good!

I can't even begin to compete with some of the stuff I see posted in this thread. For starters, I rarely if ever build entire assemblies, like some of the engines posted here, from scratch. But I do like to scratchbuild details and smaller parts.

Tonneau from newspaper dipped in watered down Elme'rs glue, shaped and left to dry and painted with craft paints. The welting is thread:

Quarter window latches out of bits of styrene, brass and sewing pins. A little out of scale, but as small as I could make them and still have them work:

Seat and seat springs:
