For those who do not known,all American paper money bills are 6" long. Great way to illustrate the relative size of the finished model.

Outstanding work. Thanks for sharing.

I have several sheets of printing plate and would like to be able to shape it to build model travel trailers like the Airstreams built in my home town. That would require multiple curves. How is the annealing process done that I see mentioned here and can it be done at home safely?

One more example of how helpful those who follow these types of builds on the forums can be.

Admirable body of work. Your willingness to take the extra time to document your techniques and share them here is one of the core values of our common hobby. Thanks for sharing.

I love mine. As with any paint, surface prep is key to a good result. I use them regularly and am very pleased with the result. I wish someone made one that would give a comparable result for shiny brass.

"Klymapainen" (Cool!)

Very slick.An inspired design.

Those dash gauges are really works of art in themselves !

I have successfully used Micro Krystal Klear. I used that same product to create a pair of driver's goggles for a TROG speedster. I used copper wire to make the rims and then made the lenses by dragging the stuff across them with a tooth pick. I made the straps from painters tape. That dries clear and shiny for a very convincing set of lenses. A drop if in center of a dash gauge works well and requires no mixing like epoxy.

Most model company's chose to produce kits of the high end/luxury versions. The "more door" models doing yeoman duty as cabs and cop cars were obviously not on their radar. Every car I ever owned except one has had at least three doors.

Great model with excellent detail and real world weathering. Thanks for sharing.

The trailers were a hail Mary attempt to keep workers busy as the depression era sales of their elegant cars were lagging. By comparison to their cars the trailers were rather plain Jane in appearance.

Howard,did they have any of the mid '30's travel trailers they built in their collection? They built three different sizes/models IIRC.

Are you using the AMT '34 for the cab?

Maybe we should use paint with antiseptic mixed in?

Gotta love that vintage box art!

A most impressive body of work!

Your workbench is way too clean and organized.

Looks like you're finding the screen shots you need-Good luck and be sure to continue posting your progress.

For some reason I can never open photo files like these. Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting the links as I am unable to do that.

Welcome to the forums. There is a worldwide information base of knowledge and inspiration right here for us all to tap into.

Stop searching for Black Betty Spiderbait Dodge. Simply Search for 1935 Dodge coupe.That should get you the images you need like those posted above by SvanGoch.

Maybe it's one of those that is biodegradable and will dissolve in water.
