That's not the "edge" of anything. That's just a gap between the side panel and the floor. Just wanted to prove that all of my models have easily spotted flaws. Embossing powder can be found in most craft stores. It comes in many colors but I just buy white. Apply it just like flocking. Use either white glue or water-based paint( I prefer paint) . Spinkle it on immediately while the glue or paint is wet. Let it dry thoroughly. I use only white because it can then be painted whatever color you want.

Been using embossing powder for carpet for a couple of years now. Apply it the same as flocking. I use white because it can be painted any color.

New resin from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland. Donor kit is Revell 5-window '32 Ford. Cowl lights added from the '32 Sedan kit. All '32 Ford cabriolets were rumble seat cars. I did NOT make a working rumble seat but I added the step pads (photoetched brake pedals on plastic pieces painted flat black) and the grab rails from an AMT '29 Model A kit. Wheels are from the latest reissue of the Monogram '30 Phaeton. Model Car Garage photoetched horizontal grille. Hood side vents are 1/200th scale stairway handrails from Plastruct with Bare Metal Foil. BTW - I've reached a milestone. This is the 32nd. Revell-based '32 Ford I've built since the first kit was introduced in 1996.

Sure,,,,,even though I have no idea what "the galaxie CD" is. I'm rather amazed at the response to this model. I slapped it together in a little more than a week and it has gotten almost 1200 hits and 40 replies. Maybe I should quit spending 2 months building detailed models. Thank you all very much for the comments.

Very cool. I like the color and the blown W-head Chevy motor.

It's a 50 year old tool. Promo chassis and no opening hood.A good amount of custom and styling parts and lots of chrome.

The Dudek lakes pipes are aluminum, so they just need to be polished. Thanks to all for the nice comments.

Yes. Lots of Tamiya Clear and lots of polishing.

For a change, I wanted to do a simple build (what is now called "curbside) like I did 50 years ago - without the brushed-on paint and the glue prints. Except for the Modelhaus Radir wheels and the Bob Dudek lakes pipes, this is pretty much straight from the box, right down to the screws in the chassis. Paint is Duplicolor Orange Mist, top coated with Tamiya clear orange. Roof is Tamiya pearl white. Weird decals are right out of the box.

In addition to the above info, the '32 Ford cabriolet has a FIXED windshield frame, as opposed to the thin, bolt-on roadster frame. The cabriolet roof is a lift-off item. It is entirely different than a fold-down roadster canvas top. Roll-up windows (on the 1:1) have a chrome frame around them. Door handles are below the beltline. '32 Ford cabriolets came standard with a rumble seat and cowl lights. This resin body is pretty much stock, but is meant to be used with the 5-window street rod interior pieces.

Thanks for the nice comments. Somehow, I screwed up and didn't know that the pictures were gone.

New resin from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland. Fits Revell 5-window '32 Ford kit. Obviously I have already painted the top in these photos.

AMT Phantom Vickie cowl grafted to a Revell roadster body and channeled over the frame. Phantom Vickie chassis with AMT Wagonrod LT5 engine and wheels. Interior parts from all 3 kits. A few odds and ends and a couple of scratchbuilt parts. Paint is Duplicolor silver with LOTS of Tamiya clear (because the hobby shop was out of Testors Wet Look Clear ) I didn't realize I screwed up and made the pictures disappear. Here they are.

53 years

Absolutely fantastic. This is really an impressive model.

It's an old wheel cover (Studebaker, I think) from the junk parts box, surrounded by sheet plastic, a "flexible tube" (plastic) cut from a '91 Mercury Cougar air cleaner, a couple of bits of plastic, paint and BMF.,,,,,,,,just to be different.

Lots of creativity there. Very cool !

Time Machine resin body . AMT Wagonrod donor kit. Grafted in the "ladder louvers" on the hood sides. Eliminated the Wagonrod headlights and sunk in 'Monogram '39 Chevy lights. Wheels are from,,,uh,,,my parts pegboard. Bob Dudek valve covers and exhaust tips. Paint is Valspar mint green (Satin finish), Duplicolor Cream and LOTS of Testors Wet Look Clear, all polished.

I built the same one from the sketchpad drawing around 1988 or '89. It's one of the worst pieces of junk I've ever built,,,,,NOT the kit, I mean MY BUILD, LOL. The acetate windsheilds have since become deformed. This crappy build was actually the first model I ever had in a magazine, but I really don't know why it was chosen.

It's the AMT Wagonrod. Independent suspension, etc.

Pale green and cream

Interior panels and dash are from the Wagonrod kit. The modified front and rear seats are from a later release of the AMT '57 Ford.

Resin body from Time Machine Resin. Donor kit is the AMT Wagonrod. very nice body - good quality - almost no cleanup required. Oddly, there were no trunk lines scribed, so I scribed them myself. I don't like the headlights buried low in the fenders in the Wagonrod, so I ground and sanded them away and sunk in '39 headlight buckets from a Monogram kit. Modified the Wagonrod hood and grafted in the louvers. Made possable steering. Using a big block Chevy with Bob Dudek valve covers.

If you read the posts, above, you will see that he passed away a couple months ago. He built some really neat models and did fantastic photography.
