Yeah, but Kanada didn't have (ahem) assets like that.

I would be proud to have any of them on my shelf. You do fine work sir.

I'm thinking gloss silver and flat black Jim. I've got a good feeling.

Okay, this one is back on the work bench as I just finished my '37 Ford. Working on modifying the kit radiator to include a electric fan and the Viper intake tubes. Still on the fence as far as paint. I'm leaving towards something satin, but not sure yet. Suggestions welcome. Gonna re-primer tomorrow.

Thanks folks. The fenders are my favorite detail as well.

That's high praise coming from you Jim. Thanks guys.

Done. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67984

More pics.

Built from an unmolested Revell 1/24 '37 Cabrio kit, this features parts from 12+ kits not including decals. The stock fenders were carved up and the floorboards removed to be channeled about 4 scale inches into the body. The color is Krylon Italian Olive satin. A reaction to the clear caused the paint to craze and prompted me to go with the weathered style as the paint cracks were so small. The engine is mostly from the 1/24 '39 Chevy. The rear tires/wheels are from the Boot Hill Express. Stylistically I've never really been sure how this was going to end up, but I sure had fun finding out. Because I had to lower the front grill to match the channeled body height, I couldn't tilt it backward as much as I would have liked because the front fenders would hit the tires. If I had it to do over I would have made other decisions but overall I'm pleased how it came out. Here's the WIP if you're interested. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61204&&page=4 Onto the pics. As always comments and criticisms are welcome. You cannot offend me, so please feel free to speak your mind.

Weird? Yep. Real? Nope. Thought you were being cute eh Chuck? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330844851228&item=330844851228&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466

There is no center divider. I have made do with the kit piece. Thanks for the help.

Well done! Passing the love of art is always a good thing.

David, we seriously want to hear more about what you do. You sculpted these by hand or modified an existing kit? They look fantastic in either case.

That's a great collection Nick. You keep getting better and better.

Ditto, I'm really kinda wondering why you'd put that on a model John.

Thanks Alyn. Mostly done with it. Windshield is giving me grief. Completed pics very soon.

No I've been using the clear stuff from Evergreen.

I'm trying to replace the windshield glass for the Monogram 37 Ford cabriolet. It is creased in the center. So far I have been unable to replicate the crease without getting I haze in the plastic at the bend. Any ideas.

This really is right up his alley.

That's some talent right there. Nice work.

Well that's just as nice as it gets, well done.
