Hi Tom! Great year, whatever the colour palette! LOL If I may: what are those wheels on the 39 Chevy Wagonrod? I don't recall ever seeing them... They look fantastic and very contemporary. CT

My year in styrene- the 2023 edition
Claude Thibodeau replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Thank you David! I painted custom bikes and cars (1/1) almost all my life, so it might help a bit with the painting of scale models. I like to try more outlandish paint jobs, mostly on vintage Funny Cars. After all, back then, they often moonlighted as show cars during the off season. Memories... CT -

Hi! While waiting for Santa, I scrolled my profile on this forum to make a list of the models I completed in 2023 (they are not in chronological order here). Oh well: my wife is right: I have way too much time on my hands. The joys of being retired, I guess. Happy holidays to you all! CT

’72 Dodge Demon Drag Racer 1/25 scale
Claude Thibodeau replied to AmericanMuscleFan's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Hi Francis! Well, your latch support bracket assembly is so clean, the Chrysler stamping plant guys would be jealous! I just completed the restoration of the body work on a VERY SANO 1/1 Dodge Challenger (1970), and let me tell you that the OEM stampings left much to be desired. I read in a very interesting book about the design and development of the Cuda/Challenger twins that the jobs in the "body shop" section of the factory were the less desirable, because of noise, dust, fumes, etc. Therefore, the more senior employee managed to avoid being dispatched there, and the least experimented recruits ended on that line. It would explain some of the "approximate quality control" on those cars. But yours is a "racer", so finessing the details is allowed. Bravo for the masterful work, and keep on! So much styrene, so little time... CT -
