    Nice work! I like seeing unusual kits built and this is certainly one of them. ICM makes nice kits.

    I've just poked around on there for a bit and that's a great site! This is another Ford site I use for period images. https://fordimages.archivea.com/perl/home.pl

    I was thinking of going with the TS-11 for mine, but am trying to use up cans I have in stock before I go buy anymore! That shade of maroon looks very nice with the wood on yours.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone! I normally don't photograph much when I build, but have recently started doing more.

    I have a couple of the 1996 reissues of the Honest John missile with transporter which is the old KW. I've never measured it but I think it's closer to 1/40 scale than 1/48. The scale isn't mentioned on the box or the instructions.

    Nice score! The Hubley roadster is a good find too. I try to buy up all the Hubleys I can find. But then again I'm partial to Model A Fords anyways!

    My rendition of Revell's '49 Merc wagon. Pretty much built OOB with the exception of putting a flathead from my parts bin in place of the Caddy mill. The body color is Tamiya TS-33 dull red with TS-13 clear, then sanded & buffed. The wood is Humbrol 63 enamel. I painted the wood and woodgrain decals with Tamiya clear yellow to give a varnished effect.

    The first shot of the beach is great!

    This was one of my mother's favorite bands. She had pretty much their complete catalog of albums. I always thought it was cool that one of the guitarists was an old Ford guy. That's a Model A Ford he's leaning against with a AA Ford truck in the background. From the liner of their Diamond Girl album-

    These were all taken with a smart phone? Very nice work!

    I'm going to look into this. Thanks! What little B&W I've done was converted in the program that came with my Nikon.

    Nice shots! I never messed around with block & white too much, but seeing your photos makes me want to!

    I normally don't do much wildlife photography, but a recent kayak expedition with a now ex-GF turned up a few good shots..

    I too don't understand the whole obit thing!

    Don't know if it's company wide, but my local Rural King had Duplicolor paint marked down to $2.99 each. I picked up a few.

    A couple of the more interesting things I've seen the past couple days. A VW Westfalia towing an ice cream freezer & this McLaren rode by my side for a good few minutes.

    Thanks for posting those! I put my camera in the bag on one of my offload trips to the car. It was a smaller show, but still managed to find some needed kits. I'll be back for the November show.

    I didn't get many photos this time around, but here are a few. The crowd was noticeably smaller as was the vendor turnout and show entries. I'm sure the raised admission price and $4.50/gal gas didn't help!

    Picked these up at the Southlandz show today...

    I've owned every body style of '56 Fords with the exception of a convertible. Seeing these '56's made my day, the convertible is a rare solid Mandarin Orange car. The '57 Chev. convert was parked at a local body shop.

    Anyone with an interest in Ford & body design, should pick up this book. Lots of photos of one off designs and is fascinating reading. Well worth finding a copy! It has a chapter on the 49 Ford & it's design.

    That's William Clay Ford, Henry II's brother. WCF was involved in styling and on the board of directors for years.

    Neat show held in one of the area historical parks. Just a random sampler of the 300+ photos I shot today. The '56 Ford Ranch Wagon & '57 Caddy Biarritz where the highlights for me...
