Thanks for asking the question, as I admire your projects, it's really nice to have the chance to vote. First I read 215 carelessly and thought Buick 215, my dream engine in a model car but then I read again and yes, a inline 6 is so incredibly beautiful so 215 is my vote.

Great build, the car I want most from Revell or Moebius.

Painting with acrylic/water-based paints requires a different technique. Firstly, it needs something to stick to, not only to hold it once it has dried but also when it is applied, a primer. I am currently trying to learn how to brush paint Vallejo's primer. The paint itself has to be applied rather than brushed out if you want to benefit from self-leveling. Is it good, is it fun? It's not fast, but it's getting better and better for me. Vallejo primer in the right color helps because the paint is thin. Our beloved cat has problems with his tear ducts so I do not dare to airbrush even though I have suction etc. but it will have to wait until we get to the summer cottage.

Wonderful store, Hobbybokhandeln=HobbyBookStore Stockholm Sweden, from the beginning they imported magazines that you could subscribe to, you picked up your magazines from an archive folder and paid. I have been shopping there since the late 80s. From time to time real rarities have turned up. The shops are important for the hobby. That shop is one of the reasons why I have returned to the hobby several times, I lived a couple of blocks away in the 90s and I couldn't resist starting again. One of the owners is a very good modeller by the way.

Tanks, tack I can honestly say that I have no contact with any car builders other than a hello at a show (I go to one occasionally to look and buy some odd stuff). To exhibit with all that it means with a whole day etc has not been on the map before but you should never say never, maybe it will come now when I retire. I saw that you liked my Nova project, it has its winter rest in the summer cottage and most of my modelling is in the thread below.

Best Damn HobbyBookstore in Town. ?

Oh, the chopper is fantastic. Motorcycles are so incredibly difficult to build, you've really captured it. The early 70s (late 60s?) was a cool experimental period. https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Tord_Enström

Very nice, you have really managed to build in the present without disturbing the spirit of the vintage kit, it is more difficult than you think, I have failed to do so myself with this particular kit by the way. Thanks for the material tips.

Oh I really like right-hand drive 32s, it emphasises the sports car genes in hot rods. Of course I also have a right-hand drive 32 on my list of what I want to build one day. I have always had a good eye for English rods with Jago fibreglass bodies.

Hi Tim Thanks for your encouraging message, it really came at the right time, our cat is a bit poorly. Regarding my project, I have been working on some details that are not visible in the little time I have had for modelling. I should have retired a week ago but I was asked (flatteringly) to work for another three months. I have also started my own WIP https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/187992-ford-34-a-street-hot-rod-who-did-not-reach-the-finish-line/ but due to work and a cat it has been put on hold. What have I done then? I have fit the steering column, seat, roll bar, headers and painted the body inside. In addition to this, I have fitted the 32nd masking to the radiator and the job that I am dreading a bit is to remove a crossbar on the frame and build a new injection. In my new life situation (retired), modelling (in daylight) will be a natural part of life.

That one is a classic, I was thinking more shiny red with wheel tubs so big you can just put an oil bottle between them. Preferably I would put in a 1/24 engine ? .

If I ever build a prostreet, it will be a Chevette. Maybe that "promise" will help those who want it reissued?

I'll be watching this build, I like cars that are narrow at the hips.

As said, the door is a model in itself.

This one ?

Absolutely, I don't build my dream cars. However, I always have a clear picture of who would have had the car I build. I have a soft spot for battered pickups and poor man's street machines and YouTube is full of inspiration.

Great builds, love the wear on the floor in the Ferrari 375.

nice, I like the windows, dirty same as the rest of the car.

I think the headers in 1/25 AMT 1925 Ford T -- Chopped Top look like your 1/1. Here is my parts cleaned up, extended, mounting plate and put in the parts box at the moment. The choice is between the radii of the pipe bends and "where and how four pipes become one", a choice between aesthetically or technically equal the 1:1 car.

Many new small plasticard pieces.I finally finished the exhaust pipes, a bit spread out with different angles even on the ends. I glued the roll bar to the body on spacers to be able to paint it in place, we'll see if I succeed. The goal is to wash the body and start painting black on all surfaces that should not be visible inside the body next week. The steering column is almost done now, I have neither resin parts nor 3D near me so I made something(plasticard) that should be perceived as cowl steering in the dark.

Thanks for the input, I will buy a small lathe in the spring, it will probably be mostly small adjustments.

Smaller Nice paintjob and colours.

Wonderful, truly a realised childhood dream. You couldn't have built this kit any cooler. An example of when the result is greater than the sum of the parts.

I usually bounce through each episode and I think he's never built anything more beautiful, better actually.

Like this ? Your build look good.
