Fantastic! The back stories and time involved for each are fascinating. I don't have room on my bench for more than one serious project at a time. The ambulance and Herbie were my favorites until I scrolled to the Black Widow. It is stunning!!!! And I have a personal connection to that airplane. My dad worked for Jack Northrop at the beginning of WWII. His first project was to design the P-61 crew ladder in the nose wheel well. Thank you for bringing back those memories!

My builds finished in '24 [OOPS, forgot one, added it]

Thank you. I agree and will pursue the printed options online. Those I've seen look like they'd be perfect, but I can't tell if they are printed as one piece or if the tires are separate. I've asked that question several times, but no responses yet. Have considered grinding there tires away, but that seems like it would be dangerous given how fragile resin can be. My backup plan is a set of Torq Thrust from the parts bin. Have always liked those classics. I appreciate your help! -

Hi Steve; Beautiful builds! I have a couple questions, if you'd be so kind. Where did you find those wire wheels on the Chevrolet Panel Truck...? I am looking for a good set of wires, but want to put some pie crust slicks on the rears. Are they 3D resin in one piece, or are the wheels/tires separate...? Thanks in advance, Steve -
Oh...so that's the secret!

Great paint and fiber!

Difficult times, but your Willy's looks great. Nice paint job!

Hi Steve I am prepared to make either size from any of the 1930s Ford coupes work. My priority is finding wheels that look realistic with V8 hubcaps. The example above from ScaleParts, available on eBay, would be great if I could use different tires. I have asked the supplier that question but haven't heard back yet. I need to know if the resin wheels and tires are one piece or separate pieces (two halves, plus the tire). Thanks for your help; the search continues. Steve

Hi Greg I found the two examples above from ScaleParts on eBay, but I need to know if the resin wheels and tires are one piece or separate pieces (two halves, plus the tire). I want to use different tires with them. I have asked the supplier, but I haven't heard anything yet. I appreciate your help, the search continues. Thanks

Hello; Found these on EBay, but not sure if they are "one piece" or if wheels/tires are separate. I have sent inquiries, but no response yet. I'd like to use different tires. Does anyone know or have experience with these specific items...? Thank you

Hi Gang; Anybody know where I can find a "proper" set of 1/25 scale Ford V8 wire wheels for hot rods from the 1930s....? Thanks

Wow....what a fantastic Bonneville! Congrats on your accomplishments. It is perfect!!! I grew up riding in the back of my parent's Bonneville wagon. Will look for your next award winner in 2026...or before. Happy New Year!

Well done, each and every one! Have a great 2025!

Really enjoyed your fine recreations of the '77 and '78 Coupe deVilles. Great examples of GM behemoths from a bygone era. Excellent paint and superb detail on both. Love the CB radio, "Breaker, breaker, any takers?"

I was not nearly as productive as you were, Claude. But enjoyed every build and enjoyed all the great examples on the posts. Keep em coming. Happy Holidays

This year was busy with life, travels, and fun. I only managed to push out four builds. But each was a fun and challenging learning experience. Merry Christmas, one and all!
-
None of this year's models seem to have suffered from your concentration on your golf handicap. All are very well done and under par...which is a compliment!
-
That would be a blast! Thanks for looking.

Hi David; Thanks for the kind words and great story about how you acquired the Bradley. Keep building! Steve
