Awesome.

Both GM and Ford are selling electric crate motors. I wonder how they will go over with the hot rod and classic car crowd. I think it will be a cold day in August before I replace the 327 in my 60 Vette with some electric contraption. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9000-MACHE https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/electrification Webb Motorworks in British Columbia are converting classic cars and hot rods to electric. https://www.webbmotorworks.com/ I do not like the direction the future of hot rodding is going, but it is better than having it die off.

Blender 3.x is well worth the effort and time. It is now my primary tool for 3D polygonal modeling and a huge improvement on Blender 2.x with a more user friendly interface. In the past I used Wings3D, Hexagon 3d and Silo 3D. Silo3D comes close to Blender, but Silo is only a modeling app, costs $100 USA and does not have the extra features (rendering, sculpting, grease pencil, animation, etc) of Blender. Attached are a hot rod for Santa I was working on during Christmas but I got side tracked with family issues and did not finish yet. I modeled everything in Blender except for the snow track and engine pulley & belt, which I did using MOI3D ( a Rhino 3D like app only much cheaper).

I tried drawing on my computer using a mouse and found it too awkward. I later purchased a Wacom pen and tablet which is attached via USB to my WIndows computer. Now drawing or sketching in Photoshop is like using pencil and paper. Took a few weeks to adapt to the Wacom pen and tablet, but well worth the efforts. Also a true sketching app like Art Rage or Rebelle makes a world of difference and both emulate natural medias like pen, pencil, oil, chalk, markers incredibly and IMHO much better than Corel Painter. I have all four apps Photoshop CS 2023, Corel Painter 2022, ArtRage 6 and Rebelle 5. I use Photoshop for photo editing and sketching and Rebelle and Artrage for adding details and colors to the basic sketch. Seldom use Painter.

These are very cool and nicely done. Many thanks for sharing.

Jaw dropping gorgeous... I have no idea what you mean by newspaper printing plate or what it would be used for. Love this car.

Top notch.

Outstanding. Love the idea of robbing diecasts for parts.

Cool builds.

Fantastic build. Love it. I wonder what one was built as a hot rod, how it would turn out.

Underpowered but sexy and exotic. Awesome build! And fantastic photography...

Love these old Triumphs and MGs. I was not aware there were kits available for the Triumphs. Great build.

Looks pretty darn sharp. Is this a old Monogram kit?

Love it...

Cool T-Bird!

Love the stance, this is one fine Merc!

Looks stunning. Great color choice!!! Love the wheels!!!

Nice build.

What a beautiful model. Love those Packards, Cadillacs, Lincolns, Auburns, Cords and Dusenbergs of this era... If it's too cold or wet outside, you could tune into a NY Rangers game as they look like legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup this year.

One cool dragster, thanks for sharing....

What a novel idea!!! Turned out great!!!!

I wanted to buy this model when I was a lad in the 1960s! She's a beauty, many cheers from Nova Scotia.

Love these traditional style American hot rods. Looks like it belongs in the pages of "The Rodder's Journal"!!!!!

Smart looking Impala.
