Also very nice. cheers, Graham

Very nice. cheers, Graham

Very nice. Well done. I scratchbuild Great War era AFVs but in plastic and in 1/35 scale. Using wood worked out well for your model. Hard to tell it's completed size. What scale is it? Interesting way to make the rivet detail. I think if it were me I would likely have something like using the heads of straight pins; depends of course on the scale. cheers, Graham

Just off the top of my head to start, in 1/25 the AMT '34 Ford pickup, the Revell '37 Ford pickup, the recent release of the Revell '32 Ford Tudor, I think the AMT '53 Ford pickup, and I know there are others. in 1/24 various older Monogram Ford kits but couldn't say which ones for certain. VGC Resins makes some very nice Ford flatheads. Which one(s) are best? I kind of like the version in the Revell '37 Ford pickup and the VGC resins ones. cheers, Graham

Very nice. cheers, Graham

I have several old genuine Dremel collets that have worked very well for many years. They are made of steel not like Dremel's current offerings which are aluminum and leave me wanting. I tried several different brands of Dremel compatible collets from eBay and Amazon. They were all useable to a point but where all disappointing in one respect or another - some didn't grip well enough, some needed to be de-burred before use, some had too much obvious runout. For use in a Dremel holding larger size burrs for rough work they would all get the job done. However, I am fussy. My needs and wants were for something a bit more precise. I would suggest, as I did, just spend the extra to buy genuine Dremel Multipro three jaw keyless chuck Dremel model number 4486. These are, or at least were when I recently purchased one, made in Germany and made of steel. Do not try and substitute the inexpensive Chinese Dremel compatible three jaw keyless chuck as these are made of aluminum. I tried one of the inexpensive Chinese compatible aluminum chucks to compare to a genuine Dremel and the difference is like night and day. cheers, Graham

I get mine from Amazon. cheers, Graham

You might try a 1/32" ( 0.8mm ) diameter 4 flute end mill https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07S4FSM4M These end mills will cut on their end and may just work for removing the molded in bits although I have never tried them for purpose. You would still need to use a light hand and use care. I will have to give it a try later on when I am the shop. cheers, Graham

Very nice. I like the choice of magazine on the front seat. cheers, Graham

Very nice indeed. cheers, Graham

Very, very nice. cheers, Graham

Very cool. I'm itching to give it a try myself. First, I am off to start gathering supplies ... cheers, Graham

Awesome indeed. A very interesting mash up of of good ole British iron. cheers, Graham

Very, very nice. cheers, Graham

Very cool, nicely done. cheers, Graham

A very interesting build. I am going to have to give a try to using some gold leaf. Gold leaf is traditional ( i.e. real gold ) but now you can find imitation leaf in a variety of colours sold for finger nail art. Hmmmm ... starting to envision some interesting possibilities. cheers, Graham

Welcome to the forum. I think this is the appropriate sub forum for your post. I find that many complain about the quality of their builds or not being able to complete something. I don't think there is ever any need to do so. I suffer from analysis paralysis and advanced modelers syndrome ( AMS ) which are both made up afflictions. I have built models of various genres for many years and very much like to fuss over small details and try to make things perfect. The reality is that perfection is simply unobtainable. I may aim for perfection but in the end well done as best I can is perfectly acceptable and I have learned to come to terms with that. I have also learned not to dwell on the frustration of trying something new or different and having the results being less than my vision and of not completing some build. I finish about one in ten projects that I start but I always learn something along the way. Some of the incomplete projects will get set aside and some rise again later on, at least those that didn't end in the trash bin straight away. Every project is a success in some way or another, there are no failures - only the failure to learn from our attempts. I quite like your roadster, that looks like the Revell '32 highboy kit. I like your choice of colours, they work well together, exterior versus interior. It seems as though you have a liking for late '60's Camaros. Enjoy what you do and enjoy doing what you enjoy - you only have yourself to please and answer to. cheers, Graham

Indeed it does and the poseable front wheels add an extra dimension creating more eye appeal. Overall, nicely done. cheers, Graham

and also Ford banjo rear ends to fit the Revell kits, but not with torque tube. also some very nice finned brake drums. cheers, Graham Should have also mentioned, also some very nice Ford flat head V8's cheers, Graham

I really like this kit. I have built a couple already and will buy another whenever I see it on my local stores shelf or whenever I mail order something and they have it stock. I like the wheels and tires and the nail head is nice and it is good for other parts too like the choice of two chassis and other options to build either the low boy or high boy. I quite like the 29 roadster too and it is easy to mix and match parts between the two kits. Overall a nicer kit than Revell's 32. What's missing is a banjo or quick change rear end and a decent flat head 8 or 4 cylinder. The kit is kind of like a more modern version of a 50's Ford hot rod which is OK too. cheers, Graham

Very nicely done, clean, simple, lot's of eye appeal. cheers, Graham

Very nice. The interior colour works well with the volcano red. cheers, Graham

Wasn't Bob Ross who used to say something like "happy little accidents" ? Looks the part and overall nicely done. cheers, Graham

Indeed, a very nicely done awb Chevy II cheers, Graham
