Hike is something I’ve been trying to get around to for weeks but the weather doesn’t want to cooperate.

the ocean is

Professional told him to lay down on the couch, asked him questions about his childhood building model cars, but in the end his ego was still bruised and battered like that brownie mix he bought last week at the Piggly Wiggly.

Started messing about with the patina. Not sure I like what I have so far. Just did the fenders and they still need a shot of matte clear to flatten them out but don't want to seal the deal on that yet. The patina on the real car is a bit odd as it's different all over the vehicle. There is yellow on the left side fenders, but not the right. Then there is light blue on parts of the body as well as red primer. A real mixed bag. Found a tutorial from @lou s which I used as a starting point. A keen eye will notice that I also enlarged the rear quarter windows a bit, they are longer on the fordor then the tudor.

"Nuts" said the Queen, "If I had them I'd be King."

Unless you're trying to walk it for the officer that just pulled you over.😵

Bait on the hook disappeared as the fish swam off laughing at me.

Lost in carpet

Now this is not your father's grandma.....

Nap on carpet is hard to see in 1/25th scale but believe me it is there.

beyond reasonable restoration

I picked up two of his bodies recently, 40 Ford Fordor and 63 Ford wagon. They were not as bad as what you described Bill but they were not great. Both struck me as something we would have expected 30 years ago, crude with vague details. The 40 I decided not to use as it was not an accurate example and it didn’t fit the AMT fenders it was meant for. Could I have used it? Yes, but with a lot of work. Decided to modify an original Tudor instead. As for the wagon I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. All the side trim is poor and would have to be redone and the body is very thick. Back in the box for now as there are other options, already purchased, available.

Split rear window OK, split front, ehh not so much.

Begin a sentence with “A-way”, where did that come from?

Dungeon of death

Door dash is a fancy name for a glove box.

Dilemma in da coconut and mix dem both together.

In the front I had to trim the ends of the dash. In the rear I made the side quarter windows fit flush, cut off the original tabs to move them outward. Sme people eliminate them completely.

Steele makes good rubber restoration parts, wonder if Rubber makes good replacement fenders?

Looks good Gerry, reminds me I have to get back to work on mine.

Keep Carl awake

Appearances are everything when you are a lawyer, but an interesting name helps bring attention, I know one named Butts and another named Dickover, I’m sure they hear a lot of grief during their briefs. (Their real names which were not changed to protect the innocent)

Yup, been there done that.

I know, once Discovery took over the Motor Trend app it’s been all down hill. I’m tempted to cancel it as there isn’t much to watch anymore.

Bil, I need all the help I can get,thanks👍
