Charles, I am in need of some 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk emblems. No drawings, but you should be able to do an approximate scale model from the hand held ones. Reference photos attached. PM me if interested!

Jim, I have had really good luck using artist's pastels for weathering.

Thanks, Zippi!

here's a reference photo of the interior.

Getting more done- bit by bit! Inside sides have been sanded down and thinned. The vertical tuck and rolls are 0.040" half round and each piece was glued in place using liquid styrene cement-NOT a one day job, and that's only one side! The tuck and roll on the passenger side of the dash was also installed piece by piece using super glue since styrene cement won't work with styrene and resin. Other areas of the dash were also improved with putty, styrene, and super glue, mainly in the right side of the gauge surround. Everything has to be sanded and sculpted to final shape. An actual 1/4" wide panel will be installed just under the tuck and roll. These will be finished as brushed aluminum and will include the arm rests. The door handles and window cranks will be mounted in the tuck and roll areas. More pix and info when I get more done!

Amazing stuff-haven't gotten into 3D printing yet but it is definitely in the future! Especially love the window cranks and door handles and the carbs are great!

Looking forward to more when you have more done!

A tiny amount of careful scraping around the chrome trim would really make it pop.

This is one of the all time great kits- enjoy! Have fun!

Love the steering linkage! Looking forward to more!

Very tasty collection of components- will be following along!

Looking good!

Lighting is excellent- really highlights the shiny paint and fine detailing- and of course the stance is perfect!

Looking good so far, looking forward to the next installment!

Great hot rod! Glad you sanded the tire treads- really adds realism!

Love the paint!

Began working on the interior. The bench seat from the 53 Stude was cut in two, then on half was also cut in two, then sanding was begun to reduce the width. Once the right width is established, the other half will be altered to match. Also started adding filler to the inside surface that was cut, using liquid styrene cement for the first bond. Will reinforce that with superglue, then putty and sand. The width will have to be further reduced to fit next to the center console, which was found in the stash and adapted. Looks like the interior sides will be sanded to be much thinner and proper tuck'n'roll and other features will be built up . More pix when I get more done!

Finally got the exhaust together and got a first coat of primer on the body!

Thank you all! Some were started and finished this year, some have been in progress for years.

I finished 10 builds this year- I astounded myself!

Really good trade with fordf-100! I would do another one any time!

Loving the belly tanker! Is this a kit or 3d printed?

Got a bunch of resin goodies from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland for Christmas! Thank you Santa Norm! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Super build! Should blow all the tuners away!

Amazing builds for just one year!
