    I've known Paul for over thirty years and have to say he is one of the greatest secrets in our hobby! His work in scale is only surpassed by his work in the 1:1 realm! Everything he touches has his personal mark on it and rarely misses the bar set by other great modelers over the last four decades. My thanks and gratification for his talent and friendship can never be expressed fully! -KK

    "Proportions" & 3D Vision - Absolutely are "part and parcel" and are intrinsically involved in creating a conceptual form imagined in one's own mind. That's why they say, "Seeing is believing!"

    Here are couple of basic rules in cutting up and joining/merging plastic/resin model car bodies: Measure thrice & cut once leaving material to be filed/sanded to shape/size... Cut lines: to leave the line or take the line... that is the question. When cutting, is the line to be removed or left, initially; the angle of the cut may also play a part in slicing up parts... When joining cut parts, edges should be clean and smooth... some joints are flat butt joints and others are beveled or slightly overlapped... Fishplates: using a backing material to strengthen a joint/splice sometimes is necessary... a piece of note paper soaked in CA glue, or a thin piece of sheet plastic used to bridge the seam secured with liquid bonding cement, could/should be used at the builder's discretion... With practice, most seams can be finished with very little bondo/filler putty and finish sanding... -KK

    AMT 2532 1932 FORD SEDAN & 1940 WILLYS COUPE DOUBLE KIT AMT 21896P Switchers 1932 Ford Sedan-Phaeton 1/25 Scale Plastic Model Kit Jim, you are correct! In addition, there were a couple other offerings of the Deuce Sedan. I might have been a bit more specific regarding my earlier comment, by qualifying my statement as being a "Revell" offering being the Orange Crate. -KK
