Sixties Sam

That's a pair of gorgeous pickups! Both very well done, but I think my favorite is the '50. Great bodywork, and I like the quad lights! Sam

I found a picture of a Coke can label online and printed it out to scale (took some experimenting), then glued it to a piece of dowel rod painted silver. I was going to make a six pack, but got lazy and made just one! Sam

Great idea for a diorama, and very well done! Amazing detail! Sam

Looks like that '40 front end was made for the Willys. Nice job! The weathering looks like you just found it in a barn! Sam

Ditto what he said. Very nice work! Great paint job!

Wow! That totally fooled me! I thought sure it was real. Great model, and incredible photography and Photoshop work! Amazing! Sam

Great build! The color really pops and gives it character! Incredible engine bay, too! Nice job! Sam

That's a beauty, Lyle! Really well done! Great colors, and I like the recessed license plate. Chevy should have made them that way! Sam

Nice! I like how you did the two tone paint treatment. Good color combo! Sam

Very nice rod! You don't see many in white, and the blue sets it off just right! I like it a lot! Sam

Hi, guys. I thought I would show you this diorama I'm working on. It's a 1/25 scale railroad car style metal diner with cars in its parking lot. Time period is the mid-1950's. It's still in mockup stage with much work to do to finish it. Here's the diner: It's made mostly of plywood & balsa with aluminum flashing for the metal on the sides and the trolley top. The outer roof is door stop molding covered with alum. foil from the kitchen. The porch & sidewalk are plywood, and the base is some old wood paneling flipped over and painted with black textured paint. I parked a couple of my models in front to see how it will look when it's done. The interior will be partly finished with some seats with people sitting by the windows. I have to paint the sidewalk, add grass and shrubs, parking space lines, and of course, a bunch of 1950's cars in the parking lot. The roof will have a big sign on it with the name of the place. I haven't decided what to call it yet. Comments/suggestions are welcome. I hope you like it! Sam

Very nice build, Bernard. Looks like some of the models I built back in the 60's, only much better! Those old altered cars were cool! Sam

Beautiful car! The paint is perfect! I like the Packard taillights. Sam

Looks like a cow pattie painted red!

Great model, and the photos look real! Great job! Sam

Great model, Chris! It's nice to see something so rare and different! Sam

Nice car! I like how you did the two-tone color scheme. Sam

You could say the light buckets leaked, and when the car's owner washed it, he got some soapy water in there. Claim it's a scale detail! Nice model. Great colors! Sam

Sweet lookin' classic hot rod! Love it! Sam

Ahhhh! A giant dog! Those trucks look real, and very good! Nice work! Sam

Very nice! Merc should have made real ones! Sam

Looks ratty (that's a compliment)! The colors really stand out. Sam

Great save! That looks beautiful! I like the color and the engine detail. Nice job! Sam

I like it, Jimmy! The stake bed is very well done - looks real! Sam

Nice model, Jimmy! I like the color and the detailing. I've never seen a model of a Ventura before. It's good to see something different! Sam
