Looking really cool, you have my attention.

Really nice

Resin cast copies or yourself is one option for the tires.... My question, if you have a very old stash, how do you know WHICH ones are more prone to this horrible characteristic?

Greg, this is the 427 Ford parts pack in the '29. I have a few more of the trucks as well that I will build over time.

I have not checked in on this thread in some time, and with this social distance quarantining, I am finally getting some time to catch up online. Not only has this taken a very different turn that I expected, but the work you are doing and engineering is excellent. Just a thought, when it comes time for your clear record, you may be able to use your silhouette to lightly cut the grooves in the record..

Steven, as I have previously stated, great model. I must have missed it somewhere along the line tho, what did you use for the wheel weights?

Nice

Great time capsule photo, and project for sure

Looking really good!

Thank you sir. The body sides were cut to form the rear of the body, the roof was narrowed and shortened, the glass is cut acetate sheet.

Very cool! The body of this pickup I made from a cut up Paddy Wagon. The link here shows the cuts..https://public.fotki.com/machman/models/builds-2013/c-n-things/

Nope, would notta guessed it at all.

I use it frequently, in certain circumstances. I have used it for dash gauge faces, and on rims where you want the otter lip chrome, but perhaps the inner rim silver (Think torque thrust) or where I may have a one piece wheel tire where you spray the entire thing black, then mask off the tire, and spray the rim color. I will say tho, it has it's limits. It is thick, and due to its surface tension, is somewhat hard to work into tight areas. I mostly recently used it to paint in and around the raised letters on old good year tires, so I could paint the raised letters, then peek away the mask. The This was difficult, but not impossible, to work into all the areas, using a brush, toothpick, and straight pin. In the end tho, I was not satisfied with the paint not sticking, but that was not the masks fault, but when I pulled off the mask it also puled the lettering off. This is where the water based paint is not recommended, as it "connects" with the mask. Like most every tool I have, one tool does not fit all folks needs/tastes, not does it work for every job. You just have to experiment.

Great method. I like to have locating pins, but I like the way you go about it here.

Wow, might be the best rendition of this kit I have seen completed.

Look, photographing a real car and trying to pass it as a model..not cool... Seriously tho, that looks fantastic!

Lots of work done it looks like, but also a lot still to gogfr

Really good looking already

Oh man, not only does the paint looks great, really like the treatment to the paint stand there.

Just today! LOL

That is a cool project!
