Great paint colors and finishes. Like all the trim detailing and the wire wheels.

Great looking paint finish. Good display of all the weapons.

Like the effect with the fabric, I'm going to have to remember that one.

Plastruct and Evergreen both offer various sizes of plastic in strips than can be used to simulate body trim. Try laying out your design using thin masking tape as a guide for the trim in the desired width. With the tape as a guide, you can glue your moldings either above or below the tape however it works best for your design. I have used Tamiya extra thin liquid cement; there are other brands that should work just as well. As an example:

Had the same problem here this spring. Just leave the feeder's empty for a week and then only put just a very little seed in to see if they return. Had to do this twice and the undesirable birds have seemed to move on.

Been great weather for the last three or four days with temps in the upper 70's and even getting to 80 one day and the winds have died down to single digit velocity from the near gale force winds we were having. But this is about to change tonight with heavy rain and winds returning. It is spring after all.

Great looking paint finish and body trim. The interior colors look good. Thank you for the heads up on the interior mounting issues.

Smooth looking paint finish and well detailed interior. Like the wheels.

I do all of the exterior body paint prep up to the point where it is ready for the final color coats of paint. I'll then mask off the window openings from the outside of the body and then spray the headline color. Allowing sufficient time for the headliner paint to dry I'll then mask off the headliner then paint the final body colors. What I have found it neater to touch up the headliner paint if needed than it would be to do touch up on the bodies final paint work.

Amazing body trim detailing and paint finishes.

Amazing chassis and interior detailing. The paint finish looking really smooth.

Beautiful paint finish and color. The white trim looks good with the matching interior. Like the engine detailing and the wheels.
-
Like the body color and the wheel & tire setup looks great.

Glad to see that you're back on the bench again. The '56 Ford Victoria was a good-looking body style. Like the idea of masking the side trim so that you don't lose the trim details under paint. You mentioned some custom body work, is shaving the hood and trunk lid in that?

Beautiful paint finishes and colors. The original looking chrome trim and interiors all look great. -
I think I recall that MPC also offering a '32 Chevy in a coupe body style as well.

Reminds me of a '67 Chevrolet Impala SS dash.

What did you see on the road today?
espo replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Last night was the first of the season Friday Night Concert and Food Truck gathering at a local winery. Often someone will show up with a nice older vehicle and gets a front and center parking spot near the seating area. Last night we had a '56 Ford T-Bird in black on black with chrome wire wheels with a new Corvette backed up behind it. Later the T-Bird was gone and replaced by a cherry mid '70's C-10 short bed in white. Great music, food, people and some wine as the sun went down. A lot to be said for living on the edge of the prairie. -
Great looking paint finish and color. Clean body trim. Like the wheels.

AT&T and their Email service. I can't express my frustration with their service here without getting this locked, but. Every time they have an update for our internet service, they no longer will recognize my password to get into my Email account. My wife is able to correct it with her past background working for Reynolds & Reynolds installing commercial systems in the past. Gets a little embarrassing having to have her jack with it almost every other day.

Used to live by a small body of water that would freeze over often during the winter. Canadian Geese, I curse the birds but not the country, would hang out all winter and destroy our yards eating what grass was not covered with snow and defiling the countryside with their droppings. I would enjoy watching an occasional Bald Eagle dinning on a Gose dinner on the ice sometimes.

Moebius F-350 Tow Truck

Great looking build. Like the way you finished the bed, tires and other parts to represent a vehicle that is in use. -
Maybe this could be Robin's driver?

Thanks for the pictures. To try and answer your question of what year was the photo with the cobblestone street in it. I noticed two '55-year model taxi's going away from the camara the closest one being a Plymouth and the one in front of it is a Ford. The little car at the curb facing the camara looks like it could be a Hillmen Minx.
