Here's a stock '40 for reference, note no seam down the middle of the roof!

Let us know how you remove the seam in the middle of the '40 Woodie roof and feel free to look through my Woodie albums for inspiration/reference. Terry - you're supposed to build that 300B!

I prefer the design of the original, much cleaner! Your profile drawing reminds me more of a modified '69 Camaro, stick with the clean simple look of the original in my opinion.

Here's what they look like...

Here's a couple more artillery wheels to whet your appetite...

Yeah, I've done it this way too, but I always used MS PowerPoint because it's easier to do the visual layout in. About 10 years ago I made up a sheet of License Plates for GSL, all 50 states that said GSL, and whatever version it was in Roman numerals. Anyone that attended that GSL got a sheet in their goody bag. I used to print them on a Canon Laser Copier(not a home printer) and then laminate them on both sides with a clear 5 mil gloss plastic. They came out great and crisp! The plates were all produced on Acme License Plate Maker then sized and paired on the sheet in PowerPoint, then printed and laminated. Here's a sample of a plate from Acme...

Dave - maybe this will help with the profile, whole pic and a crop of the wheel, from a packard show a few months ago - I probably have others but this was easy to find...

I see this all the time, no insult intended but if you don't know the difference between raster & vector images you should learn about working with images before you take on a project like this. It's not rocket science but understanding how things work will enable you to produce a better quality product easier! Spend some time Googling for tutorials on the subject

Doesn't seem all that risque Steve, you could always paint a top on... ...of course he has other, slimmer, figures and don't forget about Scale Equipment Ltd. All these and more on my Aftermarket Resources page.

Those are cool Brian, that museum also has an amazing library! If you're interested, here's my take on it from a couple years ago... © 2008 Dave Lindsay/SoCalCarCulture ...just click on the pic for a slideshow of 472 pics or click on any pic in the slideshow to go to that pic. Or click here for the album.

Leno has one of the three sitting in his Bugatti-Duesenberg room, saw it last month, they are works of art!

Like woodies? Here's my pics from this year's Doheny Wood Show - click on the pic to see a slideshow... ©2010 Dave Lindsay/SoCalCarCulture.com

You guys are right, the one in my pics is a V6, that was what they unveiled at the LA Auto Show. Guess I just looked at the pics and didn't read the title of the post before I added mine.

Here's a few more... all from my 2009 LA Auto Show album.

...another one...

Here's a little more inspiration...

Here's one I saw at a Cruise last week....

I checked a little more and found this in the Model Retailer 2010 Hobby Industry Directory (Google will find it for you) and this is the info for M.V. Products... M.V. Products P.O. Box 6622 Orange, CA 92863 949-770-0489 949-458-7557 Fax Product Availability: Distributors, direct to dealers and consumers, bulk sales to other manufacturers. Contact: Bob Gawers E-mail: bob@MVProducts.com It also lists the website as www.mvproducts.com but it looks like he just registered the name to use for email because the name is just parked with no site built or hosted at this time. Hope that helps!

Like Jimmy said, the items you are looking for are MV Lenses and they are model railroad products. These are available in different diameters & colors for different applications, although I think everything I have seen is round - no rectangles to replicate fog lights. They are available from Walthers. Google MV Products for more online sources and a size chart but if you are ever near a large model train store that will be your best source!

The pics are there - don't know why you can't see them!

Yeah, they may have been but worked well for highlights after painting. I can't remember ever having tried to paint over them so not sure.

Interesting stuff - reminds me of a finer version of the old Rub-n-Buff metallic pastes!

Here's a couple you don't see very often, tin-types from Eastern Europe 1:24... SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com SoCalCarCulture.com
