1941 Lincoln Custom Conti (ambitious 4th Build )

[The Danish sprue wrangler]

hey so just finished my Biggest Build yet i was pretty ambitious and just went for it . this build saw me trying airbrushing for the first time and also working with putty . i wanted to remove the Hump (trunk ) of the continental to make it look like my vision for it.  and i also made the hood open side ways  and lowered it  . i had some problems along the way but it is only my 4th build ever . so all in all im very pleased with the result . i hope you guys like it .

im very thankful for all the freindly folks that followed the build so many great and encouraging comments along the way .

oh i keept the Trailer of the build tread  but i used the Trunk area that i removed  and build a little teardrop trailer around it . just for fun ...

here it is

so that is it . i really pused the limit of my skills on this . im still a noob afterall .

anyway im pleased ...

That's not too bad for only your fourth model car. You were pretty ambitious, restyling the body and using putty. Nice result. One suggestion, though... your ignition wires are waaaaaaay too big. They look like garden hoses! You need to use much thinner material for ignition wiring (a tip for your next model car)...

Pretty cool, nice idea turning the trunk lid into a trailer.

Spark plug wires aside, that's a pretty nice effort for a fourth model. I think my fourth model was the first one I painted. 

[Jon Cole]

Style wise, you nailed it! I would be proud of that.

The styling is quite striking. I love your vision and I'll have to think about that for a bit.

[V8 Trucker]

The plug wires are perfect for a piece of art ... you have a very good eye. I hadn't seen the trailer before this ... ehhehe  brilliant place to store the rear end!

[DrKerry]

Great customizing work on the Lincoln! The trunk looks good with a smooth curve, and I like how you made the trailer from the old trunk! Very creative work here!
