espo Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Great looking builds. Got to love the Hudson and the unusual tutone '57 Ford wagon.
Scalper Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Great year. Nice collection. I really like the mclaren.
Harry P. Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Lots of beautiful models in that set. Every one of them is a winner. but I'm partial to you classics.
Erik Smith Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Nice group. Really like the Hudson. Edited January 1, 2017 by Erik Smith
donb Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I was seeing mostly classics and then BOOM the Mclaren. Caught me off guard! However they are all extremely well done. A really good year in anybody's book.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I especially like them ........... well ...ALL!!! Great choice in cars and nice builds!
JerseyRed Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Great looking builds. Got to love the Hudson and the unusual tutone '57 Ford wagon. I may have only noticed because I just did one, but the Ford is actually a tri-tone. There's a swipe of yellow/beige between the moldings. A very nice touch!I'd point out the colors on the Delage also but that might take away from your other color selections.Very cool ? start to finish.

The swip you are thinking of was a thin aluminum sheet that had a gold anodized finish on the 1:1 car. The kits decal sheet provides a decal but it isn't very accurate. Bruce did a great job in replicating the OEM look and it might be nice if he could share with use how he did that. I have tried Gold Bare-Metal foil, but it is on the thick side. I have also foiled the area and then painted it with Tamiya clear orange paint and got close.

Very interesting, thanks for filling me in. On the gasser version I just built the decal provided was black. I didn't care for it either and painted it purple in an effort to mimic the color of the stripes I used.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. It means a lot coming from the group of builders on here. I painted the "swipe" with Model Master Brass rather sloppily, then foiled the trim for clean separations.
DeeCee Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Some nice variety there mate, a great years results.
vintagercr Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Very nice and I love the wagon and the colour.
TooOld Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Nice variety of subjects , they all look great !
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Loved them!! The Heller kits are great looking when done, but can be a pain to actually get there. Super nice looking '57 Ford!!
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 All very nice builds, but I think I pick the Charger as my favourite.
