Richard Bartrop Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 That builds up nice, and you even got the wiring right. Great job!

misterNNL Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Great paint quality and crisp photos. Thanks for sharing.
Dave Darby Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Wasn't expecting this one. Just lovely. May have to build one stock myself. Uber nice job there.
carrucha Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Cool roadster. I like the detailing on the engine.
Rider Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Great looking build, I like the colours. Edited October 3, 2018 by Rider
damodelguy az Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 nice job, like the extra attention to engine compartment. goes to show alot can be done with just paint.
Eric Macleod Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I usually blow by the 29 Fords as so many are street rods but yours is fabulous.
Justin Porter Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 The stock build with the butterscotch color really just makes this classic pop out at me. Happy to see it done this way.
Spex84 Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Love this! Great wiring and detailing, and I'm especially impressed by that double pinstripe on the beltline and reveal. How the heck did you do that?? I also like that you scribed in (or drew) the missing cowl seam. I normally build hot rods, but seeing this makes me wonder if maybe I should try a stock model A for a change. Inspiring work!

Guys, thank you for all your great, kind comments! You guys are Awesome! Spex, the pinstripes and panel lines were done with a Koh-i-Noor technical pen. They call it a "Rapiograph". You can buy various diameter nibs for them, enabling you to draw very, very fine lines. I've used ink and acrylic paint in them. After scribing the missing cowl seem, I drew over it with black Indian ink in the Rapiograph pen. It's great for darkening panel lines in general. Black works, but if you're ambitious, you could mix up a darker shade of the panel color and use that too. On this car, the pin striping was a little nerve racking, done free hand..........and gone over a couple times to darken it up. Whew!
Spex84 Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks Tim--I actually have some old Rapidographs. I'll have to try the acrylic paint trick!
olschoolkid Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Excellent build of a Model A. It's a nice classic style just as Henry and Edsel Ford intended.
peter31a Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Great build of a stock Model A Ford! Love all the added detail.
Dennis Lacy Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) An actual stock Model A Roadster! I really like the color scheme (especially the painted reveals and pinstriping!), the detail painting and extra detail. You definitely got the most out of this old kit!
