Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 2019 was a year of change, experimentation and recapitulation for me. Below my builds are presented in order of completion. 2019 started out with a fairly ambitious project which was begun in 2018 but was sufficiently complex to bleed over into the New Year. That’s the resin bodied Fiat Competition coupe. Then I worked in new subject matter as far as modeling is concerned, but something I actually know a fair amount about, classic sports cars. I built two Porsches on the trot, a 356 and a 904. This was followed by a couple of experiments in patina, a bare metal Deuce roadster and a barn find ’48 Ford street rod. Then I finally got around to building a project I had wanted to do ever since I built my first (and thus far only) Rat Rod for the 2016 NNL West – a “clean” show rod version of the same car, based on a ’29 Ford RPU body shell. And then finally a couple of half-finished projects from my stash finally got completed, a ‘29 Ford altered roadster and a late 50’s style digger. I certainly enjoyed sharing them with you all. Here’s to a happy and fulfilling 2020!

Plowboy Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 You had a great year of building Bernard! I can usually pick a favorite out of any group of models. But, I can't here! I like them all equally! Well done!
TooOld Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 The Krazy Koop was a fun one to start the year with and you followed with a bunch of great models , a really great year !
bill lanfear Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 All are very nice! Love the 32 bare metal and the old digger!

Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 Thanks to you all. It's good to hear from so many of my favorite modelers here on the MCM board. Your fine work and encouragement are always an inspiration..

Phildaupho Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 A very bountiful year of model building indeed. I like them all but had to back for a second look at your Porsche 904.
David G. Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Excellent work! I especially like the bare metal Deuce. David G.
Claude Thibodeau Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Hi! Your bare-metal 32 puzzles me... Is-it an application of Bare Metal Foil, or do you have a secret technique to get that finish... Just curious... CT
Earl Marischal Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Top modelling! The 32 and the short rail especially catch the eye. steve
