Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2020 Share 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!

Claude Thibodeau Posted January 4, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Marischal Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Top modelling! The 32 and the short rail especially catch the eye. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
