Three Fords for the grandchildren

[kjohan]

Built these during beginning of the year for the grandchildren.
Now they are small, not in an age to appreciate. Later ? Perhaps .....

IMC Ford Model T Tourer 1911
A nice kit and nice to build such and old car
The kit, parts quality and fit was quite ok, despåite many fiddly rods and supports which I actually managed to avoid breaking
The only issue, for me at least, was the design and assembly order of radiator-front suspension-engine into the car
Uncertainty of proper positioning and location there
Was only one way to build
Yes there shall be a large brass "tank" on the left foot step, had not got that one in place when I took the photo
But now it is there

Monogram Ford Model A coupé 1930

AMT Ford Tudor 1934   Previously posted here some months ago

These two were very straightforward
All three kits had engines which invited to some extra detailing concerning wiring, hoses, rods etc

Am not satified with my finish on the two oldest cars , but like to look at them anyway

With these done, now a rather diversified work bench of coming/ ongoing builds: Tamiya BMC mini 1964, AMT Prestige POntiac Bonneville .65 and Monogram chapparal Copé -66
Yes that one have/ had sink marks in abundance

Beautiful looking builds. Far too delicate for small hands. Might get them something along the same lines but in a die Cast that might survive until they can appreciate these. 

[Kah puts]

They look marvelous. 

[happy grumpy]

They all look pristine. A beautiful tribute to a bygone era.

Very nice! You know, each individual model is quite nice on its own, but I am really drawn to how attractive the display of the group of three is. A case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts! This reminds me of an automotive museum display, the kind that leaves a real impression on you, and it's hard to pick a favorite! Well done, all, but I do find the subtle two-tone green to be especially and unexpectedly beautiful. Well done, and I hope the kids can one day appreciate what went into these.

They are all very nice, but no hoods? I’m liking the brass era cars more all the time!

[kjohan]

Yes certainly they have hoods but I was lazy in the photoing and thought without hood were more interesting

Thanks for your kind words above
