Heh guys....thanks for bringing this one forward on the forum once again.  This was one of my most ambitious projects in recent years and while it's not perfect by any means, I am proud of how it turned out. 

Best...TB

We all need encouragement from time to time!  Life has its way of interrupting our collective hobby!!  Sometimes the transition from one media to another can reveal new and greatly appreciated audience's... here on the forum what you build is more important than the builder that built it!  That's saying something, too!!

Your two sedans are examples of what can be done when you create something outside of the box!  Great work and fun seeing your builds here!! -KK

I can’t believe I didn’t leave a comment gushing all over this back when you posted it because I certainly remember seeing this thread. Better late than never, then! I absolutely LOVE this, Tim!! ?

Add me to the list of people wondering how I missed this!

For me, the second shot is killer.  The fact that every single detail of the hot rod is completely parallel to every other component gives a whole new meaning to the word "stance". This Tudor has stance from front to back, top to bottom.  Better still, in 1-1 scale you could actually sit inside it and drive it, further than the length of a fairground.  And the green - couldn't think of a better colour for the car.

The rod run in your display cabinets must be looking pretty cool these days!

Cheers

Alan
