Beating styrene with a hammer doesn't usually work out to well... ?RRR

And difficult to heat up to red heat too

Looking good @Kit Karson, have you chosen a colour scheme yet? 

Nope! Mocked up the '32 Ford Chauffeur Driven Town Sedan before the ACME meeting tomorrow!

The details are really becoming more and more visible with the primer!

Very cool idea and nice work ! Did any of the cars of this type have a soft top for the driver, or did Alfred have to get wet ?

[David G.]

Nice! It looks like it came out of the box that way.

Yup! This 1932 Ford Town Car has a tan landau top covering the cab! -KK

So cool to see it all one color after all that surgery!

Gotta get after the pimples!

Looks like moisture from somewhere.

Just when you think you are getting somewhere your model gets acne. Coming along nicely

Been out sick, Brother hope to make it back to my bench in the next few days! -KK

[bill-e-boy]

Back in the saddle again!  

Looking back at the coach upper door frames a noticeable problem has surfaced:

Seems that the upper door frame is in dire need of replacement:

Thanks to @Rocking Rodney Rat a leftover deuce tudor sedan roof has been donated to rescue the DTC's ailing door frame! Thanks, Brother -KK

[David G.]

Glad you're back!

Glad you are back! You do such a great job on your builds and how to build that I've really missed your posts! Keep 'em coming!

Finally, back at the bench and work continues on the Deuce Town Car:

Both sides need to be fixed:

 

Left side work in progress...

A little clean-up and on to the other side:

As done on the left side, the filler/spacer for the jamb seam was laid into the opening...

Donor Right Side Door Frame

Work continues & updates will follow... -KK

Got the right side replaced! -KK

Kit, I have been following this build from the beginning and your ability to visualize, and bring these ideas forward in the actual styrene is simply incredible!

Mathias, thank you for your kind words, Brother!  What I do here is not just for me, but to share aspects of modeling that some have yet to discover.  Everything that has been envisioned in this project has been most enjoyable and somewhat challenging at the same time.  Creating a subject one that is not available OTC and two is attractive to the eye seems to be what excites me more than most out-of-the-box models.  What I appreciate most is the affirmation that I receive from my fellow modelers.  So, thank you once again for keeping an eye on my progress and stepping up to comment here on the forum... some do and most won't! -KK
