Nice period car build.

Thank you kindly Noel . . . This is the oldest model car that I have built so far, the ' Brass ' era of motor cars . . .

Nice save on the figure! A lot of work, but looks like it paid off. Great photography, too!

Thanks Csaba . . . The figure work was challenging for sure, but I got there in the end! . . . I do appreciate your comment about my photography, thanks.

Tidying up those recent photos, and fitted the second spark plug lead in the engine bay . . . The tyres need to be glued to the wheel rims, as they tend to come off while I am handling the model.

The bonnet panels / hood panels are slightly raised in the centre, so they need to be adjusted to fit better . . .

Wow David! That first photo really works well! I think having the car slightly out of focus and the angle of the light source helps tie it into the background quite effectively.

And I do think that the man in the bowler does look like Henry Ford. At least to me.

Nice progress on the car too. Once you get the barn roof to settle in, it's going to look great!

Those were my thoughts exactly, regarding the first photo . . . Being slightly out of focus was accidental and careless, but the resulting image does blend together with the backgound. My light source does match the direction of the sunlight and shadows in the background photo, and that was intentional, so not accidental !

The Henry Ford figure is from the set of three figures by ICM, and all three of those figures are really good . . .

When you say ' barn roof ' do you mean the canvas top, or the hood / bonnet ?

Saying "barn roof" I meant the bonnet. Its shape reminds me of the old barns where I grew up in the in the Midwestern States.

I hadn't noticed anything wrong with the top.

BTY, I won't tell anybody the focus feature of the aforementioned photo was accidental, if you don't.  

Happy accidents and all.
