Here's what I got done this year. I'm proud of them since I had only built about 6 model cars in the last 30 years!

!956 Ford Crown Vic. This was an eBay beater I rescued.

40 Ford Coupe originally built by me circa 1962. Rebuilt & painted this year.

1953 Ford pickup, also a 1962 build redone this year. Inset in photo shows the original.

This Mustang was built as a gift to my son. It's a replica of his 2008, although I used a Revell 2006 kit.

PT Cruiser is a replica of my real one, shown here towing a model of my real teardrop trailer. I didn't make the doll in the background!

This Model T woody is a parts box kluge just for fun. Yeah, I know - flatheads had headers with 3 pipes, not 4. I used what I had available.

34 Ford coupe. This was half of a double kit by Revell. A 27 T Touring is the other half. Absolute POS kit! Fragile, fiddly, and nothing fit. Looks out of scale, too. At least I finished it!

My scratch built 1/12 scale teardrop trailer, a companion to a 57 Chevy on my campground diorama. This was so different and just fun to build! That's all for this year.

Thanks for the great compliments, guys! I don't take my models to the level that some of you guys do, but I have fun.

I forgot one for 2009. I found this crappy looking 66 Riviera in a box in my house last summer - forgot I had it. I rebuilt and repainted it to look slightly less crappy.

Not the best, but it was fun to rescue it!

Hello there! Great job on all the models,especially the teardrop trailer!! I`ve been looking for a teardrop kit for 1/12th scale but sadly,no kits.Would you consider sending directions to your teardrop for a fee? I would gladly pay for it.I really,REALLY want a teardrop to have next to my 1/12th scale dollhouse.Whatever you decide,great job.Thanks so much for posting the pics.
