Harry P. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 I can email you a jpeg. I'd do it in several sizes and just use the one that looks best. You wouldn't have to size it at all... just print out the jpeg.
Harry P. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Notice how the lacing pattern on the wire wheels in the cars in the above photo are very different? There must have been more than one source for wire wheels back then. That is some great looking work your doing Harry.I will watch this one for sure. God Bless Thanks, Earl!

You wouldn't have to size it at all... just print out the jpeg. You have all my kits I have to print them out to size if your printer isn't working! Otherwise, you already have my file on the emblems. Edited March 5, 2014 by sjordan2
58 Impala Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Harry your model is stunning,you build very quickly. Those cars from the brass era were very majestic vehicles. Looking forward to you finishing it.
Harry P. Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Those cars from the brass era were very majestic vehicles. That's exactly why I love building them. There is so much character there, so much exposed detail and such a level of "machine" that you just don't see in a modern car.
Harry P. Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Getting really close to finished. I accidentally broke off one of the little "wings" on the radiator ornament and it went flying to who knows where... so I fixed it by breaking off the other one, drilling through the base of the cap, and using a short length of brass rod to replace the wings. The "balls" on the tips of the wings were made with tiny blobs of 5-minute epoxy that I painted "brass." The hood isn't really hinged, it's just lift-off, but the piano hinge was faked by scoring lines along a length of aluminum rod and gluing that in place on the top of the hood. I used the hood hardware from the Fuman Mercer kit. I'm still trying to decide if I want the monocle windshield or not.
Pocherphile Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Outstanding............you set the goal high! Rick
Cato Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I think I would do the monocle. It's yet another subtle visual detail which is a hallmark of all your builds. You have 'good building taste' as to how much is too much.

f1ford48 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 stunning! -it looks like a real one. this is what its all about!!!!!!
Pocherphile Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) stunning! -it looks like a real one. this is what its all about!!!!!! Its what I am trying to achieve in my own builds, the best compliment one can give is to emulate another's work. Thats build like, not copy! Not too change the subject, but Frank are you working on anything @ the moment? Rick Edited March 8, 2014 by Pocherphile
f1ford48 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 funny you should ask-I am finishing up a 1919 Dodge Brothers Touring in 1/16. another diecast rebuild. after that I have many ideas- I want to do a 1/8 32 FORD 5 window -STOCK- that may be my next challenge.
Cato Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Harry-what's the decision on the monocle? I want to do a 1/8 32 FORD 5 window -STOCK- that may be my next challenge. Make it a '34 and I'll vacuum your workshop for a year............
f1ford48 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Harry-what's the decision on the monocle? Make it a '34 and I'll vacuum your workshop for a year............ that could be done in 1/16- but I would have to ''UN CHOP'' the top!!!!!
Cato Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 that could be done in 1/16- but I would have to ''UN CHOP'' the top!!!!! I got one of those-I mean the Big Boy '34...
Harry P. Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Harry-what's the decision on the monocle? Undecided.
Harry P. Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Well, it's done. Added the step plates and the STUTZ logo on the radiator shell. In "Under Glass."
PARTSMARTY Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 YOU ARE PHENOMENAL BUILDER AND I'M AN OLD CAR FREAK.A 100 YEAR OLD MUSCLE-ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON CORRECT.SOME OF THE OLD PACKARDS WOULD RUN ALSO!!!-LOL KEEP IT UP-AND ALSO THANKS FOR THE KIND TIPS ON THE POCHER MODELS.I STILL WANT ONE PARTS MARTY

Roadrunner Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I just found this thread....A simply STUNNING model!Indeed it is,... just gorgeous.
sjordan2 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) If you haven't followed this all the way through, Harry responded to my request to build the car from one of my favorite movies, "The Wings of Eagles," with John Wayne. He not only nailed it, he built the best Stutz Bearcat model I have ever seen, in any scale, and starting from pretty weak kits like the Aurora curbside and Lindberg racer.
