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.

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 have all my kits :D

I have to print them out to size if your printer isn't working! Otherwise, you already have my file on the emblems.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
