Tumbler75 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Amazing work Harry! I watch in silence as words can't describe the "In Aww" that I am over the realism and overall craftsmanship of your skills on these wonderful builds. Thank you for sharing.
Maxicoop Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Awesome collection Harry, beautifully done, and you're right you don't see those very often I think I've seen one or two at a show and if my memory serves me right they had a pretty penny price on them ............ yours are awesome...... thanks for sharing......
Silver Foxx Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 These are so nice , you put so much nice detail into your work . I was recently given about 6 of these type of old vehicle kits . Some 1/16 , some other scales , all unbuilt .
michael1969 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I love the look of all of these. Something about a car you have to look up to be able to identify. I have a few Minicraft and the Lifelike series. Might just have to wait longer on those til my skills set gets better. Yours are just beautiful.
58 Impala Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Beautiful work Harry, some of those Aurora ( the Stutz, the Olds and a few others) kits where the first kits I ever worked on. My dad bought them and showed my brother and me how to build models. They ignited my lifelong passion for our hobby.
madhorseman Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Great workmanship, I'd have to agree with the above comment, that they look more like diecast than plastic models.
drifterdon Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Fantastic builds Harry. Each one is a museum masterpiece in it's own right.
blunc Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 great builds, I always enjoy following your build threads.
mangodart Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 It sure not is my cup of tea but I have o recognize that you did a fantastic work on them, looks like 1/1 models !!!!!
DeeCee Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Mine neither, BUT, they do look incredibly well done. A credit to your skills.
Mach1revo Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Amazing work Harry!! I love the Fire truck!! What are you using for the brass? Alclad?
Harry P. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Amazing work Harry!! I love the Fire truck!! What are you using for the brass? Alclad? On each of those models with a "brass" radiator shell, it's the brass-plated kit part. For the rest of the brass, like lights, horns, and all the various other brass details: Rustoleum "Metallics" spray paint (color is Brass), then a wash of acrylic black craft paint and Future to bring out the detail in the "nooks and crannies.". The thin lines, like the edges on some of the running boards, and the pinstriping on the fire truck, are Gold BMF. I don't think they make a "brass" BMF, but their gold foil is pretty close to brass.
om617 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 These looks fantastic,really old cars have tons of charm.
peekay Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Must have missed this one - but I enjoyed watching them take shape. A truly beautiful collection.
Faust Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Holy Moses! I'm both inspired and intimidated at the same time! Harry: Those are gorgeous! I love Brass stuff too, and those look fantastc! Great work on a genre most people don't even know about!
Zippi Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 I think I missed this one as well. Really nice looking quality work. I think you are correct, I think this is the first I've seen of any Brass Age vehicles. Very nice models.
rickcaps55 Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Those are all very cool awesome detail hay this is were it all started i enjoyed seeing them.
