37 Ford Coupe

[cobraman]

Just finished this one up. Black metallic fenders with a metallic grey on the body. Built completely box stock. I forgot I used the same colors (or close) on a 40 I did a few months ago. This will be one of my closet cars. Back in the box and put on a shelf in the closet. Not good enough for a display. I have been turning out some real sub par work lately. Not sure why that is. Oh well, better luck with the next one. Thanks for looking.

Nice. I like the colors.

I'd also like to see more of the '40 you show with it.

Awesome job Cobraman! I love the pair together.

Sub par? Closet? I think not! Come on Ray...don't under rate your modelling abilities...you rock!

[tbill]

Ray, you must have one cool closet, cause that looks like a keeper to me. nice job on that, I also like the contrast between the two.

[cobraman]

Thanks guys, you are too kind.

I like it! Display it. It's better than most of mine!

Ray, I wished my best models looked that good.

[slusher]

Ray, very sharp model. Nothing wrong with it. You should display it with the 40 Ford...

[cobraman]

Thanks guys but photos look better than the actual model. In the closet she stays ! : )

Bummer Ray. Sure looks like a sweet ride to me.

That's the color scheme of the Colorado State Courtesy Patrol* in the 30's, although they ran the Ford 2-door sedans rather than coupes. Still, it's a pretty sharp looking color combo.

* The Colorado State Courtesy Patrol was the forerunner of the Colorado State Patrol, the state's highway patrol.

Nice (two) little cars I like the old ones. The colors matching very good to both.

Ray, good lookin' 37 Ford!

I love the 40's too, but the 37 seems just a touch classier, I mean the real cars.

I like that you show them side by side! Haven't seen them like this before. Very nice.

The 40 looks like a real clean build, good job.

If I am back at the bench, surely you can get back there.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Ray like both of them.

Ray, I think you're being too hard on yourself, although I'll admit that we are all our own worst critics. Your models look great. I only box up my older models because I don't have enough room yet to display them all.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Man Ray. they both look great to me. The '37 is clean, has a fine gloss and fits together well. What's not to love?
