Johnt671 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 My daughter got this model of A 62 T-Bird for Christmas 2013. It's my first attempt at bare metal foil, it was fun to get back to modeling. I've been working on others since then but just learned to use Photobucket to post pictures. I can't believe forgot to do a wash on the wheels. I also have a few models from the old days that I'll post as I get the chance. Here's the pictures.
BirdWatcher Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Nice choice on the color. Interior looks clean, Engine bay looks great too! You sure it's been 30 years? Great work John.
DumpyDan Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Looks great, now move on to the next one. But 2045 is to long to wait for the next build.
wayne swayze Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 You have done a good job on that old 'bird. The blue and white go well together. Welcome back!
Miatatom Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Good job after such a long layoff. Let's see more.
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Nice and clean. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Johnt671 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks,everyone. I'll get a couple of pictures of the two older builds and post them. I also have three models made to look like the 1/1 cars cars I've owned in the past, I want to try and get the pictures of the real ones posted along with the model pictures to make it interesting. The models are a 61 Chevy Impala convertible, a 65 GTO,and a 66 Impala 396 SS.
Johnt671 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Here's a couple of pictures of (I think) of a 32 Ford that is over 30 years old. This model has been dropped a few times and is missing some parts off the rear end, but still looks OK. It survived a move from NY to PA. I need to find the parts I need to fix it back up.

misterNNL Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby.It feels good to find out that you still have the eye-hand co-ordination and steadness of hand to still do it doesn't it ?
Johnt671 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Yes it does. Plus less rushing now that I'm older. Retired so I hove plenty of time to work on them. This is my last old build, once again over 30 years old. I think it's a 41 Plymouth. The motor in this model is so nice I've thought of using it in in another build but I want to save this one. The paint on this one is gray Testors with a clear I found with gold flecks. The camera may not pick the up, but it looks nice. Now I'll start posting my new builds and pictures of the 1/1's I based them on if I can get the old pictures to come out. Thanks for all the nice replies. Edited March 3, 2015 by Johnt671
Scalper Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Looks great. Nice work after 30 years. That paint job is nice.
