Thanks for posting the pix.

Wow! That is gorgeous! I love that you kept the rest of the build so simple and yet so clean. The top has a nice flow, especially from the 3/4 rear view and, judging by the reflection in the top, the bodywork looks flawless. The color suits the car well and shows off the bodywork nicely without being too dark. The interior detail is just right for the build, and the bright colors no doubt help the viewer to appreciate it through those small windows. The rear seat tonneau cover confirms my decision to use one on the Tudor I've got going (Thanks!). I also appreciate that you filled the hood hinge holes in the firewall. The only thing I'd add would be the windshield divider as a final finishing detail.

Would love to see a straight profile shot!

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5
