Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the WIP photos and techniques you used to achieve such spectacular results. I don't know how you manage to achieve such dust-free conditions for the final showcase photos; that's almost as impressive as the model itself haha. Dust..... ugh..... Luckily, with this one it wasn't too bad. Maybe because it wasn't cold when the photos were taken, & no static electricity in the air. I have a huge makeup brush that I use on the model between shots. Even then, a speck will sometimes slip by, it's an easy fix in Photoshop. What's worse are specks on the poster board. Those can be a pain sometimes.

.... Seeing the profile shots on your '36, makes me wonder why Ford didn't carry over the suicide doors to the 3W coupes from the '34 3W coupes, it would have been a natural style wise adding to the already flowing lines of the '36 3W coupes. ... Thanks! Yes, I think that slanted door line would have fit well in the design. I guess the designers figured 3 years was enough & time for a change. If I recall correctly, it had more to do with safety issues than styling...........ditching the forward opening door design.

Ed; you recall is correctly ! the wind would catch the suicide doors, and slam them open, while sucking the driver, and passengers out of the car ! the doors were on the '32 3W all '33s, and '34s !

Hmmm, reflections in hubcaps doesn't seem to bother the Rodder's Journal. But, I think that they also edit a lot out of reflections, too, like I could have done on the body. I think out of scale rims, tires that are not flat on the bottom & no valve stems are a good indication of a model vs. a 1:1. No valve stems on this one, maybe on the next one.

I forgot all about weighted tires and valve stems! LOL! You're right! That is even more of a give-away when it comes to 'fact or fiction'! As far as the reflections are concerned, yours was not as easy to tell as others have been where you can more clearly see a 'giant' taking the photo (or a large camera or hand); compared to a 'normal sized' person in the reflection! LOL!

What they said. This is beautiful. My favorite pic is the left side close-up showing the steering wheel and other interior details. The shift knob alone is a work of art.

Hey, Steve’s Amazing’36 is featured in TRJ issue Eighty-Four, page 10, four pix and a nice write up. It’s just as stunning in print as it was here on TRAK, well maybe a little prettier with what looks like a pro-photographer did the shot at the top of the page.
Also in TRJ 84 are Norm Grabowski’s T bucket (Kookie Kar from 77 Sunset Strip), a Sweet ‘54 F-100 Pick Up, Barry Lobeck’s first Hot Rod ‘40 Ford De Luxe, cool article on vintage 100% TRAKable custom upholstery, Panella Brother’s ‘41 Willys Pick Up B/Gasser, bunch of cool Hot Rods from Missouri and an Art Article featuring Surf Woodies. I would have posted this earlier but was too busy reading! LoL!! If you just pick up the occasional copy of TRJ this is probably one you might want to take a look at, maybe even buy.
It doesn’t replace the hole in my Hot Rod reading after first losing Rod & Custom and then Street Rodder but it sorta fills a little of that void felt when you lose something you really like getting your hands on every month. I’ve really enjoyed my subscriptions to The Rodder’s Journal, saved every copy that I’ve ever got for future reference, working on my fourth tote, they immediately go in the tote as soon as I read them. Less chance of something getting spilled on them, someone squashing a spider, dog gnawing on.... or other unimaginable things that might happen to them.
