I took some new pics of some older builds,,,,,some not TOO old.
This is the chopped '40 Ford mastered by Rik Hoving and resin cast by Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Md. Paint is Tamiya lavender, but it came out a much darker purple than I exspected.

I added the peak on the trunk to duplicate the peak on the hood and cowl. '46 Ford tailights and a sunken license plate.

Scratchbuilt anntena with foxtail made from Q-Tip cotton and painted with water based paints. Vent windows opened.

Made a hinge-mount mirror with small silver wire.

Flattie from the kit with all the normal detailing.

I'm sure Norm will be selling more of these in Toledo.

Relay box on firewall is exquisite and the black rubber molding on the windows is a great touch. Not many take that route. Nice work.

For me, that is top-shelf stuff! I like all your detail additions - antenna, fox tail, mirror... Taillights and bumperettes work well back there.

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: fyi I did Pay for ad free here, I might have to renew that Jan 23, 2024 23:51:04 GMT -5

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

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 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

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5
