Where have all the modellers gone ?

[Brizey]

Yes, the 2 figures and some gas cans come with it Tony, but it can also be bought without the figures so slightly cheaper. Very nicely packaged/boxed too!.




Those wheels in the link look very nice!... but wheels?, yes I think I have enough of them for now! . The 4 W/W tires top left are off the very first hot rod kit model I ever made in 1962, Monograms `Red Chariot` model A Phaeton!... it was that kit that started me on the long slippery slope of small scale and full size hot rods!...

Kit bashed 1912 model T Delivery Van finally finished with Texaco livery, well pleased with the result!









Hmmm, not sure Henry or his works manager approve though!!...

Cheers John, are you working on any models these days?...

That's come together in a very pleasing way. You nailed it!

I like the way you did the figures, they add to the car rather than dominate it. I'm not sure how that works but I suspect not having face details has something to do with it. We seem to home in on eyes before anything else and not having any to follow means the car gets all the attention, and so it should.

Not at present Brian. I might find something for the colder months

Thanks Tony. I guess placed either side of the car the figures `frame` the car drawing ones eyes to the car itself.
The figures are another ICM kit of Henry Ford, his works manager and an assembly line worker, the `Henry` figures features actually look like the man himself!



Same 2 figures on an R/C 1/25 Clyde Puffer, I just shortened Henrys over coat to jacket length and swapped the hats!



I also used some modified 1/32 ICM German Luftwaffe Pilots as crew on an R/C E-Boat I built a few years ago, they add great character!...

Beautiful models, with superb presentation.

I can see one or two of those ICM kits in my future.

Very nice work

[jsf55]

Wow, the detail s so much better on the desktop PC

[Brizey]

Very nice Steve, some neat detailing there, I`ve never been one for engine detail but yours looks good. I`ve never found anything that looks `scale` or realistic when it comes to plug leads fuel lines or electric cables etc, maybe I`m too fussy ...

[jsf55]

The last time i did some real nice stuff i used some old cat 4 cable, like telephone stuff but not stripey, what's your secret Steve?

That's I used back in the 80's, my Stepfather used to work for BT, so I got plenty of wire. But now, I go to Hiroboy.com, model-cars.co.uk or tedsmodelingmarketplace.

Recently finished this resto of an AMT `40 Ford Sedan Delivery that`s been sitting collecting dust for a few decades!.
Washed all the parts to get rid of the dust and polished the body, repainted the interior and motor etc. The hub caps and trim rings, grill, and bumpers needed re-chroming and it then went back together... another dust collector for the shelf ...

[jsf55]

Looks great Brian. Neat dropped window
