Thanks Dave! I especially like the two Oldmsobile Phaetons too. The front of the car is beautifully done.
No, I don't use sprays. To get the colors that I really want to get, I use different brands of paint and brushes.

Fantastic models. How you made the backwindow in the Imperial? Are the wheels in the kit included? The choice of the colours are nice as well. Best regards nick

Thanks, Nick, for the kind words! I've finished your '64 Ford, I should show pictures here soon. For the window, it's my usual methode: thin clear plastic or "rhodoïde" cut as closed as I can to the right shape, then bent between fingers, and glued with Microscale Krystal Klear. For the wheels, there were resin wheels with the kits, but I have used some CMC's resin wheels instead.

Very nice, Sylvain. Have you thought about splitting up the posts and show maybe only one model per day or so? That way, the individual models will be more appreciated (especially over at mo87). The thing I like about Jerry's clear resin models and also Nick's kits very much is that the windows are not entirely clear but somewhat shady. Very realistic like that.

Thanks, Chester! I like the Ford too. The model seems a little too small for me, but I like it a lot. But I must say I like a lot the design of the 1960 Ford.

Your 48 Chrysler convertible with interior is especially beautiful I am wondering what sources you use for steering wheels? I cannot find the alloy forms bronze steering wheels I like to use. Your Photbucket albums are looking great with the redo. I like the larger views from the rear and it is nice to know the origins of the models. Dave

Thanks for the kind words, Dave!
Steering wheels are a problem. I've never been able to find the Alloy Forms, so I use what I can find here and there, and do some myself when I can't find any. So most of my cars have NO steering wheels, as I kept the ones I've got for convertibles.
The CMC convertibles are provided with resin steering wheels (see the two '41 Oldsmoblie Phaeton), the SMCC with Alloy Forms steering wheels (or very similar). For this '48 Chrysler though, I did use one coming from a cheap Busch Bel-Air Coupe that I bought once.
About my galleries, I've renewed a few more files since the last time: Buick, Cord, DeSoto, Dodge, Frazer, Graham, Hupmobile, Kaiser, Oldsmobile, Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Willys.

Sylvain, I like your Rambler. It looks like the sportier version of the car my grandparents had. Not to say all owners were elderly, but I did notice in my growing up years that the elderly liked early sixties Ramblers. Dave
