Nick, My memory does not always serve me well. I went to Burbank House of Hobbies today, and the leaves in question most likely are from " JJT & Partners". The leaves come packaged as: Medium leaves # Fl_1002, and Course leaves # FL_1003. The package is simply titled, "Falling Leaves. They do carry them, but I understand they have trouble ordering them. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Jerry

Utterly fantastic work Jerry. I remember seeing these in a movie and have looked them up. Just a terrific job of reproducing them. Love the Sylvan truck.

Really an incredible model, Jerry! And of something certainly reallly difficult to reproduce. How you're able to do this really amaze me. Congratulations!

A most interesting and impressive model, both in the tower views and the detail views. Most of all I like the modeling of the colored tiles and textures. I did not know of these towers, so I read the Wikipedia entry. Thankyou for the portrayal an introduction to this folk art.

Compared to the photo on Peter Newgard's website, it looks like Jerry has added a lot of detail --- including the window bars and rear porch railing. Nice work. And you say it is not finished yet? I like the photo looking into the open door.

It really is not fair to take closeup photos of such little models and blow them up on the computer screen. Jerry was shocked to see all the little oops's on the model. Well I said it was still being built. Here are some more shots. Two are a Sylvan model done hotrod style and the others are a second bus of Peter Newgard's that Jerry is doing. quote] that is a sweet rod with a GRRReat paint job truly appreaciated by the rear view photo. The camera can be a tough critic, bringing to light flaws not noticed by the unaided eye.

Yes that realy can be very shocking. I had it a few weeks ago myself. But then I was thinking that it also can be a great help when you learn of it where you have to take care for next time. I had the windows mount inside the model, for instance, while I better should mount it in the windshield, so the wipers should come to it's right. Now they were drowned in the space. And, of course the paint-job. It's always tricky to put that on a photo... It's not always so easy to try that again and sometimes impossible with all the extra parts we add to our models.

Yes, the camera doesn't lie. I try to take photos of work in progress to catch mistakes not seen by the naked eye. I am putting the finishing touches on that very same Sylvan 35 Pontiac as a rod at this very moment. Hopefully it will look as good as Jerry's.

Nice work, again!
And… euh… a new early 50's Packard? A 1959 Buick Station-wagon? Nice new additions to Cutter's line, for sure! I need them of course…
