Ray that is a 37/38 STudebaker... On the web, and pricey... I have one in yellow, in the showroom above'....
Nice job on that one John'...
Very nice John and a great background scene thanks for posting
Thanks Lee, Ray and Ted! That's a matchbox version that was originally yellow. I found it at York with the oversized antenna broken and no box, so I didn't have to pay full freight. There is also one made by US Model. I modified mine slightly..eliminated the white walls, added license plates, got rid of the oversized antenna (more correctly the vestiges of it) and the spare tire clamp, and detail painted a few things.
BTW, you think the model is expensive, a real one was just sold by Sotheby's for $77,000.

Wow! Just amazing, John. The color and weathering are perfect. So are those "parts" in the back.

lee drennen posted:OGR CEO-PUBLISHER posted:You guys realize that those of you that include a train in the scene, have the chance to submit to the magazine for reader's rails....earn some extra bucks!
Thanks Alan for the invite maybe some here will take you up in it
Hope you all will. You all put together amazing scenes that make me think of stuff I see around me as well as old photographs. Definitely talk to Alan and get some great stuff in the magazine to inspire those that don't make it here online.

Worth the wait; thanks for your iPad perserverance :-). This particular Ford model is new to me. It's overall design and color scheme look great.
Your street scene angles and scenery look wonderfully realistic. Thanks for posting.

Ted, the distressed paint on the garage door looks great but what I'm really blown away by are the curtains in the windows. Can you tell us what you used to create that great effect? The Champion and Mopar colors and graphics go well together, too.
Thanks,
TRRR

Actually I cannot take credit for the curtains or the door. This structure is covered with paper I printed from "Evans Designs", Modeler Builder Software. With the software you design and print sheets of doors, windows, cornices, bricks, etc. It is a great program. I enhanced the structure with plenty of balsa wood. Here's a few more pics of the basic structure........ If you blow up the pics, you may be able to better see the paper. When I first started scratch building, The Evans software was instrumental , as I used it like you would with blue prints....

Ted,
I had (have) that software so long ago it was on a floppy disc. I wonder if Dave will update it so I can use it again? I really did like using it.
The garage looks great.

Yes Ray he has updated it and can send a link, and he has CD version too. Plus a sign make, and advertiser and brick sheet programs also... Dave and Shelly, real nice helpful folks too....Free shipping and very fair prices'...

You are quite welcome'... If you have a chance to take a look at the Model builder/Evans Designs web site, I think you will find it worth your while'....
I picked up these 4 beauties at a local train show this morning. All 1:43, the perspective in the pic makes the 3 to the right of the van look smaller. The "Nomad" is an Opel:
