Is this the MG that you're referring to? Also, are the older British cars as notoriously unreliable as they are reputed to be?

Are you keeping her factory stock, or customizing her?

I tried to restore a car (unsuccessfully) years ago. Believe me, the model will take less time. :)

A masterpiece of skill and workmanship!

"This is interesting. The white strips on fenders and engine hood, as well as the headlights covers, were imposed during war time. I can imagine the headlight covers was intended to be less visible from aicraft at night, but I cannot figure the reason for painting white all car edges... " A...

That is tedious and demanding work. You have great patience and skill.:Bravo:

THE DC: When you build Brandy, we want to see her!:)

I know the '57 Chevy 2 door hardtop has been overdone as a subject, but here is one made of cardboard and colored paper (about 1/24 scale). A friend commissioned me to build it for her stepdad. The pictures you see are scanned from photos of the model. Sorry the quality isn't better.

Final scans. I noticed that on the detail sheet above, I forgot to draw the horizontal lines on the grille. Here it is again, along with the patterns for the "blade" style bumpers, and the front splash pan. The edges of the front bumper extend about 1/16 inch beyond each side of the splash...

I add my condolences to all these, John. To carry the burden she carried, and to do it so remarkably well, means that your Mother was truly an exceptional person. Take heart, my friend. She waits for you on the other side.

Scans of the strip parts. I just realized that I forgot to map out the bumpers and front splash pan, so those are next.

Here are the first scans of the Valiant plans.

I hate to bump my own thread by saying thank you, but the encouragement I'm getting from all of you is appreciated.

Thank you, Revell-Fan, that's high praise! The model is about eight and a half inches long, and about three and a half inches wide.

Well, no, it's not a kit. It's scratch built. I even drew the plans and patterns.

Zathros, forgive me for not applying your idea to the tires, but I was too eager to finish the model. The tires were built with the strip-and-panel construction method applied to the cardboard discs and strips shown earlier. Black paper strips formed the treads with tread strips drawn in ink...

Hello THE DC, I haven't forgotten about the white copies of the plans. Have to map out the strip parts. (Been busy with some other stuff lately.) Thanks for your patience.

I was able to upload the photos directly from the camera into the computer after all, just had to figure out what item to click. You know the way it is, old dogs, new tricks. The bumpers and splash pan are attached. The wheel discs and strips are shown. Axle holes were made with a 1/8 inch...

Took more photos, but can't upload them. A notice appears saying the mfc100u.dll can't be found. Followed the tutorials for reinstalling it, such as the command prompt scan and fix; and the Safe Start process, but nothing works.

Did you fix the trans and keep it?
