Thanks I love taking outdoor shots 

Wow, TrainsRMe, what a great looking assemblage! (sp?). The top two rows in particular - great eras, great designs.

Tomlinson, I think your assemblage of letters in "assemblage" is perfect.   Thanks for the kind comments.  Here are some more oldies.

Here are some 1/43 stock cars.  Included are two from Lionel's racing flatcar, Pontiacs, Fords and a Chrysler that came from a  flea market at a racing show, and four that I made of foil, for my layout's junkyard scene.

Ah the old foil trick I forgot about that they look good thanks for sharing

Terrific creativity and modeling --- out of foil!!!

I try to work in a drive-in theater (digital photo frame w/vintage family photos) with some cars into my Christmas layout each year.  Also, a lane or two of traffic here and there complements the Christmas scenery.  I favor muscle cars of the late '60s and robust passenger cars of the '40s-'50s.  

That's a real nice-looking Christmas layout, Garrett76.   It displays the season's spirit very well.

I just want to thank all of you posting this week! Let’s keep it going thanks again. 

Lee Drennen's pretty Revell KW, lit me up to work on a Revell White 3000.  I had bought it already built and the cab was skewed with non aligning windshield posts. I took apart and reassembled,puttied the gaps and put glass in.  Even painted what I think may be a White Gold Comet gasser gold.  Shown fresh out of the garage, the trailer is a surplus Corgi that at least comparing tire sizes is the same scale or really really close.

Thank you for the  complement That is a beautiful little rig. The engine was a White mustang gas burner. I’m glad you post this truck it’s always was a favorite of mine. There’s some thing about this Revell kit I really like.

Here’s  one I’ve been working on. I’m putting in a 220 Cummins out of the Corgi Ford H and added Don Mills wheels and added twin fuel tanks from the Honest John and stretched the frame thought you would like to see it along with the others. 

Different details makes a world of difference.  Were those Don Mills Wheels on the Kenworth?   You ever put glass in, the White windshield I put is is "OK" but nor great, the curvature and lack of attachment area makes for a real issue.

The color looks to b NYC?  A Flexivan tractor?

1-A Dodge pickup picking up a load.  I painted the truck and swapped wheels.

2-Exiting a Mini long enough to check the statue.

3-ATSF yard.  All I did to this truck was to add the ATSF decal.

4-I don't think the frat boys are there to pick up worms.  The red pickup and the yellow roadster were kits.

The wheels on the KW were don mills. Sometimes I put glass in going to try it. The color is a old rustolem  festive green I painted this truck back in 1995 and have tried to find this paint but it’s discontinued. It matches PC green pretty close.

I like those hot rods did you build them? 

Off loading TOFC trailers.

1-'32 Ford coupe.  I painted the fenders black, and the upholstery and wheels grey.  The wheels had been chrome.

Model T Ford sedan.

Cord convertible.

2-Split-window VW.

A much later sedan.  The mag-style wheels provided by Mattel were replaced with more appropriate ones.

Karmann-Ghia convertible.

TrainsRMe,  I like your custom painting on the Ford sedan and really like the Karmann-Ghia model. The later (as a hardtop with luggage rack) is on my 1:1 wish list (not gonna happen) and my 1:43 wish list (more likely).

Nicely posed photos, too!
