    Done. Not perfect, but better than my first rendition of the Alvis TD21. I looked at internet photos of 1960 Alvis TD21s to see if any had disc wheels and hubcaps instead of wire wheels, and some did, so I went with disc wheels and hubcaps, not just to avoid drawing spokes on wire wheels, but...

    Details are on the body and the body components are glued together.

    Thank you all for the advice, however I made changes to the windows before coming to the forum and reading your suggestions. I generally use light gray paper for the windows on my cars, so I went back to that. Using clear plastic for the windows would have involved doing some major cutting...

    Some of the old plastic promos from the '50s had the foil windows. I once had a PMC '53 Nash that had those. I will take your suggestion and use plastic for the windows. I have notebook page protectors. It will take some reworking, but there's nothing on the calendar for tomorrow, so I can...

    The colored paper sheeting is on. The car is British, therefore it must be green. Ornamentation will be added later, then the sub-assemblies will be joined. I don't know how much work I'll complete tomorrow. It will be my 71st birthday. I might devour a rotisserie chicken and wash it down...

    1960 Alvis TD21

    A little progress on the new build of this 1960 Alvis TD21. Basic structures and dry test fit. I went back to being very basic on this build. Rudimentary shapes of the body components. On the previous build, I tried to represent the valleys between the hood and fenders (bonnet and wings)...

    So far, I have nothing fresh to add. Since April, I've been helping to look after an elderly relative, and it has really been taking a lot out of me. What makes it worse, is her own immediate family will barely do anything for her. Sorry for the rant.

    The work on the rework of this model is progressing decently. It will be built according to my typical method. There will be construction photos, but they will be posted along with the photos of the completed model, so that they will make more sense when you see how the components compose the...

    1960 Alvis TD21

    I've spent the last few hours looking at the reference photos and comparing them to my model. In profile, the length of each section in relation to every other section looks correct. The problem is the oversimplification of my design and construction methods, and the resulting abruptness and...

    My model's luggage area might be a bit too long, and the valleys between the luggage area and the rear quarters are much more subtle on the real care than on my model. This is the area I need to improve the most.

    1960 Alvis TD21

    Looking on the internet, I saw some photos of 1960 Alvis TD1s with disc wheels and hub caps, so I used those on the model, simply because I prefer them to wire wheels. I would not want wire wheels on any real car that I would have. Here is another of the reference photos I used. My model's...

    Here are the reference photos I was using. I see that my model needs larger wheel arches and wheels.

    Yes, I'll be experimenting with a different method.
