The build so far.

First, photos of the real thing.

It's finally done, after way too long. There are edges of cardboard showing, but this is the case on all my cardboard models, and it really hasn't bothered me. I just let the cardboard be cardboard

Thank you. Still more papering to be done.

I have been inexcusably lazy in my retirement, but enjoying it thoroughly. I am almost finished with a model of a 1999 Volga 310221, that I am building for a friend, who is an American living in Russia, and who has the real version of this car.

Definitely OK with me! :)

I will consider that a request, but first I have to do a Volga station wagon for a friend in Russia. In one of your posts on the Valiant thread, you mentioned fixing a gas tank on a '73. Were you referring to your MG?

A blue Alvis of that era was featured in the movie: "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy."

The completed model. My friend wanted me to use an adhesive vinyl covering instead of colored paper on this model. With colored paper, I can print the details from my master sheets directly onto it. The vinyl, however, will not accept print when going through my copier. I had to place the...

The construction photos:

Not the kind of car I normally do, because I prefer American cars that were made before 1975. However, this one was done for a friend. Thought I'd share it before mailing it to him. First, the actual car:

I agree. I'm glad you're restoring Brandy.
