    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?

    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...

    2011 BMW M3

    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:

    55 Chevy Belair

    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.
