51' custom customline coupe

 A friend had one years ago and asked and it inspired me to design. 

I researched and found a car called "golden showers" http://slamdmag.com/2018/03/golden-showers-1951-ford-shoebox/

so it assisted me greatly viewing photos and getting some ideas.

It was my first design with internal hinges which i am very happy with .

Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic

One of my Cults followers Claude asked if I could model the Bugatti.

I have collected diecast Bugatti models and completed several Plastic Bugatti models earlier in my life.  I still have them in 2018 I was thrilled when my uncle visited the  and posted a few photos.

So it was easy to accept the offer to model the Atlantic. Then it was hard ...

Lincoln Zephyr 37 Project

 Lincoln Zephyr 1937 project 

Following Scoty Chops i became aware of the Lincoln Zephyr Car. I followed up some research and found Ford brought Lincoln out and Edsel conceived the idea and the car was designed by Eugene Turenne Gregorie.  Who worked at  Briggs Manufacturing Company

Its great researching who did what and how in  the early automotive industry-crosses paths with each other .

Modelling from pictures and refining shapes until it looks right 

3d printed model This one had no mechanical joining only glued , i dropped  this model in semi dry undercoat and was not happy. 

then went back to the drawing board to include better connectors such as bolts or screws.  

Lights are on the next version , its a long process
