HELLER 1/8 CITROEN TRACTION AVANT

Thanks, at least someone on here liked the final result 

this is so cool! Love the detail.

Hi all no pictures tonight but, after a concerted effort today I can confidently say this will be finished tomorrow, its been a long hard slog but on the final stretch today just a bit of tidying up required tomorrow.

This work is deserving of the attention it's getting. You're doin' nuthin but good here.

Hi all yet another update

I have to be honest, looking at the pics I wasnt sure if some of what Im seeing is the model or the real thing.  Truly impressive!

Hi all did a bit more on the background, this will be HUGE when finished

A small update, and a question would I get away with these as Sten Guns.

Hi all. Finished the weathering on the side windows (I must say I'm quite pleased with it)also did the ammo box and made a start on the backdrop.

This is truly impressive!!                gk

Tonight's update.

Dang man!!! You aint messin' 'round with this one are ya? Wow!!! Great detail and weathering work!

Hi all yet another update, YAWN, you must be getting bored I know I am

possible background may change a bit don't know till I start this is drawn to 1/8 scale measuring our doors and the hight of our sills.

Hi all I've pretty much had it with car kits, Ive been told I'm ruining a classic kit, feeling pretty deflated now, I thought this was some of the best work I had done. will stick to ships in the future.

Hi all well I got a couple of hours in, here are my efforts

Hi all well I got £100 off my boss for xmas so ordered some gold leaf for the infamous ship a 1/16 revell VW Karmenn Ghia and managed to find German 1/8 machine gun for this dio 29.99 (bit pricey and it's not even a kit) I figure the effort I've put into this and the cost of the kit it will be worth it (yes it's a German machine gun but I figure they could have stolen it)

Hi Karl firstly let me thank you and everyone else for taking the time to look at this. The black and white pics I thought were more in keeping with the time period (I was thinking of adding quite a few to the finished dio) I post lots of pics as I'm basically as bad a photography as I am at modeling (some people are very kind with their comments and praises) so I take lots of pics in the hopes I will get a good one.

 

Save the B+W ones for the finish. That will be a nice alternative view when it's finished. Not really necessary in the build stage though.

You're doing a wonderful job. No critique is adequate or necessary. The painting and weathering looks great, honestly!

THe only thing I would suggest is, for the sake of making it easier on yourself and whatever photo storage site you're using to pick one or two clear, well-lit vcolor photos which show what you're trying to show and post them instead of the half-dozen shots of basically the same thing over and over. It's not necessary and clutters up your postings, in my opinion. Why are you posting photos in B+W?
