What an amazing end result. Another creation to be proud of and another model nobody else has. And the satisfaction that it's all your own work.

Stunning results! 
So nice, in fact, that it even made me consider what I originally thought about the 1:1...

Another exclusive, stunning model, Jean - that's your standard performance

Thanks a lot! I know that the audience is divided concerning this Loewy-Lincoln. I think that this was one of his good creations, all details are coherent, besides the rectangle grille, this seems to be no progress against the original waterfall-grille. Loewys later works for his own garage, the Cadillac Eldorado and the BMW 507, are simply horrible...DeadCanDanceR wrote:Stunning results!So nice, in fact, that it even made me consider what I originally thought about the 1:1...

Thank you! But believe me, I wouldn't dare to hide anything of my collection from your eyesRalf B. wrote:Another exclusive, stunning model, Jean - that's your standard performanceThat beautiful Chrysler reveals that you have private projects you don't share with us - shame on you

Thanks a lot! I always hope that I can give some suggestions for everyone to tune & enhance old model carsreeft1 wrote:Wonderful

Meanwhile you know me quite well, and so you can be sure that I'm already working with the next kit. And if you thought that the Lincoln already was a "folksy" car, hold tight for my next project, this will lead us down to the frugal base of motorizing...

Re: Lincoln Continental Raymond Loewy by Brooklin
The transformation of the Lincoln is amazing. Us mere mortals out here can only hope that one of the resin companies has a go at it. Have to slightly disagree on the BMW 507; it's not pretty but design wise it was quite forward looking. The Caddy is horrible!
The Chrysler is one of your older efforts but was still only 18 months or so ago.
It's nice but could really do with some of your trademark etching upgrades, especially the windscreen surrounds.

I must say you showed me that white metal may have future in scale world. For me it was a hopeless model making technique since the resin times, but your craftsmanship raises this to another level of model perfection!

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I intend! I do love detailed and finely made models, but - you already know - in my opinion a model car has to be made of metal, so I'm simply doing what a man has to doPaulius43 wrote:I must say you showed me that white metal may have future in scale world.

Meanwhile the Lincoln moved to its new home:

Gorgeous showcases, Jean!
I think I spot a WM Auburn and an upgraded Rio Cadillac - what's the car right of the blue Caddy?
Resembles a 1930s Packard Victoria, but I don't know any in 1/43...(except one in resin

Always curious to see your postings!

Re: Lincoln Continental Raymond Loewy by Brooklin
Thanks for the Packard pic, Jean. Outstanding example of a simple model upgraded to a collector's piece!

Meanwhile I have gathered seven different versions...
Sorry, I couldn't resist boasting

And now one last picture. Not the best result, but a first attempt in rear projection. I equipped my newly built photo-box with a rear wall of translucent plexiglass to project any pictures on it from behind. Of course I'll need spotlights from the front to illuminate the model car, but I think it's going in the desired direction:

I love the idea!
