  1. I agree with the comments to leave it all together... but I agree that changing the title to mention the different cars, and the corresponding page numbers for each car would be welcome. This would be especially useful to new readers who would have no idea, based on the title, that the post also contains fabulous documentation of an Olds Tornado, an Avanti, and the current Cadillac. Folks that may not have much interest in a Continental MkII, but would love any of the other cars would never know they're contianed in the thread.
  2. Roger, Watching your progress is an absolute joy, especially since you continue to use traditional modeling methods which can only be performed by true craftsman. If you were making your model using a 3D printer there would be little joy watching your progress, and the end result, which might look superior to the uninitiated, would be devoid of the craftsmanship that make your models works of art. Thank you for continuing to share your work... it is truly inspirational!
  3. Interesting vehicle shown this weekend at the Hershey AACA meet:
  4. So sorry to hear and hope you're up and around soon. For what its worth, you are not the first person who has described such symptoms shortly after the 2nd dose of vaccine. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you'll be back to Daphne soon.
  5. Roger, I've been following your model from the beginning, I ran out of superlative compliments for your work years ago... and now watch for every update. Although entirely unrelated, I came across a news article on a Greek modeling puzzle from over 2000 years ago you may find intriguing. If you find it at all interesting, be sure to click the link in the first paragraph to the 11 minute video which explains the still unknown methods the ancient Greeks used to make miniature metal gears. Perhaps you will have your own idea on how they built the instrument using crude tools. Feel free to delete this post after your review as it has no relevance to your model... other than another example of incredible craftsmanship from the ages. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/03/scientists-solve-another-piece-of-the-puzzling-antikythera-mechanism/
  6. What you'll have is something that is the "perfect" outcome of all your efforts! What most of us wouldn't give to purchase back the most memorable car we ever owned... and have the pleasure of driving it again. You're doing great on your grand old car and can't wait to see a pic of you driving it!
  7. Happy to hear you have a surgery date on the calendar. As much as I, and everyone else, is looking forward to progress updates ... Daphne can wait a little longer Good Luck!
  8. I'm another one of the guys that have been with you since the first post... you made 9 years goes by in a flash because each post was more amazing than the last. Thanks for educating and wowing all of us with your talents, skill, patience, and humbleness... I've enjoyed every second of it! I'm so looking forward to watching you bring some of your "older" models up to date! ~ Tom
