You better believe it, VK... I was so happy, I even blew off most of my real work to play with the cars. Might be the only progress for a while, too. I was speaking to our local library today about doing an architectural model of their upcoming remodel. I could use the extra money, as I have my anniversary coming up this month...

Hi, Folks,

Quick update, this evening. I'm back to work on this project, and have made some definite progress.

I sped things up a bit by not duplicating the effort of building a complete model to test build each body-style. Instead, I just cut the back-ends off of each and build just the parts I was unsure of. A few days tweaking, and I'm back on track.

ALL of the different car body-styles are complete, I even added ANOTHER new one, an all-steel-bodied wagon, which was the last of the cars. Yesterday, I started on the pick-up truck, and when it is finished and test built, I can finish off the rest of the truck line, and stick a fork in this marathon.

I'm hoping I'll have time tomorrow to put together some side-view/front-view pics of all the different body-styles, so you can all get an idea of what they'll look like, including the variants, like police car, staff car, etc.

TTFN,

Paul

Here's the last one with the rest of the cars and the pickup truck.

So far, 51 versions are complete, still working on some of the race versions, police cars, etc, which will bring the final tally to 93 models, unless inspiration strikes again and I hit 100...
