1956 Studebaker.

This is my homemade 1956 Studebaker President Classic. I designed it using an old sales brochure as reference. My design methods are strictly "old school": that means drafting tools, not computers.

Scale is 1/10th. The model is about 21 inches long.

I Like! Nothing wrong with old school either. Your build has a charm all it's own, and you detail the engine compartment, interior and the grill was nice. Lets see another. Good work.

Hey Mark, when you do another one, post a build thread so everyone can see this art take shape. I really liked the hood ornament, the car is just neat. Has a Art Deco look. I wonder what Golden Bear would think of it, he is a designer too of the highest order.

I really like this. Just think, your probably the only person in the whole world with a paper model of this car, and you made it your self!

All,

Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments. To see how my cars go together, please see this build thread in Zealot, for which I have provided this link:

More Photos of 1979 Dodge Magnum WIP, 2-9-08 - Zealot Hobby Forum

It is for a model of a 1979 Dodge Magnum sport coupe. It is a good illustration of my construction and design methods.
