Made of timber. Mostly MDF but with other timbers.

This is a Woody I am presently doing. It will have a matching woody trailer behind it.

Those are Kool. I like the hemi and really diggin those E&J type 20's. I cast those in 1/8th and 1/12th scale. https://public.fotki.com/BIG-JIM/ite...hop-truck.html

I used to build a lot of models when I was young, before I started working. (Before I got my driving permit) I haven't finished a model since. The last model I started was a 1968 Corvette that I pro streeted and primered. I did this when I was on a training trip for work and was stuck in a hotel and had nothing else to do. Maybe I should finish it. The real car is painted now.

My favorite ones I had were my 1966 or 67 cobras. I had a 1/8 scale cobra and 63 Corvette. Now the 1/8 kits are so expensive, I would just rather buy a real hot rod part than the model. When my kids are a few years older, I'll probably get back into it. I think they'll enjoy it.
