The Ford Barn

I was wondering how many out there have built or bought a scale model of their car,or collect old Ford models?? I was just wondering! I have collected and built model cars all my life! wondering how many others do as well. I took these pictures at the model car contest at the mid America nationals last weekend. Who ever built this 1/18 scale 32' did a great job! Amazing detail

Check out this "Model Car Display" by V8 Bob. Outstanding workmanship.
It's a Full Size 1940 coupe Model Car along with all the other model cars shown on the table.

Wow, that v8bob link is amazing. I must get around to building my coupe from the AMT 1/25 kit, I've had it for years.

I am in the process of building one form a kit my daughter gave me for christmas. Of course the kit ocmes with a flathead eight and chrome wheels, but it will be th esame otherwise. Having a 32 has advantages at least they make a kit...LOL

I built my Dad a model of the 5 window about 16 years ago, while the real car was still locked away in dusty slumber in the barn. Last year we put blackwalls on it to match the model.

That's very cool the Bob thing.

Not very exact... but... repainted a "Highway 61" die cast to look like my car...

That's really cool Zach.

The full size kit is amazing.

Well never had a car that I wanted a model of until I built the Ute. Planned on taking the car to the World of Wheels show locally and wanted it as part of the display. I didnt make the show and got the model about 95% good enough. Only one pic of the model, for some reason I cannot find the others.
