Lincoln Town Car
Hi everyone
We haven't posted for a while. In fact, I've been very lazy about even going onto the forum, because I've had so many other tasks on my plate, learning to use artists' acrylics and the pyrography pen.
David has been busy with a ton of jobs I've given him in the house, building furniture, painting, so there was precious little time to play in his shed.
This car has been finished for a while. It is a Joys and Toys plan, the same size as the Cadillac I posted a while ago ( 450mm long x 140mm wide ) It is an early 1930s Lincoln Town Car.
It is made from merbau and oregon. The mudguards developed a rather peculiar black stripe which was in the wood and showed up when David sanded the finish, so they had to become black.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
LiliB

The 1930 Lincoln surely was a great vehicle in its time. Quite a smart looking car. Your hubby must be very pleased with his results.

Very nice job... pretty obvious that is where where Henry Ford got the idea for the Model "A" from.

Hi everyone
Thanks for the comments. It's always nice to get appreciative comments.
I love the Lincolns, they're stylish and little wonder that Al Capone drove one!!
Cheers

Is this a quote from the same LilliB?
Cant be ,or this thread would have been posted in the scrollsaw forum!
Anyhow were are the WIP shots.we want to learn how others tackle their projects as well as seeing them finished
Bigger cropped pics would be a better go as well.They show a lot more detailBack To Car Building & All The Sawdust.

Hi Aussie
It's obvious from your comments that you're not a tradie. A tradie can tell how a thing is built by looking at it.
Most of us never seriously stick to plans anyway. They're only there to give us ideas or a guide.
As for the photos, perhaps I need to go on a summer school to learn correct photographic techniques. Perhaps you think I bought the b____ thing on EBay.
Let's face it, you're getting old, and rather churlish in your old age.
Let the forum see your stuff as work in progress. Haven't seen much from YOU in quite a while.
Dave - Carmaker and Designer - no plans needed!!!

Aussie
I am sorry if I opened old wounds with my comments on models and the scroll sawing forum. I wasn't to know that there had been War and Peace written on the subject. I don't read everything on the forum.
As to it being in the Toy Makers Forum, I really had no choice. If they had given us a forum just for models, scale and otherwise, the whole subject would not have come up.
Anyhow, precious little on Dave's models are built on the scroll saw these days. He prefers the Band Saw. So it wouldn't be scroll saw work anyway.
As far as WIP goes, since when is it mandatory to provide them? It's only a very few things that are presented as WIP.
I don't have the time to photograph David's work at every step, and he certainly wouldn't bother. I have always done my photos at the recommended 640x480 web resolution. Can't help it if you need stronger glasses!!!!
David is no great fan of cameras or computers. He loves his craft, but doesn't have much time to spend on it.With working full time, maintaining a big home and garden, and building me a myriad of specialist furniture and household items.
I often don't see the job until it's ready to assemble, or it's fully assembled, ready for me to finish with poly.
Would have been nice to hear some constructive comments from you.
Cheers
LiliB

Hi Aussie
Actually the comments you refer to are from two different people. Dave didn't log out, so my reply is on his name.
As to the photos, yes they are ordinary. Can only blame the new camera that I'm not really familiar with.
Let's just keep it nice.
My comments were tongue in cheek (hence the smilie at the end) David's however, reflected a little annoyance. He thought you weren't being very fair.
Neither Dave nor I spend much time on the computer. I spent the last eleven years working a computer all day long in my job, and Dave uses one all day long, so we don't really find the computer much of a relaxation tool.
So when are we seeing a new piece from you?
Cheers for now
LiliB
