Toys for Big Boys - 1936 Ford Roadster
Here is my latest. It is a 1936 Ford Roadster. Overall length is approx. 12".
I used oak, walnut and maple.

Thanks for the kind words.
The plans are from Toys and Joys, but I make my wheels instead of buying them.
I would guess I have 45-50 hours total in it.
The only other picture I have is a close up of the radiator grill which I made different from the plans. The plans show a one piece grill, but I made the multi-layer to show better detail.

Great work BigDBigD. Love it. And as already mentioned, the Oak, Walnut and Maple work really well together. Well done.
I've been toying with the idea of buying the Gatto plans for the 1930 Model A Roadster. (I checked out the Toys and Joys 1929 Ford Roadster, but it doesn't look as good as the Gatto one, which appears to be far more detailed.)
You've given me the incentive. I cant wait now. I'll order them in the morning.... Steve
