PICs - Not done with the Lincoln photos yet...

I have just finished the file of the two of them together, and still have to process the individual shots. I also have another idea for some different Generational photos...just need warmer weather. I must be getting old, 'cause the cold sure bothers me more.
Anyway, here is another shot of just the front.
Thanks for looking.

And these shots show the wide/narrow grill bars someone referred to earlier.

Yea I did notice that the grille bars have that layering effect. FYI the 1:1 Mark IIIs grille.....

IS composed of 5 pieces. The grille shell, the grille bar consist of three separate pieces that inter-connect giving that subtle but noticable grille bar variations, and the Grille Medallion. True as someone pointed out the correct number of grille bars on this model is less then the 1:1 and that inbetween the thicker bars should be 4 slightly thinner bars instead of 3. BUT in scale it's not noticable and the grille looks very nice even to my picky eyes! To be honest that was one of my concerns that the grille bars would have variation to them and not all be equally spaced verticle bars of the same thickness. So I got what I wished for here!
