A trio of resin models has just arrived; one from Neo, two from Matrix
First the Neo, a 1933 Stutz DV32 Monte Carlo Sedan by Weymann. I do like this one, but I will have to resist it as it does not come within my collecting remit.

This next one will find its way into my collection 1937 Rolls Royce Phantom III Aero Coup? de Foudre. A typical exercise in 1930s fanciful design. Colour is described as blue purple.

Finally, a more standard design, although an unusual colour scheme: metallic bronze over maroon This Park Ward Bentley S1 Continental was once owned by Jack Warner. Now was that Jack Warner of Warner Bros., or was it Jack Warner of Dixon of Dock Green, a British TV police series from the 1950s I wonder.

Well that's it folks. The next posting is likely to be the forthcoming De Soto from Brooklin. Will it be out before Christmas? I think the jury is still out on that one, but let's hope so.

The Stutz looks familiar Mike (PIC)

One I made earlier together with a dual cowl!

The Stutz in maroon with red wheels would have been a good one too.
Here's one Karl, Randy, and I have seen.

That looks good John.
I presume the donor model was the ?33 BRK.

I do have a liking for maroon and black combo Harvey, and the red wheels just sets it off perfectly. Maybe Matrix will consider that colour scheme later.

I used Bearcats for both Mike - plus other bits which I can't remember!...
chassis were lengthened as appropriate.

I thought the sedan was the Matrix model from the photo......
a credit to your model making skills John

Thanks Mike! It would seem Matrix and I used the same real car for inspiration!
