And top shelf centre place is a beautiful creation. Merry Christmas, Curtis.

Thank you, Curtis. I enjoy my few woodies, but I never realized just how many are out there. Great!

Nice photos Ben.
If you ever want to easily dust off your models before a shoot, a cosmetics brush comes in handy. They're not too expensive and are very soft. I use a large wide one for general dusting but I also have a narrow, small one for hard to reach places.

Thanks John....if i remember correctly, 4 of the 5 models pictured were taken out of their boxes for the first time and photographed a mere minute after I unboxed them, so they had box and Styrofoam dust on them.
I was pressed for time that day, but wanted to get the pics uploaded before I went to dinner.
I have since wiped them down with the fantastic soft cloth that (I believe) came with one of my Brooklin models.
Maybe somebody here can varify if Brooklin supplies those little cloths with their models.
I forget exactly where I got them.

Hi Bob, it's a '49 which I built five years ago from the Brooklin DeSoto wagon and the Matrix '49
Town and Country. I painted it '49 Chrysler Ocean Blue.

Brooklin has supplied a brown dust cloth with some of their new packageing but a makeup brush is best, won't catch an antenna and gets into the cracks and crevices.

Always nice to see other people collecting these models of these rolling pieces of automotive art. Beautiful blend of man made steel and natural materials.

Station Wagons
Curtis, that is a real professional build of the 1949 Chrysler wagon. Did the front clip come from a Matrix, or a Neo 1949 Chrysler. I have a New Yorker sedan by Neo.
I foolishly sold my 1942 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon about 20 years ago. I'll post some photos of it in the future, because they are with a film type camera and have to be scanned. You would appreciate this car.

Hi, Ray. Thanks for the compliment. The Matrix Town and Country supplied the bumpers, grill, rocker trim, dash and other things I can't think of right now. The front clip was still from the '49 Brooklin DeSoto.
