Two recent Brooklin reworks...one by John White and the other by John Roberts...
Recently I received from Dominion Models the '57 Oldsmobile Holiday sedan done by John White in Banf Blue/White with detailed interior. It's a beauty. Hockey stick side trim has a blue stripe making that strip appear to be in the right proportion, a sharp looking car. Then today the B.C #13 '36 Buick Special refinished in Moderne Gray Poly done by John Roberts arrived and what a beauty it is as well, just like my dad's that he had until '53. He traded it when I was 8 yet I still remember it and this model brings back such great memories.
These guys who do such great reworks of Brooklin models expand the range of what's available from our past. If you're not wild about a standard color selection, these reworks are the answer. These are beauties and very well done.

Dillon, I wish I could. My digital camera stopped functioning when we were on Martha's Vineyard and I don't know how to post pictures on the Forum yet, but when I get a new camera I'll find out how it's done. Pictures are much better than words.

That would be great, David. Thanks.
