The forward cockpit cover is just set onto the model for the photo - it won’t be attached permanently until after the infill is done

Welcome back Heywoood/Auger.

Your DC-3 looks fantastic!

The '55 Chevy is Top Notch.

The WIP dollhouse looks great.

work work work...

I've got a 1/16 scale AMT Ford Thunderbird on the table - the littlest boy wanted Poppop to make him a Green car - so that's what I'm doing.

only the interior and the motor have been finished and painted - the body is next - then assembly. She'll have the same lighting as the 55 Chevy

The Thunderbird looks great.You have a very steady hand to
be able to paint all the very small details.

The radial engine on your DC-3 looks very realistic.

Hi Scott - yes I was very happy to discover 3D printed radials in 1/32 scale - and they fit perfectly into the DC-3 cowlings provided with the Guillow's kit.
I plan to build another one as a C-47 from D-Day at some point and will absolutely use Resin2Detail engines on that project
