Thanks Gordon, didn't know about the figures, they had a few of them loose in a box at the hobby store. I googled the name you used and saw they are for train layouts.
Preiser is a German Mfg. of many scales of figures. You can find the same figures as you have scaled down to 1:87 HO. The 1:24 scale works well for the garden scale rail hobbyists. Hot tooling the hair will add easy detail. I also have some 1:24 scale Prussians, (Frederick the Great era) and Adam and Eve sets, well detailed. Also check out Masterbox for 1:24 scale figure kits. ICM makes a 3 figure set of Henry Ford, a mechanic and friend. Cheers.
Thanks Chopper, just checked out your video on how you got started in modeling. It's a great hobby and I use it to bring back memories of cars I knew when I was a much younger. This build was for my brother's memory of his first car.
One of the best videos I've seen in a while, Steve.For everything ! The build,the car,the tribute to your brother,the music.....Great job,buddy.The car looks awesome !👍Anyone ever tell you,when you were little,that you looked like the Gerber baby ? Same hair curl.....
@@ModelCarMinion for sure, I believe at one time their may have been a resin kit or parts to convert, that was a while back though. I have an original 36 Fork kit going I need to jump back on! Love em!!
Beautiful Presentation All the Way Through Steve & Awesome Replica Work, I'm Doing a re-peat Replica/ Tribute Build of My Departed Oldest Brother's 55 Chevy Belair 2dr HT/ Hot Rod ,,they're NOT Easily Done But Can Be a Lot of Fun Doing & quite Satisfying When Accomplished. Till next time, God Bless All
Thanks Gary, there were some challenges with the kit but you are correct, it's nice when it's done. Enjoy your build and the memories that go with it. Will you be posting pics of the build?
Thanks Tom, it's a challenging kit. For myself I would have done it rusty, but it's for my brother. Didn't realize he was such a cool looking guy. lol.
Thanks John, should have thinned it a bit more, still a little texture in the finish. Takes practice and playing with the mix and air pressure, I find about 55% future 45% acrylic craft paint and 28-30 psi with the Paasche H airbrush works pretty well. The Aztec paints are airbrush ready and available at Michaels, they give a good idea of the thinness of the paint. I also use badger primer first.
Thanks John, They had them loose in a box at the local hobby shop, according to Gordon's comment below they are Preiser figures probably for train sets.
Replica builds have more of a story than "Out of the box". Like the color choices and nostalgia and a few Preiser figures. Great work, cheers Eh!

Thanks for the info.
Absolutely beautiful Steve! Love these original builds. No custom, all original!! Well done!
That's the way my brother wanted it, I would have preferred to do it rusty. lol.
Great video....loved the commercial!!! Fantastic build.
Thanks Rusty, the video was more fun than the build. lol.
I built this same amt kit over a decade ago. you brought back a lot of fond memories. thanks. The black and white promo vid is awesome too!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video, this kit has some issues but it looks good once it's done. I sub'ed your channel as well.

Came out looking terrific Steve! Nicely done throughout. Well done.

Thanks Charlie, don't remember hearing about the Gerber baby, does sound vaguely familiar though. lol. Still have that big wave in my hair.
Sweet build!!! Love the 35/36 Fords and great story line!! 🤙🏼
Thanks for the comment, they don't make a '35 ford coupe kit so the grill is not correct on this one, but it was fun to build and do the video.
@@ModelCarMinion for sure, I believe at one time their may have been a resin kit or parts to convert, that was a while back though. I have an original 36 Fork kit going I need to jump back on! Love em!!
Beautiful brother keep up the awesome work
Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed the video.
That is a great build Steve, glad I saw it in person, well done. The story behind the build makes it special. Cheers
Thanks Wayne, finally finished it and found some old baby pictures, my brother looked pretty cool back then. lol.
That was a great Build Steve.
Vaughn
Thanks Vaughn, it took me a longer time than I thought, the kit needed a lot of work.
Great build Steve. It truly looks the part from your included marketing video. I'm sure your brother wishes he could get in and take it for a spin.
Thanks Vince, I wish I could take it out also. lol. Long before my time. Also, I didn't realize how cool my brother looked back then. lol.
Excellent build and cool story
Thanks Kenny, I like to build memories at the same time.
Very clean work and precise details! And a very well put together video! Nicely done. I like how you actually got somebody into the rumble seat. :)
Thanks Mike, I just found those figures a the local hobby shop.

Nice build Steve
Thanks Gary, it had its challenges but now its done.
turned out great Steve nice job mate
Thanks Bill, lots of clean up on those AMT-MPC kits.
yes your right lots of clean up pity sometimes it can dishearten you a bit
I prefer the Monogram/Revell kits but they don't always make the car I'm looking for. Guess that extra cleanup is part of the hobby.
yeh I am the same I like the 32 ford kit I could build that every day of the week the coupe or the roadster
It turn out great I don`t know how you guys get good results with the folk art paint still playing with it

I find when I use the cup it goes on better I also use the paasche H
Model Car Minion Just FYI our Michael’s here near me are clearing out all the Aztec paint. I picked up the last 3 bottles at one store for like $2 ea.
I use the cup all the time too, not sure about using the bottles.
do you mix it first before you put it in the cup?
Looks awesome Steve, I love it. Ron
Thanks Ron, the kit needs a lot of work.
great video Steve. A nice tribute to your Brother too!
The Coupe really looks nice! Where did you get those figures?
Thanks John, They had them loose in a box at the local hobby shop, according to Gordon's comment below they are Preiser figures probably for train sets.
It's a 1936 Ford Coupe
