Very cool indeed! Box art builds rarely thrill me, but this one is great. I bought the kit when it first came out, turned on by the white (?) racer version on the side panel. Yours,to me, is better!

That's really nice. The B/W picture would fool anyone to believe it was built in the early 60's !

Straight up, no b.s. rendition that hits it straight out of the park. The keys to how striking this turns out to be are the bright, impeccably sprayed, red paint, the crisp detailing, and the lowered rear stance - this last being unavailable out-of-the box but rendered in the box art nonetheless. In the box art build style your unmatched ability to faithfully interpret the always distorted and idealized box illustrations and render them in scale and 3 dimensions is unsurpassed. I'll always remember your metallic violet AMT 36 Ford 3-window full custom box art build for this very reason, and I believe your Shoebox, for all its simplicity, may be its equal. Bravo!

I'm always in awe of anyone who can get that beautiful of a finish with enamel. The build is super clean as well.

Just for nostalgia's sake here's the '36 you mentioned. These were the ones that got me hooked on this style of build.  |

Hi Ron,
Very nice build on your 49. I love box art builds, not very easy to do.
The paint is nice, but that B&W photo is very cool.
Your 36s are a couple of the best I've seen.
I'm getting a rare 36 Ford box, delivered today, and will post it in the box art section.
I think you will like it and the others I plan to post in the next day. I will have some questions for you, about them.
Keep up the good work
Jim

I know these type of builds appear simplistic to some in the hobby but you are correct in that they are NOT easy to build up and make look like the art. There is a lot more to the overall build,finish and presentation than just slamming together the parts from the box. |
