Personally, the white tires are more proper for the era of the car, the black tires I see these old timers running are primarily modern aftermarket additions for safety and convenience. Very seldom do any antique car owners run the whites but I think they're catching on with some folks now.
The early 1900’s cars had a lot more finesse than any other era of automobiles. It was a different world then. You did an excellent job building this one. I really like how you added the additional details. I watched Mark’s video the day he released it, but I think your approximation of polished brass is pretty good too. There is more than one way to skin a rabbit, and you just have to find the way that works best for you. I wasn’t expecting a refill of Molotov chrome would be a lifetime supply or anything close. Given what you said, I may add a bottle to my shopping list. Thanks for sharing.
Well, you did such a nice job on this model that when I saw the picture, I thought it was a real car. When your video started to play,I was shocked to find that it’s a model. Keep up the great work.
That brass came out pretty nice and the black works really well on it too. You're building up quite a collection of these 100+ year old cars and it's an interesting diversion.
I saw that video a few days ago too. Hobbydude has inspired me to experiment with the brass look too. The Molotow does well brush painted. And from a video by Barbatos Rex, it looks good applied with an air brush as well.
Thank You for sharing your journeys with modeling and your families trips etc. This model is another home run . I still say maybe try polished brass paints from Valejo or Tamiya that military modelers use for brass on bullets and shells with a coat of clear gloss over top . Military model paints are very precise with colors , even flesh tones for figures , anyways keep recording the journey for us to see . Again Thank You very much !
Very nice!!! I like your thought process when it came to building this one and considering how the roads back then were dirt and how you added the scuffs and dry brush detail to make the car look a little used, good thinking for sure. That was also a great idea to dirty up the tires a bit with actual dirt. I built a Grave Digger model once and wanted the tires to looks used and that is exactly what I did. I went outside and rubbed dirt all over them to make them look used. That front end camber is spot on as well. That car looks fantastic!!! 👍👍👍
Are you going to be getting the driver and his lady figures from ICM to put in/on it? Just an aside all the pix that I looked at of the Ford speedster had red lenses in the tail light.
That came out great. I think the black suits it much better than the green. I agree the dirty tires look much better than the stark white of the clean tires.
Maybe build a small backdrop like a white sheet behind the model, build a frame, and drape a background, then the camera has only one thing to focus on. Works for me. A website display stage.
Looks great. I have a comment on molotov. I don't like it I threw away an almost full tube . The one I had was pretty good when I first used it. But after a few months when I we t back go it it didn't look as good as Testors silver even on small parts. It obviously likes you because it looks great on your car. I think it's one of your best.
By 1913 Ford was selling thousands of model Ts to all sorts of people. It was the first car for the common man and Ford priced them to be so . At the time the Dodge Brothers were his engine and drive train suppliers. They were also partners in Ford. Ford kept lowering prices instead of paying dividends which prompted a suit by the Dodges.The settlement I think in1917 helped finance the Dodge Corp. The history of Ford is very interesting. Henry Ford 's first company was what became Cadillac. Taken over by other unhappy investors.
Yes, the black paint a better choice than the box art green. The brass you used looks in scale to me. Are you aware of a 2 figure set by ICM for this vehicle, they are in period dress and be a nice compliment. I suggest your wife with the steady hands take that paint job on.............cheers
The old cars just had so much personality.
Looks great! The brass and the white tires really pop against the black body. Awesome job Matt!
Thanks

Looks Great Matthew!
Matt I know I've asked this before but can you please show us how you do your woodgrain?
I'll try to remember George, but you know me! Lol

Great build! Black was a good choice! Life would be so boring if we all had the same 'likes'.
👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Looks great! Love the dirt on the tires trick!
Thanks 👍
Wow Matthew! Absolutely outstanding detail! One of my favorites! Those earlier cars just had so much personality and beauty to them!
Couldn't agree more!

Looks really great. I love that era too, but my favorite is the '20's and '30's. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool

Thanks Michael! I have a video coming very soon with the gifts you sent me. Thank you!

Nice build 😅
Thanks 😅

At the start of Ford’s history, you could get the car in any color you wanted. As long as it was black.
So you are saying my Gender Studies degree is useless? Who is going to pay my loans off then?
Looks great Matthew 👍
Thanks 👍
