Thanks for the feedback Loren!

I should mention that on the '52 Cadillac, I had to dull down the grille details after the first few units were cast.  The mold started tearing pieces out after about the third casting, which is not good. 

Subsequent castings will have a grille that is not quite as fine, but is still acceptable.

I finally got around to painting one of the many resin models I bought from Brian...


Owertown Transit Equipment


One of Brian's Transit Buses

Any plans to make a Hudson?

Nice work Frank!

I do have a 49 Hudson Commodore that I could offer, if there was enough interest in it.  I also have a 46 Hudson coupe, but it is not up to the standards of the other vehicles.

Here's the Stude pickup...




I should have done a better job cleaning up the flash on that back window.

The Commodore would be great as far as I'm concerned. It could represent a bunch of years and models but definitely says HUDSON. The 46 has that more generic styling used by so many companies in the '40s.

I could use the Commodores here at Fiores in Owertown...

I have a few more vehicles available - first, a 1947/48 Kaiser 4 door sedan:


Also available again, after a lot of surgery, is a 1950 Studebaker Starlight Coupe.
This revised version is much wider in proportion to the length.
If you purchased one of the earlier versions, I will provide replacement ones for free:


To compliment the Starlight Coupe, I also have this 1951 Studebaker Commander 4 door:


Also available is this Pelican Style Street Cleaner.  The cab is hollow, but there is no interior.  The brushes are provided as separate castings and must be glued to the sides.


As before, these are $4.00 each, plus postage.

I have a limited quantity of a 1949-52 M38 Military Jeep:


Also, the street sweeper is temporarily unavailable while I make new molds for it.

These are really nice looking models and I have been dragging my feet on purchasing but would like to see a particular model done. A 1951 Pontiac Chieftain De Luxe Convertible!!! I see that you have not done any convertibles and this would a good one too start with. I might be asking to much here but it would be nice to be done both with top down and top up. Lot of fond memories growing up with one as a child and it would be a hoot to have one in N scale.
Also is the only way to obtain these through a PM?

Thanks, Jon

I plan on offering some 1951 Pontiacs in the future, but I don't think I could make a casting of a convertible with the top down.  Looking at that picture, you could probably take a 2 door sedan and carefully trim the roof off of it to make a convertible.

I don't have any web site to order from, so please just send me a PM if interested.

I think someone in Canada was offering a pre-painted, solid model of a 53 Chevrolet.  I'm not sure if they are still available.

I now offer a revised version of the Pelican Street Sweeper, still $4.00 each:



It consists of six pieces as shown below.  There are separate front wheels and a filler piece for the underside:



Here is the filler piece in position:
