    Kurt Johnson got a reaction from popeye the sailor in 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Runabout (boattail) By Egilman- Monogram- 1/24th Scale- FINISHED!!   
    I guess we haven’t come that far. Approx 60 percent of turning accidents with another vehicle or a pedestrian in the US  is when making a left hand turn. The version is blocked by post at the corner of the winshield.  I could see if the top was down and your passenger had long flowing hair,  the offset seat would keep their hair out of your face. You wouldn’t hear them screaming  as much when you really cut it close either!

    Supposedly the offset seats gave the driver more elbow room. I guess for whipping around those wicked corners. No drifting!

    I just purchased from EBay a Norris drafting set, just because. I love stuff like this. What’s the best thing to clean them up with. Isopropyl and a q-tip.? I had a nice set back high school, but that was before dirt came into existence. All we had were rocks then. It’s actually in great shape, just the nooks and crannies need cleaning.

    I always thought the stream lined locomotives like the New York Centals Hudsons where really cool looking too.

    I was thinking of next spring. Let’s have both a Spring Planting and Autumn harvest festival. I’ll bring some cheese.

    Keep it coming. It is definitely a treat. I have this idea in my mind of how it will look when complete. I can imagine it’s first spring festival!
     
    With safe distancing of course!

    Ekis,
     
    Without any posts in the last several days I was afraid the village was placed on lockdown!
    It seems every structure you turn to I enjoy more than the last. It must have been a challenge  making the ceiling of the archway. A bit of a tight working space, but it looks perfect.
