Great tip on the model railroad fencing.  I'll have to get some at my LHS.  The whole model is fabulous.  Great job.

Thanks! I realized afterwards that there's a separate chat for osting tips/tricks. I'll have to remember it next time  Glad you found it helpful! I actually used a different brass railroad mesh on a previous build(see inside the grill in the attached pic)This one has a diagonal pattern which I like better, but I can't find it anywhere! It's K&S brand that makes it. This one was sturdy enough that I just glued in place without a styrene backing:

Thanks! Yup, it's basically Watson's inconic pattern. I improvised a bit on the top and around the back. The colors are also inspired from a real car: Dick Jackson's 58 T bird: 

 

Black and Cream Yellow go great together I think. And to set it off and be a bit different, I went with dark red for the interior.

Fabulous Thunderbird!! Great looking paint scheme!

And I thank you for the tip on the brass, too! I've been needing something like that for a'58 Impala project.
