The vehicles look great.  I agree with Jeff that the clear windows look better to me. On a layout I would you some of each to create different looks. The dulcoate would look great in a vehicle in a alley or shadowed scene.

John,


Thanks for your nice comment.  I like the idea of using the car with dullcoated windows as a scene filler away from the front of the layout, parked between buildings, etc.

Jerry what a great job you've done on those cars!


I like the clear better though.


Jerry

Jerry,


Thanks for stopping by, your compliment,  and your input on the windows.  I'm with you, though the clear windows are more challenging to glue in place without fogging.

Dennis,


Looking forward to it!

Here is a shot of both Model T sedans, the one with the frosted windows, the one with the clear windows.  FWIW, the one is a soft black, the other is a very dark blue.

Jerry I like them both.  But still prefer the clear windows!


Anyway I think you did a great job on both.

I've only built one Jordan and found it's a lot harder than I expected. I'll do it again, for sure, but wow... I'm impressed here.

Jerry,

I like them both; however the dirty/clear windows look better to me. Having said that, I'd use them both on the A&S, with no hesitation.

Good job Jerry.....

Ditto, fantastic job on those, Jerry.  The first few Jordan's I  built drove me crazy, but the more I built them, the more I realized what great models they produce once you get used to a few of their eccentricities.  Congrats also for getting all four tires square to the ground. That remains one of my biggest challenges with Jordans.

On the dull-coated windows, park it in an alley and just explain that there's a bit of heavy osculation in progress inside.

Jerry, 


Thanks for the nice comment, I'm a fan of the clear windows myself.  I won't be building any more with frosted windows unless I manage to fog the glass so bad I have to frost them.

Craig,


Thanks for the kind words.  I find the more I build the easier it gets.

Tom,


Reading that you would use them on the A&S is flattering to say the least.

George,


Wow, a movie quote.  I love it!  Great explanation for the frosted windows.  I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" it. 


If you look back a page or two I explained how I adjust the axles to get all four tires to sit on the ground.  One of my first builds was so bad I modeled it up on a jack with the tire being changed.
