Hi
Well if you made that yourself and it was your first effort you should be well pleased ,the shape is really good and with a bit of care in the finishing and painting you will have a model you can be proud of

cheers tony

 

That's fantastic, very well done, you should be proud.
I love the Volvo PV models.

 

Nice job, I see you've used sheets of balsa to form your original block to give you those built in lines to help with symmetry. What's your plans for a chassis?

 

Well done carver, truly scratch built, and it definitely looks like the real one in shape etc.
As Tony has said, you should be well pleased with your efforts.

There was me hoping that this was the mold for a small production run. Very nice well done

 

Beautiful work and your English is fine!

 

Brilliant, I'm so in awe of you guys who are able to carve models from raw materials. Although I've got a good eye for whats straight and level, this kind of work is beyound me.

Look forward to seeing the progress, thanks for sharing it Carver.

That is a very promising start Carver.

It looks really good.

Having made a total scratch Balsa Triumph TR3 I know how much work goes into something like this.

Keep up the good works thanks for sharing and please keep us updated!

 

Very impressive as a first effort. If this is the way you start just imagine where you can finish.

 

I'm speechless , what great work . Keep going and keep us posted .

I'm overwhelmed by the response! After all it is just an old family car...
Thank you all for your interrest and kind comments!

The photos in my first post are a couple of months old, next 2 are a little newer. We will soon catch up...
This is not my first effort, it's my second. The first ended up a mess, don't wanna talk about it.... Learned a few things though.

Trying the body with penelope pitlane wheels and PCS chassis. Later on it will get a simple homemade brass thing to go with the retro bodystyle.

Here are most parts of "the kit" lined up. Brass grill is inserted. Bumpers are made of sheetstyrene, doorhandles of brass. Chrome is bare metal.

I'm very impressed by the line of the roof, very nicely curved/carved.
I recently built a resin kit of a PV544 and am becoming quite an admirer of these older Volvos.

 

incredible job , especially for a first (..ish) attempt! that has set the bar high.

 

Well Done.

 

Wow! Bowled over!

Sometimes these type of thread start well but finish badly (like if I was to attempt it...) but this is truly impressive

 

this type of thread...or this type of build? I'll happily play with a lot of materials but me & balsa have a pretty poor relationship. one slip and its lunched!!

 

Wonderful work, looking forward to seeing more

 

Very very nice! Beautiful job and good choice of car....

I knew the 544 and we had & 122, but I didn't know the 444....

Really an excellent rendition, bravo!
