Popular Post munzieb Posted March 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Always thought the Auburn 851/2 Boattail Speedster was an impressive looking car. The car was not in production for very long but because the design was so unique many reproductions were made in the '70's. I did my pixel pecking on MS paint 3 again and it took several days. The cutting took about 3 days since I only have one good eye until the other one is done next week. (FYI, there is a difference in both contrast and color. Undone eye has a more brownish tint like wearing brown sunglasses) Material was 1/8" BB with 1/4" backer. 17" x 10.5", Shellac/lacquer finish. I'll be holding off on any project until a week after my 2nd cataract eye surgery. Car, airplane, portrait or box, not sure yet. meflick, MTCowpoke22, Scrolling Steve and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 One of my favorites. Really a nice job. What a thrill it would be to ride in one of those. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 As you know, I love your patterns and the detail you are able to get into them. This one is very unique and I have never seen one even presented anywhere as a pattern before. Good luck with you second eye surgery. My wife had both of hers done a couple of years ago and it really helped her also. Thanks for presenting another amazing cutting for all of us to view. I am sure you will get a lot of great comments on this one too, as you always do on your wonderful work Dick heppnerguy munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Beautiful automobile and beautiful cutting. Good to hear about your 20/20 vision. I was nearly blind about four years ago from diabetic retinopathy. Fortunately two years of shots in my eyes now allows me to do everything without glasses with the exception of reading and scrolling. munzieb and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear it all works now. Cataract surgery is a hohum compared to what you must have gone through. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveww1 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 beautiful job, I went to get new glasses, they told me I was getting cataracts. I guess I didn't hear them right, I thought they said I was getting a Cadillac. It looks like I'll be getting the surgery in a year or so. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
