MetalEarth 1908 Model T Ford
Intro shot - boxart & 2 PE sheets - These are coloured on BOTH sides, so will have to be careful when choosing "Etched" vs "NotEtched"
Very tricky trying to make a box-frame out of the 2 sides & floors - There must be a better way???
The "box" gets firmed up with some extra pieces - the seat in this case.
Another component built is the windscreen, Dash & Steering column/wheel

Flip-side of the windscreen showing the double-sided pre-painting.
The bonnet, grill, front suspension is ONE PIECE, very carefully folded this way & that
Moving along the Model T production line, the engine bay gets mated to the windscreen,
which then gets mated to the coachwork

rear seat added, plus back of cabin meanwhile the whole "chassis" is ONE folded piece, comprising the floor & all mudguards & running boards - folding & rolling this way & that!!
Folding roof added with struts
Windscreen struts added - wheels next
Had to snicker at this - the width of the tyre tread, compared to the width shown in the drawing.....LOL
3 hours - that'll do for tonight!!

I knew Henry Ford was revolutionary........but this chassis?!?!?!?
Wheels completed and on the chassis - pliers included for spatial reference

Album info
One of the newer releases - not especially difficult according to the "difficulty scale" now shown on each kit - 'bout half-way!!
This one is pre-painted on BOTH sides - there's about 6 cars in the series - this one appealed to me!
