Here are the better photos that I promised! I couldn’t take them before because my left heel’s Achilles tendon snapped on the 28th of November and had to have an operation. Yesterday, exactly three weeks after the surgery, the cast was finally removed and now I’ll have to use a walker boot for three more weeks. The good thing is that I’m not as restricted to do things around home as I was! This sinister looking Duesenberg is a real beauty, in sort of a hot-rodish kind of way! I’m very satisfied with both of the CMF models that I ordered, their level of detail is quite nice, very much like a Matrix model. I had never heard of this Imperial before, until I saw it announced by CMF. As a car it looks really garish but, as a model, it’s quite impressive, filled with lots of interesting little details! I’m really happy that I decided to buy it! As I mentioned before, this is supposed to be a 1957 Imperial, although it has a 1958 grille, and that’s a bit disappointing, but overall, this 1:64 scale NEO is quite nice for its size. This is a tiny model (1:87) of the 1959 Imperial, but Oxford did a pretty good and quite accurate job duplicating it! i think that there won’t be any new additions for a while, not after the cost of my surgery, but…well, you never!

I hope you recover soon, Julio. Meanwhile, I love the new buys! The Batmob... err, Duesenberg is my favourite.

Julio, my Christmas wish for you is to be on the mend with no pain and full functionality. I sincerely mean that as I too am dealing with something similar (shoulder tendonitis) and it's pretty darn miserable and very slow so far to rehab. Getting older is a real eye opener!
On to happier things, your models and photos look wonderful. Happy you had the opportunity add a few CMF cars! Cheers, BB

Good to hear you're on the road to recovery and your new purchases should at least cheer you up! With you on the Duesy, I got it on release and I love it; massive and menacing.
