Tony .... it's not something I would build cuz it's just not my thing but man o man I like it just the same. What's wrong with it? Looks pretty good to me. I appreciate the effort and talent it takes to do this! For me it's about the joy in the journey not just the completed item. Kudos to you. 
Agree with Mr. Rick.  As has been stated before we are our worst critic.

You did a fine job GR8!!  You def should have show this!   A lot of fine work!

Fit-up looks great, clean seams and smooth curvy bits!

Gonna be a "Tony's cars" car lot popping up with the late night TV ads soon!
yeah id say you did a great job. ive never done any model work but im sure id never have done it anywhere close to yours.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Looks great! I cannot imagine even attempting a build like this. As noted, we are our own worst critic. I like the "Tony's Workshop" logo on the underside too.
I think it looks great Tony. BTW, in that last pic, it that the remote for it hanging there?

Tony…. There is nothing to criticize  here and certainly a lot to praise.  This is not an easy plan and you did a great job.  I’ll bet you learned a lot doing it.  Be proud of the accomplishment.   We are all our own worst critic.  Be happy with the outcome.  You did well.  
One day, I’m going to build a model like this.
When I do, I’ll compare them and you can see how nice your build is. 😉
Looks good to me,Tony! I'd paint it, but that's me.

Nice!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

First off, good sir, I am the last persons in a position to criticize anyone’s work. I am an absolute hack at this. Secondly, we are always hard on ourselves when we don’t meet our expectations. Ergo, your work is always better than you think. 
What beautifully made model!
Top marks Tony 👍

Life’s Good, Enjoy Each New Day’s Blessings

Looks good from here, Tony, so if it’s as bad as you say, then you’re a way better photographer than you say. Take your pick! ;-)

May you have the day you deserve!

My photos are very poor as said you guys are just to nice

Awesome. I adore those wooden vehicles!

It seems you are far from satisfied with your SC 6. Despite all our differences in craftsmanship, I think we all know that feeling. I sometimes make some parts more than 5 times before I'm satisfied. That means 4 failed attempts. So far I haven't made a single model that I was completely satisfied with. Time and again, I have to realize that I'm a human being who isn't perfect, far from it. And I don't just realize that; I have to accept it. Is it important that your SC 6 is perfect or is it important that you enjoy what you're making? I hope the latter.  You are a big boy you said. Can you take it that enjoying is more important than the results?

I'm not only very happy with your contributions, but also with everything you post on Craftisian, including this SC 6, even though you are not happy with it.

I would also like to point out that although it may seem so, this model is certainly not simple. I had a lot of problems with making the trunk. 

But... tell me a little about your new shop. Have you moved?
