As for someone mentioning plasticene clay to better recreate a subject...I think that's what TKM may use on some of his masters to shape/detail.
hmmm... I thought it was tkmresin(models?) whom I came across his auction a couple of days ago. This one does not have the best feedback, 99.1% for less than 200 auctions.

I attempted once to start with his 51/52' pontiac. I was lucky it was not a banana shell. Something may come out good after putty and sanding. The grill and trim has to be cut away and replaced. However, after hearing about alernatives, like Tom Coolidge, I gave up the interest. It is much easier to swap the roof of a TC Pontiac (to get the hardtop), or perhaps ask Tom to do it. He loves making several versions of the same subject, or maybe he did it already.

But TKM models are not that bad after all. They remain ideal objects to practice putty application and sanding. With their unique banana shape, wonderful junkyard or repair workshop scenes.
