Edco...glad to see you're keeping this post alive, I haven't put any time into the '57 Vette I'm doing. I'm anxious to see how yours comes out but enjoy seeing the progress.
'Lil update... Interior work on the AMT '25 Ford Coupe. Made up some door panels and painted a skull shifter. Sorry for the late post Y'all.
My little monster got a first place in novice class for his batmobile. He also won a 37 Ford model for being first. Real proud.thanks to hmca Sent from my MotoG3 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I hope he stays interested in it. The bad part now is all we can build are Batman vehicles. I'd rather build something else but I have to keep him interested. But he went through some kits and liked the road agent and a gangbusters car. Sent from my MotoG3 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thought some of you may like my latest build. Called the 'Lowly A'. It is (will be) a chopped and chanelled Model A tudor in approx 1/3 scale.
Visiting Family in Michigan and stopped by to pick up some toy parts from a friend in his 80's who had worked in the auto industry. He showed me these 3 rare wooden Ford scale models from the early 1900's he had in his private collection. These were actually built and used by Ford Motor Company in their design and manufacturing of the real full size cars. The craftsmanship and detail on these models was amazing. The wheels were also wood with metal spokes and the brass work on the one car was even real.
Joker, soft solid aluminum or copper works too, and isn't so easy to bump and accidentally bend. I love solder for hoses, from radiator to garden hoses on dioramas. Gary
I just finished this Willys model i made to look like Brian's Willy from the movie Hotrod. I hope its ok that it has been built as a slot car, the body is a model car.
Thanks. I use superglue to hold it all together. I buy it in small bottles about 10 at a time. Here's some others I have built.............
Next project these old gangbusters kits are sweet. It has shot up window and radiator, a safe, two gangsters, guns, brass knuckles, jewelry and money cases. Never built one before but I think a box stocker would be a good change Sent from my MotoG3 using H.A.M.B. mobile app
I went to the NSRA national's east this weekend at York Pa. This is a few of the models that where in the model car contest. I thought that you might like to see a few of them. Ron... Sent from my SM-G920P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Found an interesting tree stump to use as kind of a "diorama" today. Took some of my Survivors out for some pictures on it. .
