Sunday models

Thanks, I've enjoyed watching everyone's builds. But I need to start a new project myself. Ron... Here's a couple oldies.

 

Ron, what scale are they ? The detail is fantastic ! Ed.

 

Here are some more I did.

 

I've got a few models on ebay that came with other stuff that I've bought at estate sales, etc. A couple might be complete, some were started but not finished, or were screwed up a bit, and some are parts only. Cheap. If anyone is interested, look for yeoman58 auctions.
I saw the ebay site for listing ebay auctions, but don't know if I could put models there. If this isn't allowed here, either, please let me know.

 

I couldn't find anything on "yeoman58 auctions" on ebay. I tried a couple of variations.

 

Thanks Ed , They're 1/8 scale. The T closed pickup body, is one I built using the big T roadster. The others I built box stock. They re-released the dragster a few years ago. But not in it's original molded red medal flake. My old Big deuce model, was in a bad accident. So it needs rebuilt . I really liked yours. You did a great job on it! Thanks Ron... Here's another one of my old builds. But I can't remember it's name ?????

 

My 1/8.

 

I think you can post Hamb friendly model kits on missal. for sale.

 

Wow! Seeing the Sacremento Autorama pics reminded me that I took some photo's at the Grand National Roadster Show last month and completely forgot about it. Darn C.R.S! These are the 1/24 cars.

I've bought so many models from ebay to rebuild I'm beginning to feel more like a collector than a builder...LOL

 

Those are some great models! Thanx for the pix. LOVE that 1/8th rail. Gary

 

I stay off there as well as CL or pretty much ANY classifieds.... auctions, garage sales and antique stores..... I got a problem and I end up with so much crap that I don’t need and will never use! LoL!

 

Progress on my semi-custom '58 Fairlane 500.
Interior finished...
Panel outlines and scallops ala Watson...

 

Wow, you have a lot of patients, cool work ! Ed.

 

Gasser progress & an attempt at a scratch built tankster for the salt flats. Ed.

 

Is that Tamiya tape you are using? Any issues with bleed under at the edges? Fairly crisp lines on the scallops? Inquiring minds want to know. I have always admired your paint jobs and would love to try something similar myself.

 

Thanks! Yes, I use Tamiya tape to mask the large areas after using thin (1/32") strips of 3M #235 Black Photographic Tape to outline the pattern. The color is airbrushed on. No issues with bleed-under or blow-under unless I screw up somewhere.

 

34 Ford coupe 4 cylinder project got color today.

 

Conversation / PM sent RE tape. Gary

 

Is anyone of you talented model

 

I have that kit....

 

I want to chop it but don’t wanna screw it up

 

That is an incomplete question. Guessing you are looking for some help chopping your 5 window.
Jimmy Flinstone makes a resin body.It works with the Revell kit.

How about a pair of ‘36 3 windows? Chopped top custom and vintage drag car.

Roof/cowl/firewall on these fit like garbage. Adding to the front edge of the cowl on the chopped car and split the firewall on the stock height drag car.

The main body and fender unit on the stock top was first built around 1975 or so. Stripped it, created a trunk lid and used a few parts from the latest release. Worst part so far was building the tiny English wheel to make a new trunk skin!

The custom will be as smooth on the bottom as it is on the top.

Stay tuned.

LM14,what are you using for filling those seams?

 

Spru glue. Mixture of Tamiya thin liquid cement and chunks of spru/parts tree. Use white so it blends with every plastic. Let the plastic melt in the glue to an Elmers Glue consistency. Use the brush in the Tamiya bottle to apply it. I started with a 1/4 full bottle of Tamiya glue and added spru to get the consistency I wanted. If you brush it on the body and it won't flow into seams just use a bit of straight Tamiya glue and brush it on top and work the spru glue where you want it to go. Let it sit for a couple days before filing and sanding. If it’s completely dry it sands nice.

Great tip! Thanks! Coupe is looking good!
