Sunday models

Hi guys ! I think i had to post the latest from my friend Bill Stillwagon... That baby is so sweet you gotta love it !

Pure eye candy !

 

That MUST be built in "full scale"!!
The way the top flows down into the chrome trim on the quarter panel is perfect!

 

I saw that in person yesterday. Bill is the best at what he does.

 

One Word!

SaWeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That profile is BEAutiful.
I agree, that window line vanishing into the side trim works.

 

Fabulous build.......Any pics of his other builds?

 

I have an interesting project I'd like to share, but it's a '60s dragster, rather than a vintage rod. It was built by eight friends, and organized by a very likeable Denver modeler, who has since passed away from cancer.

Interested?

 

I know Bill and his work is unbelievable. I haven't seen this before and it is remarkable. Thanks for the post, Mike

 

Zed, I love that car! "Blue Danube" is what My son likens it to. Very, very sweet stuff!

Last week a request was made for more of my '57. I originally chopped it in 1978. I was in the 8th grade. I'd talked my brother out of this kit; it was an original AMT 3 in 1. I'd always planned to use all the custom parts but lost them over the years so when AMT reissued it a few years ago and Walmart sold it for 5 bucks, I snatched up another one for the parts. This thing wasa candy apple red bomb with a blown Hemi jacked up 14" with 4 wheel drive and off road tires. Thank God it's been rescued and given a more dignified
existence. Oh, yeah, the interior was a work of art,...more on that later...
(I'll find the one existing photo of the car and post it at a later date.)

 

Here's a couple more. The Impala is one My son Ian and I built to his specs; the tub is one my same older brother gave me along with the Bel Air and started out an original
Monogram Early Iron hot rod kit.

(First some sketches inspired by the model...)

 

here's a project i havent shown yet, everything thats white, i made (besides the whitewall inserts of course...

 

got some more done to this one, since the pics i completed the flipnose and shot a coat of primer on the passenger side only a couple flaws, but i can take care of it.

I have a lot of Kustom stuff but I have a Hell of a time tryin to post em! Too old I guess!

 

Just some in-progress crap from me this time, I haven't actually finished a car in a little while now. I should try to fix that.

Here is a Revell/Model King 54 Chevy that has been chopped and sectioned:


and a Monogram '36 3W coupe that has been chopped about 2 1/2 scale inches. I had to cut the roof into five pieces to make it all line up again at its new altitude.


still lots of work left on both before the paint can fly, but slowly progress is getting made.

 

wow

 

thougth i would post some pics of what my son got done. His project is a 51 fleetline gasser. Go a nomad front i beam with 29 ford rear spring. Go a six with a custom homebuilt 4 carb intake. Headers made from a revell 29 4 cylinder motor. Hope you enjoy the pics.

 

Looks like a near clone to Zocchi's old 54 merc that now resides in the Northwest. Even the same color and trim. And.............Yes! I know it's a 50 Ford model.

 

Some nice choppin' goin' on, EVERYBODY!
All very conservative, by model standards. Very nice.

Jigger, that Buick trim looks great!

Thanks for posting, guys!

 

Zocchi's merc had a 55 Poncho side trim, and Bill' shoebox an 54 Olds side trim ... don't look the same at all to me !

 

Post it.......this is a model car post of vintage cars of all types.

 

Boy, can I relate to this. That Ford shoebox is spectacular! WOW!
Here's a version from that lousy black '56 chevy Monogram kit

 

It would be real hard to tell this was a model, from this view, if someone wasn't told otherwise.
Very cool.

 

Here is another of it. Its HOK Candy Kobalt Blue over course metalflake. The white is topped off with blue pearl.
Lots of fun...

 

Here is one a buddy did called the Brown Recluse

 

Awe, Thanks Mo,

 

Believe it or not Tuff Tin, that's where I first saw that color combo, I always liked Zocchi's Merc, in fact when I built My 54 that was the plan but I got nervous that My bodywork probably wasn't as straight as his and was afraid of the dark blue! So I did Wimbleton White and a Baby Blue. When I started the model, I knew it was gonna be the Dark and light blue, I really like the combo!

 

What happened to the rodderz.com website?

 

this is a blue print if i ever saw one!

 

someone was supposed to pay for the site name, but it appears nobody has taken care of it yet

here's a link to it though
