Hot Rods *****Model Car Sunday***** 2/26/2012...

What do you guys got goin' on the bench???...
Thought I'd start on a 1/8 BiG T build...
I primed up the engine/trans halves and also painted a set of Vette valve covers... Which turned out really nice...

 

working on a 55 Ford F100 I will put up some pic a little latter

 

From the gathering yesterday at Mainline Hobbies, in Pa.

The nomad olds or ole mad or nolds should have been factory built! Those are good builds. All of them

Nice work gang! Thanks for posting all this great eye candy.

 

Here's my addition for this week. '49 shoebox, chopped, molded front bumper, chopped 49 merc grill, painted in alclad. I painted this last week, I'm finally getting ready to shoot clear. The car started with Duplicolor primer, to Krylon White Lacquer, then Testors White lightning pearl, the fade is Testors Icy Blue, Star Spangled Blue, Deja Blue, all decanted and Sprayed through my Paasche Talon.

 

Awesome!!

 

Nice! Can you show pics of the hardtop chop in progress?

 

thanks i am a big 32 fan

 

Doin a quick '60 Chevy truck/farmtruck with 6 banger, and also found a '64 beater I did 30 years ago as a teen.

 

Here's one I built back in 1987 when I was 17. it came in 3RD place a local model show that year. I just found it at my dads house, it needed a little TLC after my dad dropped it. My daughter and I have been rebuilding it and soon it will be back to show quality. Hope you enjoy.

 

Tuff stuff this week. Thanks to those who have posted.
Cheers
Rod

 

What blows me away in this thread is the fact one guy is building from scratch, another bought a die cast for parts, another is restoring one he did years ago.... modeling is really no different that the real thing.

 

their is one thing that is different the cost!!!!

 

I have not been building much, but I am prepping for the upcoming '32 Ford Build-Off here on the HAMB ( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=663180 ).

Be sure to join our modelers social group & get in on the fun!

I did scoop up these cool slicks a weekend or so back. Nice, guys- really nice.

 

Such beautiful work on some of these kits! It's nice to see a lot of the resin bodies and kitbashing going on. Makes me want to jump into some of my more involved kits, but there's never enough time in a day!
