Sunday models

Yes!Always liked when Snoopy chased the Red Baron!

 

Then you need one of these- had one as a kid (wish I still did)!

 

I built lots of balsa and
Paper kits as a kid and those were pretty difficult. I can't imagine building one from scratch. My hats off to you.

Thanks!I remember that motorized Snoopy kit;!Dad put a penny in it to make more positive motor contact!

 

Thanks it is an interesting challenge!

 

We had that Snoopy kit with the motorized prop! Dad had to put a penny in the battery box to make more positive contact!

 

I owned one of those Snoopy kits! Too funny...

Two more.

 

I lost track of how many of those '51's I've built and fought that glass to look right. I think the next, if I ever do another, will have that piece cut into separate parts and fitted in from the outside. Back glass as well.

 

I needed a. engine,so I found a 7 cylinder crankcase in my stash and made out of aluminum tubing and wire.I will add push rods later.

 

Added the push rods and gave it a black wash .

 

After letting this kit sit for about a month I decided to get to work and finish it. As I was working
on it a few minutes ago the instruction sheet caught my eye and I finally saw the lighter, ashtray
and the cigarette. Yep that was my work area as a nine year old in 1959. Funny that they didn't
include my bottle of Blatz beer, or maybe I hid it before mom came into the room.

 

Here's my Amt 1932 ford roadster Street rod kit. I have modified this kit in various ways to get an early 50s look for the car. I have done modifications such as: splitting the wishbones, lakester headers, custom scoop air filters, removing the exhaust moulded into the chassis, shortened light bar and making the gear leaver into a column shift.
Hope you all like it.

 

Here are another 2 of my models. My 28 model a roadster with a 302 ford and my flathead powered 27 t made from leftover parts and a custom made body.

 

It's the "Buzz Bomb" !

 

Crashed the 32 on the way to the car show !

 

Don't you hate it when that happens????....

 

Gotta get the glue out !

 

I did that once bringing one in to work to show off. Luckily no major damage but my pride, from doing the parking lot tango trying to catch it before it ate the pavement!

 

I put this together from the parts box,not happy with the grill,but it was the best I could do.

 

Great bright red paint job!Where did you get the grille?

 

Okay I used one if those lipo stick batteries to power the motor,as it fit inside of the fuselage.Wired in an external micro switch to activate it.Added the tail too!

 

@41 coupe I like the grill, it's different. I like what you did with the front fenders too.

 

Thanks guys,I made the grill from the valley pan of the Pontiac engine from the monogram Big Deuce kit.

 

I love it. really captures the early magazine car feel.

 

Made the machine gun from aluminum tubing and plastic.

 

I scored at a swap meet today. I picked up an old Barry Setzer Vega funny car, an old Jag Xke kit, and an AMT 3 in 1 Mercury. The Vega with driven by Pat Foster, Cole Foster's father, and the kit is ULTRA DETAILED! Included is a pic of the real car doing a smokey burnout. ENJOY!
