Sunday models

beautiful work on the models. The interior of the GTX is awesome.

 

Yeah, it is.....

 

A friend was reorganizing his model work space when I stopped in yesterday and give me a box of junk to take with me.

 

The Coupe should clean up good.

 

Some more cool builds from MCM.....

 

..... and..

 

Started a 32 Caddy. Making into something else.

 

I believe ****ie Harrell (sp) ran one of these.

 

Great work, if mine ends 1/2 as nice I’ll be happy !

 

Thanks!

 

I'm on it quick......well look what I found so far.....I think I could do this , I have seen several shots of this car in some of my old magazines. Plus I just got that new collection of old Hot Rod and others magazines and they go from 1951 to 1971 so I'm sure I can find more info.....I remember seeing a fastback version as a drag car also.
I'm also finding parts for that broken down 60 Ford convert, I might be able to save that one also.

 

A little progress this week.

 

This arrived the other day. I wish it was a 1/25 scale but it's still pretty detailed and very cool!

 

Nice!

 

Where did you get it from.

 

Close

 

Putting the finishing touches on an Out of Box build of a Revell of Germany Jaguar XK SS....the 1957 "stock street" version of the famed D-Type Jag racer.

 

Well quick I'm not from Chicago, but I do have a large collection of old magazines and it just grew by a few more hundred recently , is this the car you spoke of...
haven't found a color picture yet
My old collection seemed to skip around 68, 69, 70 and 71, this new grouping fills in the blanks...it goes from 51-71 and there all in plastic sleeves so it takes a bit longer to flip through them.
I can PM you the complete article if you would like to see it. .

 

I got it off ebay. I normally don't buy overseas but I really wanted it. It came quick too about 1 week.

Just found this part...I think I could make it work? Just another possible build idea.

 

Starting to do a little "unbodywork & unpainting"

 

I might have to get one too

 

Get one of these too and use the cab to make a mid 30s GMC or Chevy tow truck. I have one to use the stake bed to make a US Chevy WII surplus truck like the one my Dad had after the war.

Ok...I will see what I can do.....oopps...that other shot just slipped by.

 

Wow, I've missed a lot! Not sure why I'm not getting notified by the H.A.M.B. of all these great posts. Love to see junk box raw materials start a new life. Nicely done fellas...

Despite some domestic distractions including a ****ped out clothes dryer today, I was able to make a little progress.

No filler pieces were needed between the sidewall castings to arrive a the correct width, so that saved some time.

I also got the shackles and mounts on the rear springs. The red stains on the tire treads are either Oklahoma red dirt, or the first p*** of body filler.

Happy Sunday Modeling!

Finished my Summer project finally.

 

@NHRANUT, your g***er is a gas. Awesome!
