anyone remember the Johan series of cars which had the inside of the transparent body metalflaked so they could be painted with somewhat predictable results? (early - mid '60s)
An update of a little progress of my Monogram models. These are now a bit more presentable since pulling them out of the boxes they were in. Most of the work was repairing and reattaching the windshield frames. Others needed the headlights to be reattached. Some also had broken axles. They still need more work to finish them if I can find the various missing parts.
Those were made by Revell and were called “Metalflake Show Car Series”. Here’s an example of one of them.
Testing out my first 3D printed kit. Just a body, I’ve got to scratch build everything else. 47 Cad Sedanette
Gene Winfield customized many of the AMT annual kits in the '60s. Here's the latest about him. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...for-taking-us-all-along-for-the-ride.1330429/
if'n you guys like late '50s & early '60s customs, give Jimmi a look; very enjoyable 10 minutes out of your day.
let's not forget the guy that got us started adding nuts & bolts details on our models: Augie Hiscano - The Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum sorry; i'm on a binge Contest Cars 2017 | GSL XXVIII
I got this with a bunch of parts and does not look like it was finished,it's a Revell 56 F 100 with the rear of a Revell 57 Ranchero. I think.I have found head lights and a grille that will work might have to graft a different front suspension as the front of the frame is messed up
Here is my version of the box art from a early 60s AMT 40 Ford coupe,used the sedan fenders so I can make it a standard. The body,fenders and interior are from the 60s, think ing about building the race version soon.
Once again, credit goes to my friend Jeff for the Bare Metal Foil work .... he sure does nice work. Now, to pick the next one. Galaxie '48 fastback Chev ? Or 1st issue AMT 5w '32, chopped & channeled w/ full fenders ?
