Sunday models

Picked up this today,going to use some parts from the AMT 57 and latest Revell versions to improve it a bit

 

Wow. Great build.

 

As it turns out, I bought another real nice one. And, my younger brother had some of the parts I needed. He did cast a bumper spear for the rear and had it plated!!

 

I've been on a roll doing little stuff for the bar trailer.

 

nice bottles; great cans!

 

On the Joe's Garage, you gotta build a tire rack for one side. They were in every old gas station.

 

not to mention the hose for the dinger-bell to get the guy out to pump your gas

 

This one had been sitting in my dads office since the beginning of time. 63 Mustang II show car . The kit wasn't that great but it turned out decent.

 

I put a 63 Corvette front clip on a 62. I was inspired by a Steve Sanford illustration.

 

Just curious if I can spray a model of the car I painted last year using the leftover lacquer metallic automotive paint? If so, what is the best process for good results?

 

Use a good automotive primer to seal the plastic, as the paint could cause “crazing” or even melt it.

 

been a while since the last time I posted,built me a photo backdrop for finished builds.

Cold Sunday so I wandered around a huge toy show this morning. I like tow trucks and car hauler and have several. A friend found me this custom built plastic Model-T tow truck with a flathead engine. Nice little addition to my collection.

 

Found some more pictures....

 

nice.

Q: are those Big Ts?

somehow don't look 1:25 scale.

thanks

 

1:24 scale look a likes....

 

I should have mentioned that I have both in 1/8 scale stashed away for a rainy day.....

 

Nice build. I had a 1/1 in that color. I hope to recreate it soon in 1/25.
I have this one in my stash. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

The details are really impressive! It looks way better than the box art.

 

That is a great kit... I'd love to tackle the ones I have, if I could get off my dead ass...
