ok, its not sunday yet, but here's the sunday models thread. i finished my 29 roadster, and i started building a roth inspired bubble top. it'll run a nailhead with a 6 carb log intake, and my plan for paint is an early 80's ford green metallic, i swiped a paint chip from the automotive paint store, and i like how it looks.
Cool models. Nice a roadster. I like that. The bubble project should be kool too. The Willys truck looks good. I better go get the camera and take some pics of the lil I got done this week.
Here's the '53 Stude- Bonneville Record Breaker I finished yesterday. BTW, the "tag" on the rear bumper reads "BNVL S2D" (As in "Bonneville Stude"). Notice the lower stance when compared to a 'stocker'. Stude Powered Well, here's some pics of the Stock '53. I can't take the credit on this one, it was a gift.
Nice Studes !traditional rod and kustom in scale - Home Check this site out when you get a chance. Several guys from here are members over there too.!
Here's a prototype I built for my 1:1 Stude project. I began the project by combining AMT's Starlight hardtop body with the Revell "Miss Deal" kit to produce a two-door post, then chopped it as the real car. I sold that model, but first replicated it as follows : I used some craft store mold maker to produce a female mold. This was filled with plaster to produce the plaster "buck" seen in the picture. The body in the foreground began as a flat sheet of styrene, heated in the oven and vacu-formed over the plaster mold seen behind it [using a hand made box and a Vacuum cleaner.] Please pardon the mags and modern paint, as the real car will be retro, with '56 Lincoln caps, Hawk fins, and '37 Ford headlights. [Any tips on frenching these is welcome .] The top was chopped by leaning the un-cut windshield as far as it would go, and replacing the wraparound rear gl*** with an inverted '50 Ford rear window. This produced about a 6" chop at the A-pillar.
I started this a while ago, but im back to building it now, i sectioned some plastic from the middle, and made it skinnier, it sits on a fuel alteredframe. Engine is a concept DOHC 426 Hemi, it will be Fuel Injected
How a bout a Ford sportn' a 2x1 Flatty, floor shift, craggers and goodyear F60/14 in the front. A little t******* and goodyear rally GT L60/14 in the rear. slathered in orange and covered by a white top. P.S. this model has held up well considering it was ***embled in 63'
you gotta love models. everything you wanna do to your real cars you can do to them. the only thing is that if you **** up you throw it away. but then if you do it right you wish you woulda done it on your real one
