Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by DocWatson, Sep 6, 2008.

  1. Well, its sunday here.
    I am away from home and my models so heres an old pic. Everything you see has been scratch built in 1/32 scale from plastic card and br*** tube. Not quite HAMB stuff, its for a DB5.

    Proof of the small scale, a standard Humbrol tin next to it.

    Here's one I finished a couple of years ago - built out of bits & pieces from my parts box. Based on a Revell chopped 29 pickup cab on a Revell 32 ch***is.

    Here is the finished 48 convertible from last weeks Sunday Models
    I got the front end down a fair bit compared to the stock height illustrated by the 48 Woody.
    I thought Revell may have added a lowered front end as they have done with the 37 Coupe
    I built in a style that I like - sort of custom meets resto rod if you know what I mean

    I built this for a model car buddy. It's a clock/diorama made from test shots and reject resin parts

    I've been wondering the same thing.

    2 Model shows going right now, today's and last weeks. Huh!

    Nice Ford Seth.
     
  13. Love the detail in this mate, those inner door structures realy make this stand out. I dunno why but I cant build a model and not put stuff like that in. Is so obvious, it just crys out for it!

    The boothill express has them but you need to paint the white walls on the slicks. Testers acyric wooks good for this.

    Thanks Doc. :) The lenses are out the parts box. Maybe from AMT 57 Chevy kit? Don't know why I'm thinking that... I turned the bezels to suit out of silver steel rod.

    DB5 looks pretty trick!

    Okay, so I thought I was the only one into 1/64ths. Can you show more pics of the underside and such. Where did you get those wires from, what car. Looks fantastic, btw. Mine aren't near as cool as yours:

    WOW! I love it all, nice work guys! Kick*** stuff..

    This 48 ford is a revell goodguys kit, and like above, it has the 48 ford woody stance... So i lowered it by the most unrealistic way possible! I added little tubing pieces to each wheel to change the ride height. They dont sit in the centers, but offset. I dont mind since its a diorama /shelf model for picture taking.

    I chopped the roof and used the included kit window frame. Il keep the carson tops as a removable top to show the details in the interior once complete.

    I have about 25 sets of pie crust slicks in my tire bin already but none of them are wide whites unfortunately. Maybe I'll just try painting one to see how it turns out. Thanks for the link to the rims. Great stuff by the HAMB modelers on here, this is my favorite post right next to the Friday art show.
