Art & Inspiration Anyone build models? **DU WARNING**

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=105 theres the link to the plastic model builders forum....
and your fence is flat out amazing!!!!!! its all great, but that fence and sign????damn bub! killer!

 

you need like a scale person looking over the fence or something. or some punk kid on a bike staring at the cars dreaming of what they could be.

 

Still love building models especially the 1/8 scale. Bought the body on e-bay scrounged up a bunch of parts and scratch built a few and this is what i ended up with, artwork is hand painted.

 

Couple more 1/8 scale models, grew up building model cars, now its hard to find a hobby shop that sells em, or kids with the patience to build them.

 

Nice diorama work!

 

I love building model cars i have been builing model cars since i was 6 years old my dad and me used to build them together he bought me the ZZ top Eliminator for my fist build and still have it.Now not only am i building models but trying my own hand at my car.

 

I have seen some of the DePalma work in person. It will absolutely blow your mind!

 

By the way Sonny those are some bad*** models you built im not that talented but i wish i was.

 

Man you have got some talent thats for sure. And obviously a might big dose of patience I might add!!!

 

-That would be cool to add. Good Work, and great attention to detail.

Man, you got a couple Zingers there and a cool 55 G***er, thats a sweet find!

type in models or how to rust your model on youtube sweet stuff on there looken good

 

I admire your work. I build models when I can, so I really enjoy your attention to detail. I would love to own a Junkyard diorama with some Tri 5s and some 30s junkers in it. How much would something like that cost a guy?

 

Or some shady-looking guy with a camera trying to sneak some "spy shot" photos that he can post on some message board's junkyard thread.

Seriously though, fantastic work on the diorama! I wish I had talent like that.

 

Looks kinda like I remember Jimmy Restucio's junk yard on the White Horse Pike in Hammonton. Awesome work, bro'

 

Nice stuff guys.

 

Thats awesome. I was into trains heavy in the 70's. Heres a shot of me at the helm of HO scale Tyco stuff!!! LOL!

 

LOL I did! Check it out! LMAO

 

Thank you Sir. Glad to be here.

Heres one sample of the photography, lol.

 

And the crazy thing is that I knew both Dean Lowe and Sonny DePalma from modeling forums on the web before I joined the HAMB. Small world, indeed. Gary
