Art & Inspiration Model Car Sunday

Did a search and didn't see one for today, so here's a start.

This '49 Ford is kind of a survivor. I built this maybe 25 or more years ago. I keep thinking I should repaint it but I kinda like it the way it is.

 

nice!!

 

Most things from the 80's indeed need repainted but I'd leave that.

 

Nice '49! That's a great old kit; for accuracy it's just as good if not better than any recent release.

Keeping with the blue-with-flames theme is this AMT Deuce roadster built in vintage style with painted and striped flames. Built a couple years ago from a '70s reissue and a bunch of early '60s parts.

 

Your right that thing looks pretty good to me!

 

Nice Deuce, great stance.

 

Nice Deuce, cool '49.....leave it alone....build a new one....

 

I have a ton of models but usually only use them for my Art dioramas....like this one a lot....

 

Some more on the truckster, and I started a Doyle Gamell coupe tribute 3w.

 

I think you should keep the '49 as is.

 

...that's a nice 49, don't change anything.
...nice 32 goin together too.

 

I'm working on the Revell '49 Merc. I've changed the tail lights to an oval shaped frenched light, modified the fender skirts to follow the curve of the Buick side trim (I got these from Altered States over 10 years ago), and the head lights will be the tri-blade headlights from the Blueprinter Parts Pack. I'll be adding arm rests (you can kinda see one of the ones I made in the last picture) and photoetched door handles/window cranks to the interior, and use the '58 Chevy steering wheel from the Roth Outlaw.

I'd leave the '49 alone. And I really like the deuce and the diorama.

I got a TON of traditional style models to add to this thread...just gotta get my camera workin haha

 

Nice models. That B&W diorama looks great!

 

Looks good guys, I'd leave the 49 as is. Looks toooooo sweet to mess with that!!!!
