Just got the ch***is painted on the '34 3W window this morning. So decided to do a mock-up and show some shots of the ch***is. Have also completed the interior since my last post Still a few things to do before final ***embly, but it is all shaping up well Geoff aka whodaky
Thankyou for the kind words Joel. Got a bit more done today. Decided to make an inner skin for the deck lid. It came out OK, although proportionally the holes should be smaller. The next one I make they will be smaller and the skin will have more of the factory pressings and ***orted small bolt holes etc. This is made from very aluminium building flashing! Am yet to attach the inner skin and paint it. Attached are a few shots, one is looking into the interior. Geoff aka whodaky
I was trying to figure out why a SUNDAY MODELS thread showed up from May 12th. I know,,,,you guys from down under put the day first, the month second. Anyway,,,,here's some stuff from the CPMCC meeting yesterday. More at the link if you want to see it all: http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model-club-meetings-2010/cpmcc-meeting--party/
I've been in a circle track mood so this Offy powered sprint car is my latest. For those who aren't familiar with model kits, this is converted from a '70s era sprint car kit that has a full roll cage and small block Chevy engine. The Offy engine I used came from an Indy car kit and the rear tires are drag slicks that I grooved by hand.
Wow, some great builds there. im working on two for two diffrent build offs, but you all will have to wait for pics.
As always, really super builds abound! Here's whats currently on my bench. Might be able to post the completed build next Sunday.
Thanx! The wheels and tires are sold as a set by Modelhaus ( http://www.modelhaus.com/ , Item T-640 on page 4 of Tires under Parts). I think the slightly oversize diameter of 18" Divcos tightens up the stance and at***ude of the roadster which is why I used them.
Great pics. Thanks for posting. I build models during the winter months. I only seem to get time to build 1 or 2 model cars till spring comes and I get back to my real car. I'm working on a '60 Chev model right now. If it turns out good I will post a pic on a future Sunday models.
Some body help me with the origins of those wheels please?Could use them in many applications Cheers Rod
