Projects *****model car sunday***** 2/19/2012

Let's see some projects or finished models... I have a bunch of stuff to post later on... I'm working on a 1/8 scale sbc with a 6x2 "dragstar" intake setup....

 

I've got a few projects going on the bench these days. In addition to the full-size '51 Chevy in the garage, I have a small on on the bench, being done in a totally different style



Restoring a '61 Ford uni that I got as a builtup



And not HAMB-friendly, but while searching through my stash for a suitable induction setup for the gasser Chevy, I found this partially finished '68 Chevelle, so I decided to finish it up, too.

 

OK Dueces, you beat me by half an hour, I will try and repost my thread.

 

Lets see how we go this time

If dioramas are not your scene, try these cars built by fellow Hamber FC59







Happy viewing

Nice stuff so far. I have nothing to post this week.

 

BTTT, so it doesn't get swallowed up.

Here some more pictures of my 1950 Woody that posted last week the first time



Here one of the surf boards


And here a mock up of the beach scene

 

Finished the transformation on the '29 Woody. Started this one about 15 years ago when monochrome and high-tech look were in.

 

Great start today guys!!....
I'll got hit the spray booth as soon as I'm done with my coffee.. ..... And show ya's what I got going...

 

I always enjoy seeing all these great models on Sunday.

 

I see a couple of surf themed models here today. Here is one I built twenty years ago...

 

Pics from MAMA meeting, yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Lyle, Any pictures of the full-fadeaway coupe in the background of the first picture?

That red pick-up looks like it could be a Stillwagon build.

Thanks for posting.

 

It's always easy to spot the Stillwagon builds.

The '48 is mine and I think I've posted it on here, but here's a few anyway.

 

nice looking models, guys. fbama73, outstanding work

 

This is a model of an actual building, a Twin Chimney . Built in 1957 by Crown Oil I'm showing it this week end , Febuary 25th at an I P M S show in Richmond Virginia :

I'll be showing it ait would have appeared in 1965:

That's cool scrubba, nice job!

 

Your body looks great, can't wait to see it and chassis together.

 

Picked up this '55 with some other stuff at the Heart of Maryland auction & show last year. My son-in law just bought a '71 Stepside so I am looking to trade the cab for a non-hamb friendly '71 or '72 Chevy Cab.

That Crown Gas Station is fantastic!

Larry-these kits are out there too but some are pricey

 

here is my first attempt at wiring using paperclip coatings for plug boots on my 49 Merc. Next is the fuel fittings and lines.

 

did this quicky build this week.

 

Wow! Some nice stuff this week!

Don't ya just love opening up a new model!



This one is for the Model build off!

Nice job...Give me a dollar of regular.

 

Just came back from a trip to WalMart. They are carrying models again, after a long absence. They had Revell, Monagram and AMT kits, for about fifteen bucks.

 

Good stuff this weekend! Scrubba, that gas station is very nicely done. Fat141, love the color on that '58 Impala (Don't forget to foil those vent window frames!)

Finally got the interior done on the Pennsylvania Bluebird, my Larry Watson-tribute '59 T-bird...









Also shot the clear coat but stilled needs to be polished out. Just to give you a taste of the finish here's a couple cropped shots of it mocked up with bumpers and chassis.

 

Kmart has them also for the same price... I was checking out the "Beatnic Bandit" kit and the '55 chevy convertible kit they had on the shelves...
