Sunday Models 10/6/13

Hello everybody. Here are some of the models that I have built in the last month or two. First up is a 32 Ford roadster, second is a 29 Ford roadster and the last one is another 32 Ford roadster.

 

Although it is not a custom car or a rod i want to show you my last model.
There are inside a few items missing but I'll add this after the MAGS Show (South East Street Rod Nats) in Tampa/Fl.

 

Here is my mid '60s inspired '37 Ford.......

 

Love that bronze color!

 

These are all previously shown dioramas . I've been at a local Hobbytown in Richmond Virginia helping to promote the store . They wanted unusual things to put on facebook . Sooooooo, I obliged.

This is Quality Oil #5 in Winston Salem North Carolina . It's the last of eight built between 1930 and 1933.


This Amoco is still standing, ( Barely ) in Richmond Virginia , at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Preston Avenue in probably Richmond Virginia's toughest getto . Built in 1937, I did the model to represent what it probably looked like in 1948.


Yep, the Zeppelin Diner from Los Angles California . This would be looking down West Florence avenue at Denver .

I built this case for some of my models with different heights/depths/angles to somewhat resemble looking at fish in an aqaurium

 

1/8 scale 1927 T Coupe. Started with the Lindberg Tall T, chopped, sectioned, shorten the body, and lengthen the doors. Scratch built the turtle deck twice, didn’t like the first one. Reworked the cowl, then cut up some Deuce fenders. Starting to get the look I want

 

Is that the old Monogram kit that was molded in yellow? I like it.

 

Some nifty ideas there... keep us posted! Gary

 

Great work again today guys ! Love that Amoco station !!

 

my new 1950 ford

 

Bump!

 

This is a cheap (chinese) Yatming 1/18 Willys Gasser model that I repainted/reworked. Out of the box it's ugly purple with 80s graphics. Now it's light blue Opel automotive paint with old Lindberg big Scale Drag decals and a matte clearcoat.

 

I haven't got anything done to post up, so here is a work in progress. It is just built from spare parts, the body is made from the remnants of a revell 32 3window and an AMT 5window coupe.
