Sunday models

Was going to show images of my new GMP 1/6th Ardun, but I will show it next week! I scanned some shots of a model I did of Jake's tub just after it was featured in American Rodder (many years ago) for a thread by TRJ. Geoff aka whodaky

Very cool Whodaky.

I finished these three for Pistons N Paint, but the wind kept the models in their box. One pic, then a link to more...

Wow Fidgiter your stuff is awesome. I too attempted the '31 sedan, however mine isn't as good as yours. And the pic i haven't isn't the best, but you get the idea.

 

Forgot something, I have to give props to Tanko for the motor.

 

Fidg, That deuce delivery is TUFF!

 

Here is one of the six models I am working on currently.

Whodaky, cant wait to see the ardun! We had a look at one of them at the local model shop, the detail is amazing!
Bendigo swapmeet was yesturday, dad pickup up a 34 coupe "Wheels of fire" snaptite kit for me...has anybody tried to make them look good? Should be a bit of fun :<

 

I built one a couple of years ago that I think looked pretty cool. Engine was the Lincoln mill out of an AMT '25 T kit.

 

I'm working on these two. They are Hubley diecasts. The coupe is almost done. I tried painting whitewalls on an extra tire, but it's still sticky two weeks later

I bought the tub in pieces for parts, roof was already whacked off, so I slapped it together with no fenders, running the banger, channeled it over the A frame, used the wire wheels, and put a cover over the back seat area. Still has the*****py, er, patina'ed black paint on it.

 

I'll bet you're using enamel for that.....go get some acrylic white paint, it will dry in under an hour and look a lot better. That enamel wont dry on the rubber tires.

 

I need to order some tires for my 57 chevy gasser,I restored a MPC spirit of 57 that I built in the mid 70s to be a 60s era gasser and its done except for getting the correct tires and rims and****embling. I got a AMT orange blossom special 37 chevy pulling truck that I am going to build like my 37 but I have to find a 41 chevy p/u kit to get a stock frame and suspension as the 37 kit I got was missing the frame and suspension.

Thanks for the tip! I was using testors, where can I get a little bottle of acrylic?

 

Any hobby shop or arts store, Michael's or Hobby Lobby will have it. Hell you can get it at wal mart. That coupe will look great with whitewalls, though it looks good as is too.

 

Thanks. Hard to tell in the pics but the rear fenders are bobbed. I gotta paint the top insert and running boards. Black or white, I can't decide. Need to put in the taillights and add some chrome, hubcaps, and trim.

 

Blackwalls = black top and boards

Whitewalls = white top and boards

 

In between trying to get a couple of other projects done, I shot some of that House of Kolors model paint from Wally World on my '31 Coupe... looks pretty nice.



BTW: This one'll have either pearl white or a lime gold top and interior.

NEW ADDITION:
mocked it up with a deuce tube axle - the hemi block will match the body, but everything else will be chrome, I think.

 

This is the one I'm trying to finish up by tuesday night for a club contest:

 

Cool stuff and inspired me to finish this one then get stuck into a few others.
