Very cool @mchook. I can remember drawing cars like this, and choppers, in middle school study hall. I got pretty good with a pencil, at the...
@philo426, What scale is your jet powered train? I’m into 1:12 on gauge 1 track. Cheers, David
Starting painting my project Blackstar ('25 Dodge Bonneville special), and began some interior detailing today. The seat bottom cushions are...
@mchook, your jeep is awesome!
Wow, I need to check that out! Thanks for posting it…
Damn it Deuces. Just when I'm beginning to think I might know what I'm doing, you post something from MCM like these. That black El Camino is tasty.
I’ve been thinking about getting into an airbrush John. Is it possible for you to post the link of your listing here? Thanks, David
It's been a long time coming, but I was able to get a coat of primer on the body today! Now it's beginning to look like a hot rod... I've had...
Your old Badman is gonna be Badass, and your friend will cherish your gift forever. Awesome idea!
Wow, I've missed a bunch. Not sure why I wasn't getting notifications anymore. I'll blame it on those pesky untrustworthy electrons again. All...
That quad light F-100 is legit. Awesome! Those are my favorite generation of the F-100, my favorite of all time truck. Been looking for a decent...
Really cool models @Deuces! Thanks for posting... I'm especially fascinated by the speed boat being pulled by the Suburban. Do you know if it's...
On a separate subject, for a while now I've wanted to talk about my model building work space. Or rather, the lack thereof. I haven't got much,...
Two steps forward and one step back. The 9v battery which powers my lights drains down very quickly to goose egg, even when the lights are...
All lit up now... The on-off switch is located at the forward bulkhead of the (soon to be) bench seat pan on the passenger's side. Here's the...
Take heart @BuckeyeBuicks, the learning is in the doing. Fear is the mind killer, so just dive in and give it a go. I've become a decent...
Wow, beautiful work @Acres! Diggin' em both... Keep us updated on your Lincoln-Willys mash-up!
Made some progress this weekend. The shifter is now in place. It activates the flathead straight six sound card when pushed forward. I also...
@quick85, Well said. Couldn't agree more.
Looks like the modern wheel police have been on the job again. This standard isn’t always applied consistently. Just yesterday, I saw a photo in a...
@rudestude, do you happen to know what was used for the carpet finish/material on the Ambassador? All very nicely done... David
@rudestude, you’re right about fiber optics. The LED headlight and tail light kit I bought is meant for an RC car, and came with some fiber optic...
I got the sound equipment installed today. It actually sounds a bit more realistic now that it's in place. See and listen to it here....
@41 coupe, Very nice, dig 'em all. Especially the Grand Sport & the E-Type coupe. I have a 1/8th scale E-Type coupe kit that I'm converting to...
The most obvious thing I can see that's wrong is... it's not mine. Ha! Stellar work...
Wow! Just plain wow!!!
Merry Christmas to me... While not really a hot rod, it is a heavily modified 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor. Who you gonna call? When offered at...
Gorgeous work Mike, as always! Merry Christmas from the USA...
Wow, this is really nasty rudestude. But in a good way. Really thought it was a 1:1 car until I read your post. Very nice, err nasty...
I dig your baking soda idea @rudestude. I’m going to try it for the mist on my body & frame, and maybe a bit on my sidewalls too.
