Apparently there weren't many belly tanks with Hemi engines, but one was summarized as follows: "The tank, nicknamed "Salty Shaker," held many...
Hey @Lucius Molchany , I'm definitely leaning towards red scallops, but weathered and beat up a bit. Not likely over white, but instead over what...
@Lucius Molchany , I have no idea what those wheels are on this belly tank. It's just visual guesswork on my part as to what looks right.
Apparently I've been out of the email notification loop for a while. Nice work fellers! I had a couple spare hours this morning, so I made a...
Big step forward this weekend... I got the fiberglass laid up on the bucks, pulled the parts, and rough cut/sanded the flanges. I haven't done...
Belly tank shells (top & bottom) coming to life. At 1/5 scale my drop tank will be about 31" long. The last slide shows the PVA mold release on...
Hemi build pics: The first slide shows the 1/6 scale 426 die cast Hemi I bought, then the next slide is an inspiration pic of an early Hem that...
And so it began... My idea to build a larger scale belly tank salt flat racer started with an ordinary chore, cleaning up my back yard. I had an...
Got it. Thought I was logged in, but I wasn't. A little rusty in the Matrix known as the H.A.M.B. Ha!

It's been at least an F-1 Trillion since I've posted here, but I've been busy... I finally finished my (circa 1954) scratch-built 1925 Dodgy...
@Rand Man, I dare say many of us have attention span challenges, me included for sure. If your goal isn't to finish by a certain date but to...
@41 coupe, Go big, or go home! Love the big scale stuff. Nicely done!
@abc123, Dig your style and your model. Very nicely done! Perhaps a bit OT, but speaking of breeze blocks... I just bought 1/1 scale breeze...
Thanks very much @mchook. Very informative indeed... We could all learn (in my case more than) a thing or two from mchook, SMWK (Scale Model...
Wow! Beautifully done John!
@mchook, you're the king of rust/weathering. Awesome!
Fellers, It's been quite awhile since I posted an update on the 1925 Dodgy underslung, as I've been racing to get my garden railroad as complete...
Regarding them louvers fellers... I used small (about 3/32" radius) quarter round styrene to make mine. At 1/12 scale (which my model is), this...
Rides kinda high, eh? Otherwise I'd fly to NZ and pick 'er up. :)
Don’t be too sorry @rudestude. It was just a period correct Nixon campaign bumper sticker. My dad was a staunch Nixon supporter right up to (and...
Wow, just spectacular!
Badass!
@41 coupe, Did your recently posted pics get deleted? Got the email notification from the HAMB, but nothing here to see. Maybe Barney’s back...
In other modeling news... I did mange to get the steering wheel (now a steering yoke) put together, after all. Keeping with the Army (Air...
I don't think so John. He's a 1:12 bust resin casting I bought on eBay. He came with an antique rifle strapped to his back, and a very long...
Dig it!
A bit more progress to report... Yesterday, I got the Army Surplus "Canvas" covered seats completed, along with a matching upholstered edge at...
Beautiful job @tinsled. While we’re on the subject of old trucks, my absolute favorite is the ‘58 to ‘60 F-100 (quad headlight). A close second...
Very cool. I too remember when stock car racing required actual stock cars.
