@Deuces I dislike that you post one model after the other, from MCM. I used to show my cars there, too. At least have the decency, to offer at...
Now we're cooking....very nice.
Hello guys, it's been a while since I've visited and commented. We all know, sometimes life takes a surprise, sharp turn, and we need some time...
Yes, I would recognize the last car anywhere! A scratch built dream. Great to see you here. Mike..
Wow! I can for sure, relate to this photo. Nothing like checking out the new kits, great times!
A fine collection!
Excellent! Love seeing a stock drag car, the way they were. I feel, the front bumper and grill on your model is a tad too large, but you didn't...
This one is on schedule for the paint shop fairly soon. A 1:16 nasty Fiat. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Guys, just like to show cars done in 2021. A good modeling year. First introduced to the larger, 1:16 scale..no looking back now. 2 vintage FED...
Merry Christmas, Terry!
Ha! Yep, I know that photo. Wouldn't mind giving it a try, just the wife might not like the mess and oil everywhere. lol Interesting story,...
Merry Christmas guys! This one is scheduled to be finished in January. Mike.. [ATTACH]
Thanks very much guys for viewing and liking, time to move on. Keep building and collecting and above all, bash the heck out of them! It's been...
I had it on upside down at first, but thought it might catch more bugs like it is now. I think one just landed. You're quite welcome.
Guys, I'd like to finish up what's been done so far. Been 4 weeks now, still no decals, even though the paper printouts have been placed, some...
PACERS....body is finished and in the paint shop. Chassis has gotten glossy black, so lets build a race car! The real car has lots of chrome,...
@Moonglow, beautiful work on the cool roadster! That era car makes for wonderful scratch built models, this is for sure a great representative....
...dragster....sorry, I thought you meant a recent rail job. This fuel altered car is 1:16. Larger scale is out of the question, my opinion,...
@rudestude , Terry, serious parts box there.
Further with the body....The trunk. First the side panels, [ATTACH] Two placed together to make sure they match... [ATTACH] Right side, tape...
Thanks David, appreciated. Which brass dragster do you mean? Some are 1:25, the later ones are 1:16, only building 1:16 for the future. Mike..
Hi Terry, well first off, thin cardboard templates were cut to size, cereal box variety. Then the sized up strips of brass cut off the larger...
UPDATE: All sub-assemblies are completed, so it's time for the body. Oh boy! I like using 0.25 mm brass sheet. Not too thick, bendable yet...
Appreciated! Mike..
Hi Terry, I'd like to get the project up to date, so the body pics tomorrow. Mike..
Two months since the last update, sorry guys for this, no excuse! All is well, needless to mention then, this car is quite a bit further on now....
PACERS, a few new motor shots. Fuel delivery and some detailing up front. Fuel nozzle block done, will be painted black later on; [ATTACH]...
PACERS Fuel Altered update. The agenda this week has been the blower injection. Found several ways to get this done but couldn't decide. Slept...
Concerning lights for a shop/garage diorama, you might consider model railroading as a source also. Probably pricey though, but they do have...
PACERS Fuel Altered, some motor progress. This is a 3d printed 392 kit from a FB trio, excellent, smooth parts. The motor width, valve cover to...
