Hot Rods *****Model Car Sunday*****.... 1-29-2012.....

Anyone got something new er old to post???....
AMT has a new kit out... A 1951 Chevy Fleetline kit in 1/25 scale.. Anyone got their hands on one yet???...

 

Haven't built in years. Here's the last thing I was working on.



...and an older Fleetline build.

 

Not to hijack, but what glue to use with polystyrene? Thanks.

 

Testors...... In the orange and white tube....
This stuff has been around for years..

 

The RPU just needs interior and paint-can't decide on color, and a revisit of last month's '40.

 

I bought a new kit last week at local hardware store.... Revell's new '62 Chevy kit...
And here's one of Revell's '50 Ford Custom pickup kit that I bought over a dozen years ago and just opened it up... There's a newer version of the '50 Ford Pickup out on the shelves if your looking to buy one....

 

Current project:

 

Here's one I just finished this week, Revell `32 5-window Channelled, model A rear cross member and posable front axle, parts box small block Chevy with 3 dueces, and various other resin and kit bash parts, Modelhaus tires and AMT `58 Chevy stock hub caps.

 

wow ! badass Linc

 

This is what I'm working on today, for the resin 96hr build thread on TRaK.

 

To "1950Merc": I myself have only used superglue w/my styrene crafts for the last 10 yrs or so, the more liquid the composition, the more precise an application it affords. Quick curing-time is a huge plus also.

"Tweed Deluxe": I like Your ´57 Buick! The style of car, the color, the stance, everything! Where did You source such a good-looking set of chrome reverses and wide whites for it, if You don´t mind me asking?

 

Dueces, I have this kit, also.
And here is the goal for it.
I have built, driven, raced, and shown the goal car.

 

Mo, you need to finish that Lincoln custom! That "Darrin-dip" in the doors looks great! Jim C, good start on the pickup (what're the wheelcovers in the last shot?) RC57, cool builds! DakotaJohn, the Deuce is awesome! Tweed, love that Buick!

Nothing new from here. Working on the interior for my AMT '59 T-bird.

Meanwhile, here's some inspiration for the upcoming Deuce Build-Off...


AMT Trophy-series kits....










Monogram 1/24.....




AMT Trophy-series 5w, in progress....

 

Custom 1959 Chevy Impala

Filled in the back seats, with styrene and putty, scratch made bubble skirts, added bucket seats, custom steering wheel, puttied a "cobra snake" into the scratch made console( a reference to an Elden Titus build), added a few bits of detail here and there.

 

This is what I am working on well I sit in a motel room

 

Mo nice work...

 

froghawk, those are the kit wheels and wheel covers.

 

Very nice work!!!!

 

nice love the last one the best

 

Make that the last 3

 

JerryG, nice Impala.
You just reminded me that I had not posted mine when completed. Not really proud of the build, but it is nearly like the one I used to have in 1960.
Here it is as it is.

 

Looks good JimC

 

I could do up something like that... I've got the "parts box" wheels and tires for it also...

 

Now that's freakin' BEAUTIFUL!!!
