Sunday models, 10/24

From the MAMA meeting, last week.















This is how we feed our plastic addiction.

 

Not really traditional but it is a nod to Ed 'Big Daddy" Roth. Hey it kinda has a bubble-top. I started with a Piper Super Cub Airplane kit and a '40 Ford Delivery Sedan kit and a Boat trailer. Parts box supplied engine, wheels, chassis, guns from the Red Baron and some Roth and Fink figures.

The plane and Sedan got rivets on tops and sides, home-made decals(note the Mickey Mouse Kill Icons), added a plane hood ornament.

The Sedan has the Piper airplane nose added to the front with the propeller as a bumper. Band-aid used as exhaust wrap.

A fun, quick, build. Paint is Testors Sub lime green.

 

cool

 

Now that works.

 

Thanks for the pics. I always look forward to your posts on Sunday! Good Stuff!!!!

 

cool stuff

 

It's gonna get up to 70 degrees today... Great fer shootin' primer on a body... I made a home made rotating table for the cheap spray booth.... That way I can spray the whole body without disturbing the way the body is propped up... The spray booth is a 32" TV shipping box that someone threw out (free) with a 48" long floresent light fixture on top.. about 7 bucks there... The air compressor is a 2 gallon deal that I bought new for 44 bucks... The regulator was about 9 bucks.. The air-brush kit probably 22 bucks... A 12" window fan, another 10 bucks... This whole setup was less than 100 bucks once completed...

 

Does any buddy know anyone that buys big lots of old models?A friend past away 2 years ago and his wife is ready to start cleaning out all the stuff.There are cars, airplanes,i think boats too.He also has tons of car magazines.We have not done a count of the models or magazines yet.
She dose not want to sale these one at a time.PM me if you know anyone.Thanks
