Love to build large scale models just do not have time cause i have to earn a living. i have over 400 hours in this one called the Kosmic Kreep, found some shots of the build. its a 1/8 scale kit featuring a Norm Grabowski skull shift knob and a lot of fun fabrication. Loved model building as a kid and still do, You guys build some great models and I really enjoy checking them out.... its turning into a lost art, what a shame!

 

Cool Willys. What kind of printer did you use for the decal film? I bought an Alps a few years ago, and haven't had the time to get familiar with it. One day I'll get to some of these projects.

 

Thanks Gasser Girl. Please forward on. I would love for them to see it.

 

posted this one before 1/8 scale 32 flattie drag car, wish I could build the real thing!

 

Some older 1/24 scale stuff

 

Sonny:

Those 1/8 models are incredible. Your paint work is amazing as well. Very cool.

 

Done.

 

Willys, that's just a $45 HP inkjet printer. I open a MSPaint to about 2200X1800 pixels and do the lettering I need, frequently printing the sheet in 5X7 to check for fit and clarity. My sheet looks like this:



The limitations of the film mean you either have to have a light colored car or a white background for the decals. I've been getting around that by using the white film and doing my decals after tinting the MSPaint page close to the final body color of the car. I then will trim as close as possible the body color on the decal and still have a nice white graphic.

 

Yes, it is out. I picked one up this morning.

 

Cool!!

 

here is one i found as ive been going though my dads stuff after he passed away a few months ago... its been in his collection as long as i can remember. i was born in oct of 1969!

 

I have that one also buried somewhere?? Mine came with a reciept from 1966 for the price 6.99 + tax... I think the reciept is from Woolworth's
Do you have the instruction manual for it??

 

yes i do... its kinda like a magazine almost

 

Yep! it should have the instructions on how to add a parts pack blower kit from the Monogram "BiG DrAg" kit and also the Torq-Thrust mags and M&H Racemaster slicks ...

 

i will post some pics of some of the ones he build 30+ years ago a little later this week ... if i can time to get to them.

 

Cool!!! I'd love to see those... Thanks!

 

Here is one of my dad's builds at an nnl show

 

Sonny I love seeing your stuff. A lot of great models this week.
