Model car Sunday 12/30/12

Incredible variety and quality despite/because of the huge quantity. What a feast. and so many of my fave builders so well represented!!! Thanx to everyone so far.

Here’s my “Class of 2012”, 9 in all in a year where I started a lot more but got a lot fewer done…. I had two waiting on the bench for completion when I cruised into the holiday season, ran headlong into a little too much good cheer, and caught a nasty head cold. Oh well, now they’re on my NNL West 2013 list. I hope to see some of you there.

All my very best to you all for the New Year and, as always, thanx for lookin’,
B.

a year of nice work all I can say is WOW

 

Very nice work everybody. SteveB those are some sweet customs. I would like to see a real version of that "Crazy Edsel", something Ed Roth would do(?)

 

Hi every one, this is a diaroma of the Barris Kustom city that we did for a model car show.There is a thread about it and the journey we took to building it. Here it is all finished up. And have a Happy new year everyone.

 

Wow. great thread, I wished my models turned out half as well as these are....cool

 

Not mine.

 

I have put model cars and planes together for over 60 years and NEVEr got close to some of these.
These are intimidating, to say the least.
I look for inspiration and motivation, but!

OH HAY JUST FOUND A PIC OF THAT CAR......Bout time.

 

Geeze.....after lookin' at these works of art....mine looks like shit....LOL

Great work guys....'ya keep raisin' the bar.......4 feet a a time...LMAO!

 

OK my last post for the yr om this thread. Going to show the WILD paint jobs out there that I just LOVE.

 

OK Im done.........Happy New Year H.A.M.B

 

Cool stuff, thanks for all the pictures guys!

In 2013 I need to get my act together....I kind of gave up in 2012. Did a few things here and there but never got my necessary paint booth built. No paint booth, no painting, no modeling being done.

 

Although a paint booth is a great aid in achieving high quality coatings, some of my best finishes have occurred on top of a trash can.

And, halfassedcustoms, much KUDOS to your posts of very high quality model show(s)
Thanks...

 

That merc 4-door is something I have been looking for for ever! Was that a kit or is it a scratch built car? I have started scratch building one but there are some areas that are really hard to get right and that one with the opening doors is really awesome! Jim

 

I would like to get my hands on an Older Cadillac kit.

 

That 4 door was made that way from a reg 2 door kit. Hescratch built the post between the 2 doors and then hinged them.

 

awesome presentation of some fine models,thanks for posting.bring on the New Year

 

Hep New Year!

 

Steve the bike and truck are killer man!!!!

Happy New Year everyone.

This was a show for the century!!!

 

Been wanting another 57 ranchero BUT this looks cool and I know where a buick is sitting

 

HNY Jigger!
That HiPo 289 bucket... OMG..
