Sunday Models 6/30/13

Just a few stuff this week is that I am ready to paint my Holden grey engine dragster with Boyds pearl pink spray paint, I also finished my 29 Ford roadster pickup,converted to right hand side steering. And I am building one of my all time favourite model cars which is the black 32 Ford Coupe as shown. And a super stock Chevy Drag car build.

 

That Holden dragster looks great. Here an update of my '57 Ford Gasser

 

Just finished the Coupester from the More American Grafitti kit.Darrell

 

Dam nice work mate


Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

Finished this one up a few weeks ago. It started from the AMT Double-T kit with lots of scratch built parts to create a tow truck.

Durn!! Can we see a few close ups of the upholstery on that seat? Pretty tough looking seat!

 

This Ford f100 panelvan will need a full rebuild later on down the track.

 

Here are a couple of pics of one still in the build process.

 

Thank you for kicking off again nerd. Good show.
Maybe its just an old man's eyes, but something about the black 32 has me buggered. Looks terrific, but.... is it AMT, Revell or Monogram? Something about the windows or roof or I am just plain nuts (which is a distinct possibility) Any more pics please?
Cheers
Rod

 

This is why I love spending Sunday mornings on the H.A.M.B.... Nice one this week fellas!!!..

 

Man you Australian guys are really starting this Sunday off to a great start. Great job you mate's.

 

Here's a kustom painted 1/87 scale 51 buick vert. Painted with a Gold mettle flake Purple top half with a Green mettle flake bottom with a black base coat going down the meddle of the hood.
Topped off with BMF for the trim and window frame.
Also 50's style mettle flake seats. Rear tire cover is rwaped with a white mettle flake cover. Also has clear mettle flake bullet tips in the front and rear bumpers.

The black 32 Ford in the photo is what Spoggie built here on the Hamb back in the day. From memory he said it was the Monogram little deuce, but to me it looks like it has a custom built roof.

 

I'm sitting here wondering if this is it???...
Was this kit designed around Swamp Rat 10???...
Still waiting for Round 2 or should I say AMT/MPC to release this kit again... I first built this kit in 1971 when I was 11 years old...(What a Freakin' glue bomb..) It was my first model kit... I haven't seen it since...

 

Busy week.
This is all I've got for today.

 

Here are some photos of the black 32 Ford coupe as seen in the photo, matched up with the Revell 32 Ford coupe body and the Monogram little deuce kit.

 

I don't recall if I posted photos from the Street Rod Nats East model contest from June 2. I apologize if you've already seen these.

 

Great pics Lyle.

 

That's a damn nice looking Fury, what scale is that?

Doc.

 

Hobbyboss 1/48th!Thanks!

 

That's cool! What are the wheel covers?

 

Great looking models this week as always. You guys amaze me with those little cars you build.

 

halfasscustoms: your work on those tiny 1/87 models is really good!

 

I have been spending most of my time on this '32 recently. Yes that is a crazy flaked frame...


Here is a '49 Merc I started shaving the drip rail to. Going to be a really simple build...

Here is something a little off topic, but it will have kustom mods

 

Lots of cool stuff as usual this week. The show pics from Lyle are always a treat and I really dig the hyper detailed T pickup build from Alyn ... and that tiny Buick is The Nutz!!!

Here's the latest off my bench, just finished this morning. A 60's style Hemi powered Junior Fueler (pretend it's a DeSoto...) based on the old MPC Ramchargers dragster kit. Hope you dig it...
