Sunday model car cruise...

Well, according to board's clock it's Sunday.

This is the Stuart Little car from the first movie that I just re-customized to be used as a trophy for the "Cruise Night" theme award winner at the model car show I'm producung here in Ventura next weekend.

Lil' Stuey was fiven more attitude with a biker jacket, severe pomp and a pair of 'chops.

Only problem is that now that I lowered it, it doesn't runn too good on cut-pile carpet.


If you're in the area, come up and visit us on Saturday. Info here:http://www.goldcoastnnl.com

 

Some stuff I through together in the last couple of days.....

 

I started converting another 1:8 Lindberg T - this one has the Monogram flathead, narrowed frame and body, spoke wheels and tall bias blackwalls. Just a lakes/track modified in the '40s vein. Not together enough for pics yet, but here are some of my older builds:

Here is a survivor from the showrod era. I had enough of these to cover a kitchen table at once. Sadly I only kept about a dozen.

This one is brush painted. From the looks of it, the Uncertain - T must have been a big influence.

The background is something I drew up, printed out, and assembled on foam core.

 

Awesome work guys.I'm working on a 53 vette model.How do you guys chop tops on your models?What size x acto blade should I use?Do hobby stores sell platic sheeting you can form into new body panels?

 

Got a little bit done this week. Painted the 40 but needs to be redone, body just doesnt look right. My brother gave me an Australian "EK" Holden to build, i finished it a while ago but was never happy with it, Im half way through making a tube chassis, as the kit has just a flat plastic undercarrage. The kit costs like 70 dollars and is scaled poorly. Also a couple more pics of the greasermobile

 

You guy's got me diggin this mdoel thing. Here's a impala that was a lowrider magazine metal kit. The other is a 57 300C I started on. I flaked the roof so far.
