I like the cooler in the back of the RPU!

 

I like the board in the back of yours. Any more pictures of the wagon please?

What he said...Is this one of those Jimmy Flintstone resin bodies?

 

Good morning fellas. I figured out what to do with the spare RPU parts from my woody kit, got the wagon kit on clearance for a donor. I need to lengthen the frame and such but here's a rough idea where it's going.I started the woody about 15 years ago, it's got real wood in it and it's getting a set of '34 style V8 wires.

 

Got a little more done on the Nomad this weekend

 

what scale is the Nomad? It looks HUGE next to the other cars in the pics.

 

Here are a couple pics of my '55 Corvette that was in our recent Salt Flats Build-Off. Its running a 283 with a Latham blower & is set up for the Sports Racing class (B/SR).

 

Oh, here's a link to the contest if some of y'all missed it:

Built this many years ago,,,,BEFORE Revell did a '37 coupe. It's a HIGHLY reworked resin body. Before there were rat rods, there were beaters!

 

^ That's nice.

I finished this recently, first one in years.







This '32 is nearing completion.

 

love the beater Willits.

 

I, too, like the beater.
Looks like one the neighbor would drive to work.
The difference to one driven to work and a beater driven to the Malt shop is a wash job and the white walls would have to shine.
The one driven to the malt shop would not have had the gas stains.
Fifty cents of gas at a time dont make stains.

I remember buying cars looking in this condition for $50.. to $75.00 and spending that much again on the spinners and Porter walls.
Good job Lyle!!!!!

 

I really enjoy this Sunday Models thread. I have a tremor that prevents me from building models anymore. You guys build some really nice ones.

 

Not a model but an antique toy I saved Had a big hole in it on the side

 

the nomads a 1:24 scale

 

Here's a '61 Impala I just painted, probably to be used on a 1/25th slot car.

 

Not many use the prizmatic style paint.
Nice execution of colors!

 

Damn that is soo well done! perfect details and weathering.

 

John, I grew up with a blue one of those- nice little rubber mold, isn't it?!

 

I had not thought about the rubber toy cars in 60 years, but here is one left from days gone by.I do not have a clue how to restore or paint it.
The rubber is hard and brittle.

 

Don't touch it. It's fine the way it is.

 

Thanx. That's the airbrush paint that I use on everything from car murals, guitars, leather and fabric. I really like the colors.

 

a little more done on the nomad

 

Nice job!

 

Great work guys!

46stude, the 'vette really looks great. Love the detail, thanks for the extra snaps!

 

Lyle, the '37 coupe looks great. We called them beaters too...

 

Here's an old one I have to finish.
