Art & Inspiration Sunday Models 8-7-2011

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by wojojo, Aug 7, 2011.

  1. Looks like no one started a model thread this week so here goes. Have been working on a couple of non-H.A.M.B.friendly models lately. Other than that I am now done weathering the '39 Chevy, got to the point where it's looking overworked in a couple areas. Just need to find the headlight lenses and gas cap in my junk box and it's done.
    Picked up a pair of built '40 Fords as part of a ebay lot a while back. Both are glue bombs but have potential, especially the coupe. Guess I'll be starting to rebuild them next.

    Looks good to me wojojo!

    Here's one i got in the Model build off. I call it "Berg in Deuce" Here's a link to the build off. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=23153
    It is a Duecenberg frame and straight 8 engine. I cut the top off 32 Deuce coupe, but will keep it for a removable top. The grill is a cut down cell phone charger! :D

    Before the top came off!

    I saw these on facebook. It was built by Anthony Garcia, famous lowrider model builder. I thought this was to good to pass up showing...

    i hate to fuss, but those '40's look like somebody took their time on them.... kinda nice for "glue bombs"... just saying.
     
  10. You're right. Somebody did take the time to build them decently. They just used way more glue than needed. I actually broke the running boards on the green sedan trying to get them separated from the body.
