Art & Inspiration The Art of the Model Car Decal

Love it, I have one of those boxes!

 

You know if it wasn't models, it was hot wheels if it wasn't that , it was slot cars ,if it wasn't that it was making bicycles go faster. then slots again. then real cars The go carts, .Hell no wonder i cant grow up.

 

Here ya go:

 

I got into a fight with my brother Charlie. Had a decal sheet that had the driver's name of "Chuck Farley" so I rearranged a few letters.

 

So many good decals! Two of my favorites are the Astro Wheels, and the Chrondek timer decals.

 

But....how was the CB Radio game?

 

Never saw one like this before, really cool!

 

I have one of these Chevies I built in the 70's.

Round 2 models is reissuing a lot of old AMT and MPC kits with brand new vintage decals. Here is the decal sheet from their recent 37 Chevy coupe release..., and my build up of it. View attachment 5286877 View attachment 5286878

I just watched Teenage Thunder.......... definitely flashbacks of the problems of our troubled parents trying to connect to their hoodlum, unappreciative son.
I won’t spoil the unbelievable ending........
Oh BTW the “rods” are cool.

 

Reminds me of building model cars as a kid. I ran into a bunch of early models from the 50’s at a yard sale. Funny thing was, all the early Ford kits like the ‘32, A and T were made of black plastic, with red wheels. Looks like proof to me that combination is traditional, may be out of fashion now, but they didn’t pick that color for nothing.

 

What is this amazing badge?

 

Great post. Thanks.

 

A couple models that my uncle built in the early 60's ,and gave them to me years later. { Cool Decals }

 

This very cool badge-medallion is from a line of cast iron wood burning stoves, the one I posted was given to me a couple of months ago, from a good friend, that had found it at a swap meet-flea market, 30 years ago! It's really a nice piece, it's a high quality art-deco piece with cloisonné inlay as well!

 

my older cousin broke the news to me:

"you don't have to use every decal on the sheet"
