More done on the case today, water piping and lighting finished. I'm still playing around with the frame color but I think flat black would be best.

What did you see on the road today?

I checked out their website. Pretty cool little campers. A lot more basic than those campers that are well into the 6 figures. And I like the more basic approach. They still look quite nice, and I wouldn't be afraid to get a little dirt in them. I also find it interesting that they appear to be using the same LED light on the back that I have bolted to my fence in the backyard! -
Awesome work…

Thank you Jay! It certainly was fun to build. CT -
"Movie" was pretty much synonymous with "drive in" when I was a little feller.

I have 74 new 2025 Ford Econoline chassis that were shipped today. Now en route to a couple of body builders in the US to get turned into shuttle buses. Which means I have four very happy clients that will be getting 74 shiny new bills of sale over the next couple of weeks. Going to be a good spring!

1973 Porsche 917/10 Can Am

I built that kit a few years ago. It was a bit misaligned for sure. I am sure you will do a great job at this, and am watching the build. I think I will take a look at my model and see how bad it really is -
Ah yes. Few things in life as much fun as cleaning up after morons, especially crooked morons.

Wow. This is an awesome build. Great casting and fab skills…

I just saw the episode featuring the 56. That's what gave me idea because I knew I had the 56 I got at Ollie's. I also have the Nomad. I'm not going to try and replicate their 56, I just want to try my hand at weathering a body and interior. I have weathered a chassis before, but that was just dirt and grime.

Hi! In september of 2015, super band Metallica made rock history in Quebec city: they performed the last concert in the old Coliseum, and the following night, the very first concert in a new venue: Centre Videotron. That event was even included in the plot of Showtime's BILLION series. I was completing the construction of this Pro Mod, heavily scratchbuilt from a glue-bomb AMC 1970 Hornet body, mashed with Revell's Jukebox 56 Ford, and I could not come up with a satisfactory paint scheme that would make the car (very squarish and boxy) look somehow "racy". Then, I figured I might as well create something unusual. I remembered the Superman movie franchise was advertised on some prostock racecar a few years ago, and I figured Metallica might choose to promote its historic event all over the eastern seaboard with a car of its own! James Hetfield is a certified car nut, so... Take a rejuvenated Johan 70 Hornet body, cut at the cowl, with scratchbuilt: air dam, rear wing, dash, windows, air intake, blower containment system, gas tank, parachute pack, battery box, magneto, brakes and hoses, fuel lines, etc. The 56 Ford chassis was extended 8 mm. Tamya's pearl white and italian red + acrylic red marble effect + home-made decals + Mr Hobby's Top coat clear, fully polished. Revell's spray chrome on chassis tin, rear wing and air horn & ancilary stuff. Hours of fun with styrene. Rock on! CT

Thanks, guys!

Bob, I think this creative build looks pretty awesome! Just remember three things; 1) we are always our own worst critic, 2) the pictures we post are four times the size of the real thing, and 3) most of the folks looking at them cannot see worth a darn anyway!

Gotta make room. Looking good so far…

Got a pic of my Jeep, Mustang and Caddy together. Hopefully have my other Mustang back on the road this year.

Like the engine and suspension detail…

Saw this the other day, noticed they are from Alaska! Looks like a cool camper, never saw one before. -

Great build so far. I really like the traction bars… -
Nice job, the engine detail looks great.

1/12 Tamiya Williams FW14B
steveracer replied to okazaki0511's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Nice, I am building this model, but not to your level of detail. Keep showing your work, I enjoy it! Also, I have used that yellow Tamiya tape. It leaves a residue on painted surfaces and distorts the clear or paint. Do you have the same problem?
