crazyrichard Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) hi all , this build started out with a revell kit of the john buttera model t touring i used the parts and made a t-bucket body out of the touring body , in the end the new body was made out of 8 pieces and a lot of shaping a lot of scrath work on the details , the idea was to end up with a shiney rod but looking like its used and abused without becoming ratty ... the build thread > http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68853 the end pictures this pic shows the "brass" / gold firewall nicely , its bmf i love this shot and how it makes the red paint light up and even creates some orange due to the sun on the aircleaner i used cloth electrical tape on the side on to the next build Edited January 25, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've got one of these kits that I've never opened knowing how other bodiesin the series are so badly undersized. This could get me to bust open the plastic on it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
