Joe R.'s Achievements

MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. AMT 1/25 scale Mild custom body with parts box headlights and taillights. Kit-bashed and scratch-built racing motor. Vintage MH Drag slicks and Armstrong front tires. Revell Parts Pak racing wheels. Vintage traction bars.
  2. Nice job on that. I've never seen one built. I recieved, about a year ago from a friend, this reissue and an original Mark I? version with the aluminum cockpit. I did a little research initially, and they have an interesting history and the cars are cool too. They're both close to the top of my project pile, I might have to dig through the boxes tonight.
  3. An instant favorite. Nice work.
  4. MPC 1/25 scale Re-issued under MPC Can Am. Painted using Tamiya paints and the Tamiya Weathering Master kit. The only turbojet powered race car to place 1st place. The engine generated 57,500 rpm.
  5. Sometimes little projects like this makes my day and inspires me.Great work on your little break-away project.

    Geez.Incredible! I think I'll give up models and start knitting instead. Wow. Working universal joints....
  7. We had 1:1 muscle car / 4x4 conversions running all over San Jose during the '80s. A shop called Bull Shift built a '69 'Cuda 4x4. Maybe the shop was run out of town since it's no longer around.
  8. I'm sticking with real. With the tires exposed like that,could anyone replicate that tire scrub surface? I've seen 1:1 concept car and production car photos taken in this angle,to show off items like all glass roofs,aerodynamics and such. Here's an example... Oh,and thanks for correcting me on that 1/3rd scale Ferrari. That is an awesome little car.
  9. I didn't want to go for aftermarket custom off-road wheels and there's not much out there when it comes to production style off-road wheels and trucks. Since the H2 style wheels first showed at concept car shows between 2000 and 2001,I figured I can use these wheels for a 2001 Cadillac SUV concept. I might find a set of new wheels that will fit these tires.
  10. Wow! I always wanted this car! I'll be watching this one.
  11. It's the real thing. If this is a model, then I have a new model building hero.Proper and even body panel thickness.Tight door panel lines. Tire lettering scuffing at the right places.The interior is well done for a model.The window net would also be a neat trick if this was a model. Tamiya couldn't get to this level. But there is that 1/9th scale Ferrari with the working motor so it could be a model but I'll stick to real.
  12. Wow! wow... That is way off the cool meter!
  13. Monogram 1/24 scale. A rare kit of the High Roller 4x4 series. Issued 1981. Tamiya Bright Red. Supercharged 454 big block with puller exhaust.
  14. Here's a simple little side project. I'm building an off-road version of the Escalade. Nothing radical here.I'm going to build a show-room concept. I lifted the suspension with spacers and added H3 tires and wheels. This is a curbside kit with good chassis detail. The color is undecided but this SUV won't be bling bling. Thanks for looking.
