doomcrew Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The Rambler is now done. I decided to do a little patina here and there, a little worn paint, weathering on the underside and mechanicals. I turned a Moon tank on my lathe, but did it in four parts. The centre section is ally tube, this makes it easier to drill into by hand. The ends could be then machined and designed to just press fit into place, then comes the cap with the spout combined. The strapping was made out of photo etched brass strip. The head lights were also turned, with photo etch mesh for the grill, this shows off the radiator, and you can see all the way through to the front of the engine. The hood pins are from the Revell Dodge Daytona kit.
