bit hmmmzz theme (bit overdone maybe?) but i always liked the grey / red / white wall combination and never did it on a model , so this was the perfect one to do it

yea I just posted about that in the obscure kits thread.. yea watch out for the painful small parts that brake easy on the suspension.. yea even as a little kid I remember that thing. I always thought ( as did my grand father ) it was more like 1:27 scale. I still have sealed the LIL John's delivery ( only thing diff was it had a 5 window sedan body with optional panel covers for the back side windows ) I build-ed both when I was young with granddad. and later the kit I have now is a ebay buy.

aah cool thnx !!

well not afraid for the small parts , i even dont know if i will build it straight out of the box , i may do some alterations :)

thnx guys

and yes i kind of changed the idea into making a trailer / gooseneck fo it later on so i can put 2 cars on that..

also i will ad a bar to the racer and extend the push bar so the truck can pushstart the racer

this is just one of those no plans builds and i just build and see where i end up :)

extended the pushbar , the idea is to build the trailer and when it is on the saltflats the truck itself can act as a pushstarter..

made the bar out of a vw beetle piece and a piece of a citroen 2cv bumper (lol)

75216_225649144234670_1865413716_n.jpg

sanded the wood , this will get some semi clear on it later so it comes more to life

533536_225649097568008_1483268901_n.jpg

pushstart idea , now i can make a bar on the rear of the racer

12561_225649197567998_1184320899_n.jpg

very rough start of more woodwork and the toolbox with lock will sit under there , one on eitch side

12244_225649180901333_1704649864_n.jpg

something like this only against the runing boards

522492_225649194234665_1734979456_n.jpg

painted the wooden floor black , waighting untill its dry and i can sand that as well

45168_225649224234662_2144369388_n.jpg

pushbar painted chrome

sanded the wood after the black paint *acrylic*

68099_225755824224002_652551352_n.jpg

then added some layers of clear to bring the wood to life due to the dark evening pics with artificial light it looks way more dark and red as irl

tomorrow i wil sand it a tad with superfine paper so the gloss is a tad less and i will make some better pics when there is still daylight

update >

on one side there will be 2 toolboxes with locks , those are drying now , just painted them

on the other side i have build a fueltank , from a old fueltank top with scrathed bottom and a step from the partsbox ..

need to be painted just a dryfit its loose under there

:lol: to weather the spare wheel

532404_226132840852967_2113800374_n.jpg

252387_226132854186299_594259296_n.jpg

especially on this pic you see its more massive and wide and filled now

312704_226132907519627_2008305387_n.jpg

and a good shot of the woodwork , wich i sanded again after clear to tone down the gloss and redness due to the clear

the pics dont do it justice due to the dark evening shots irl its nicer imo

i hope to make some sharper daylight pics soon

thnx , still looking for a really cheap donor trailer ..

made some better pics , the toolboxes with locks on the other side , all loose under there so the position will be different

282457_226552164144368_362044729_n.jpg

this is loose on the table and needs to come under teh wood floor bnut taken to show the third slightly different tool box , i could make that under the 2 boxes or use it somewhere else

563604_226552140811037_1076840617_n.jpg

painted gastank , i wanted to paint the step on the side of it chrome after this black coat , now i'm thinking of keeping it just black , the way the light hits it is just great

480371_226552137477704_1193696269_n.jpg

a brome , need a brown stem en the hairs in like beige ..

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome work!!!!!!!

haha thnx man !!!!

for years i have been doing automotive renderings and maybe some know about autemo , i'm an artist there ..

but since a year or half a year i have not done anything .. the modelcar hobby is just more statisfying , something you can really hold and rotate irl and hands on beats virtual stuff anytime ..

but when i looked at one of the last posted pics i got an idea , the shot was taken on a blanc painters canvas and using fotoshop i (done quick) made the visible part of my living room white also , removed the green light fall and added just a simple filter

this filter erases noise in the pic , sharpens details and at the same time makes it kind of more blurred and soft almost to the painted look

so i didnt alter anything on my model just a all white backdrop and a filter ..

if i would make real good shots especially to do this stuff the results could be way better , this was just done in 5 minutes because i got the idea
