tim boyd Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) In celebration of Revell's new Model A Roadster kit, and in response to several spontaneous threads of builders posting their own kitbashed Model A Hot Rods, I finally got busy yesterday and did some high-quality salon photography of my own fenderless Model A Hot Rod models. When I was done, there were 15 models and about 170 pictures. I've posted the album here. http://public.fotki.com/funman1712/from-the-pages-of-y/all-my-fenderless-m/ There's a quick portfolio overview of each model. Then follows a detailed photo set on each model. Overall, front/rear, engine, interior, and chassis shots of each. The first photo in each of the detailed sets tells a little about the model, including where and when (approximately) in appeared in print. It's easiest to look at these large size photos and the captions if you use the "Roll" feature (tab in upper left of screen). Here are a few teasers of the models posted there. I encourage any of you who want to, to add photos of your Model A Hot Rod builds to date to this thread. All I can say is that with the new Revell kit, I'm sure I'll be adding to my collection of Model A Hot Rods, and I bet many of you will be too. And this time, it's gonna be a WHOLE lot easier and quicker to get great results! Here's a few teaser shots, and thanks for looking...TIM Much more at the link...TB Edited February 12, 2015 by tim boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I also gotta say, I remember this roadster pickup and the awesome how-to article from Scale Auto Enthusiast. I got so fired up from that article that I went ahead and started building my own. Got as far as getting everything modified and ready for primer/paint then nothing more happened. Eventually I ended up using pieces from it for other projects. Seeing this again makes me wish I had finished it. You're one of my all-time favorite scale rod builders, Tim!
