Hello !!

Here are some progress shots of my 50 Olds Gasser. This is the first gasser I have ever built.

I trying to replicate an old barn find gasser. Maybe something like this:

Here is where I'm at so far.

I need to add the transmission linkages.

I used the front suspension from the 1933 Chrysler kit. It fit so well, I just had to use it. The white parts are scratch built items.

Here I’m experimenting with some different rust colors.

Hey Guys !  I need some help.

I'm considering adding some lighting to my 1/25th scale diorama.  I need overhead lights that would be found in a small garage.

When I try LED's they project a round spot on the floor.  No good.

When I try 1.5 volt  and 3 volt tiny filament type bulbs, they don't produce enough light. 

I want to run the lights on batteries.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Need Help.

What material is good to use for 1/25th scale tarps? I know how to make a tarp, but I'm not sure what material to use. What has worked well for you?

And Is there some kind of material that can be used without soaking it in a glue mixture?

A material that will drape over the car in a natural way without the glue?

Thanks.

Hey guys, here is my next project.  I’m already a few weeks into this project so I will post some progress pictures in the next few days so you can catch up to where I am in the building process.

My inspiration is this drawing I found on the H.A.M.B. Forum, drawn by Jeff Norwell.

I want to do a 1/25^th scale garage diorama all in black and white except for the car.  The car will be the only thing in color.

I did some mock-ups so I could see what it would look like and determine the size of things.

I started with the car.  The garage will depict a scene from around 1957.  The car will be a period correct 32’ Ford.  Something like this:

The first thing was to create a correct stock frame.  A stock frame is pictured on the bottom.  I started with the Revell frame on the top.  In the middle is the Revell frame with some modifications.
