Topics I've Started

32 Ford oil on canvas

09 March 2013 - 07:32 PM

Hello all. I thought Id share this one here on the forum. Before I started building models my only passion was drawing using paper and pencil. Recently after thinking about it for years I decided to start using paints and canvas. After a few portraits and fantasy stuff I gave some thought about painting a car. This little Deuce is the end result of my first try. Attached File  CAM00131.jpg   95.48K   68 downloads

Kustom 49 Ford

01 February 2013 - 10:56 PM

Hello again people. So this will be my latest project to add to a list of many that are unfinished. I've decided to give the 49 a rebuild after it got knocked around during the move from one side of the country to the other. Anyway, the plan is to graft on the peaked headlights and taillights from a 55 Chevy as a start plus I have a few traditional mods to add also. A roof swap could be possible but Ill see how adventurous I'm feeling after the front an rear mods first. Here are a couple of pics of what I'm starting with.

W71 Mack

18 January 2013 - 10:44 PM

Well, after finally finishing up my H61 Cherrypicker I swore to myself I wasn't going to scratchbuild another truck again.....that lasted a week until I started on this one. I had some sales brochures and spec sheets from the Mack museum so that plus boredom and some evergreen sheets floating around was all i needed to get started. I still have a lot of work left to do but progress is happening pretty quickly with this one. Apart from the wheels, tyres,engine/gearbox and diesel tanks everything has been made by myself.The bullnose hood will open once I make up some little hinges,as will the doors. Colour will be the same emerald green as my H61. Here are a few pics of where I'm at with it now.Attached File  CAM00019.jpg   98.99K   68 downloadsAttached File  CAM00020.jpg   103.96K   98 downloadsAttached File  CAM00021.jpg   94.94K   115 downloadsAttached File  CAM00022.jpg   81.19K   116 downloadsAttached File  CAM00023.jpg   83.55K   86 downloads

Diamond T

18 January 2013 - 04:23 PM

A resin conversion using an AMT Titan as the donor kit although I ended scratchbuilding the chassis rails because the body didn't sit right over the front wheels. Was a pretty quick and easy build and was based on an old Diamond still doing daily work around Perth. Hope you guys enjoy it.Attached File  CAM00007.jpg   151.86K   93 downloadsAttached File  CAM00008.jpg   139.29K   113 downloadsAttached File  CAM00009.jpg   162.61K   76 downloads

37 Ford taildragger

18 January 2013 - 03:26 PM

I started with a monogram kit and built it using the Matranga Merc as inspiration for the side glass profile. The roof is of course chopped and laid back in the rear. I scratch built a 39 Zephyr dash panel for the interior . The headlights have been moved to the outer fenders just because I've never seen it done on a 37 Ford before. The tailights are sunken 59 Caddy bullets and a 49 Ford rear bumper. The engine is a Flathead. Hope you like.
