The dood Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) First rat rod. Building 32 for a friend based on Stacey David's rat rod. First trunk opening as well.

chunkypeanutbutter Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Looks good! I need to start opening trunks on my models, but fabbing the panels is usually too much trouble for the outcome...As for the picture posting, you can copy the direct link in Photobucket, then have it show up here by putting "[-i-m-g-]" then pasting the link then putting "[-/-i-m-g-]" afterwards (just take out the dashes.)

The dood Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 So I spent a couple of hours shimming the trunk, dry fitting, testing the hinges and making sure everything is perfect. Got off work today early and planned on shooting the base coat today. The dog ate my TRUNK! After following her following her around for a few hours to see I could get it back, I decided it would be easier to order another from Model Car Round Up. Now we wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
