LoneWolf15 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Another phantom , what if , coulda been ......
LoneWolf15 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Sorry , Bob .... This is just a buck that I built to show case the bodies .......
Speedfreak Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Beautiful. Donn, those wheels look like real aluminum, are they?
LoneWolf15 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 No , the wheels are from one of the older Revell Willys kits ..... I wish I had about 20 more pairs of Bob Dudek's aluminum slots which are similar .
Crazy Ed Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Donn, Looks like the Old Adage of "Them that can Do and them that Can't Teach" is Wrong, because you sure Can DO AND Teach, 'cause that's Sure Some Pretty Paint! Thinkin' it's time to drop a chech in the mail!
Speedfreak Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 No , the wheels are from one of the older Revell Willys kits ..... I wish I had about 20 more pairs of Bob Dudek's aluminum slots which are similar . Did you shoot them with some kind of clear or something? 'Cause it doesn't look like 'model' chrome. Anyway they look good.
Codi Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Nice to see you posting Donn. Oh, and a nice build too!!! Sweet paint job................of COURSE! More pics of what you've been working on would be great too. Cheers, Tim
LoneWolf15 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 Ed , You won't regret it for one minute ! I have found that when I am teaching , more often than not , I am learning at the same time myself . They are well worth the cost ! Tim , As of late , I have been doing far more commission work then building for myself . I am scrambling right now to complete as many bodies as I can for the NNL East show in April . I have more than a few projects started for myself but I am up to my ears in commissioned work and they simply sit on the shelves , giving me dirty looks ..... Lol ! I will be posting more pictures as time permits .... Thank ya'll for the compliments , they are greatly appreciated !
Crazy Ed Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Ed , You won't regret it for one minute ! I have found that when I am teaching , more often than not , I am learning at the same time myself . They are well worth the cost ! Donn, I've no doubt there'll be no regrets, and in the next week or so you ought to be gettin' a Check fron S.E. Arizona. I taught Electronics Assenbly back in the late '70's (Soldering, Wire Harness Assembly, which included Lacing to Mil Spec., Component ID etc.) and Semi Conductor Wafer Fab, mainly Die attachment and Wire Bonding. And there wasn't a Class that pased that I didn't learn more than the Students! Almost always as the result of a question where I when "Huh??" and had to think way through someting or other I never worried about before the question.
Kustom Rodder Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Very nice Donn looks really good thanks for sharing it .From time to time I will go on virgils site to see if you have done anything new always like looking at your work.
comp1839 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 the quality that is in the builds around here is just remarkable. super clean build!!
mysterj1 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Absolutely LOVE the 'what if' ideas. That's the beautiful part of modeling is that only your imagination is the limiting factor. What if Don Carlton had a nitro breathing brute, ala 'Fantasia'? Would it have been a tank? Could he have beaten the old altered funny cars with it? I think your Willys is one of the cooler ideas I have seen in the drag racing part of the forums in a long time! And your paint looks AWESOME!
