Dennis Lacy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I can't repeat the expletives that I used when I texted you earlier so I'll just say that I really, really, really love it! The colors, the weathering, the minimal lettering is all perfect. I also still can't get over what a perfect find that dashboard was!

bbowser Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 This is outstanding! A work of art worthy of display in a museum. Great work, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks, guys....the broken tie rod end has since been fixed...this was one wild build, I'm not sure I want to go to this extreme any time soon again. Ten pounds in a five pound box to be sure. That gas tank is the third one I built to get it sized right to fit under the body....but it turned out petty nice, if I do say so myself. A belly tanker was on the list of "to-do" builds for many years.... -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mate, I've never met you but I reckon if I did we would get long like a house on fire! This is absolutely magnificent! The fact that no particular part stands out because they have all weathered uniformly - that is EXACTLY the patina you find when you crawl into some old shed and dig something out - and believe me, I've done that plenty of times Aussie shed patina is exactly the same as American barn patina. You are dead right abut the 10 pounds of potatoes in a five pound bag - if I remember rightly that is why I stopped building mine years ago. I've got no excuse now!Thanks fro sharing this with everyone - it is a true masterpiece.One last thing - I love that you used that plate out of the Revell chassis parts pack - I have had several of these over the years and for some reason it is still one of my v favourite parts - it just speaks to me. Great to see it in use. CheersAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I will be sad not to see this at MAGS next year. Seeing your work and KK's was always something I looked forward to at that show. Terrific work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
