maltsr Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm working on an auction purchase Monogram Deusenberg that unfortunately is missing the top part of the engine, so after a few hours, 12 pieces of styrene and 13 pieces of brass rod I have this - good enough for me!

That engine looks great! Nice scratchbuilding! I did a little assembly work on my Known Survivor build for NNL East - enjoying working with various metals for a change!

NOBLNG Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Quite a bit, but I’m not gonna reveal it yet. One thing I did do was modify my mitre box so I can get a full depth cut with my razor saw. The “spine” of the saw kept hitting the sides of the box. All good now!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Detailing a 1/24 scale Winchester lever-action rifle. For a build I hope I'll finish soon, which needed some vintage weapons. After checking dollhouse companies, resin figures, soft plastic cowboys and everything else in the known universe, I came up with one sorta-workable Winchester: from the Revell 1/24 "Big Game" GMC pickup. But it's molded into a gun rack and had to be cut away. It's also very blobular and needs a lot of general sharpening up and fiddly work to look good. I did find one 1/24 resin figure with a Winchester, a nicely detailed cowboy. But that figure was $25 and I had the Revell rifle already. While looking for vintage guns, I did find these nice 1/24 scale white-metal double-barreled shotguns. They're from a dollhouse company on eBay and come in a package of 2, for about $10.

Tom Geiger Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Today I wired the Chevy six for my 1950 pickup. I also have all the engine accessories painted, drilled and pins glued into the receiving spots. I also made some decals for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replicas & Miniatures Company of Maryland has--or at least used to--a resin package called The Armory with a bunch of 1/25 scale guns. I don't remember what-all's in it or if there's anything you can use, but it might be worth checking out. I seem to recall there's at least one pump shotgun in it, maybe.

I think I've seen that set and it was mostly guns from the Gangbuster kits and police cars. I'm looking for stuff from the early 20th century. If anybody else needs a 1/24 scale vintage machine gun, these Lewis guns from Gaspatch are great. They're resin and come in a pack of 2 with 8 ammo drums (4 regular and 4 aircraft type with a carrying handle). The ammo drums are even detailed on both sides, so the individual rounds are visible on the bottom of the drum. You can find them on eBay, in several different scales if you don't need 1/24 scale.

Tom Geiger Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Today I got the interior finished for the 1950 Chevy pickup. Next up is weathering and rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Got one '63 Buick wheelcover modified to the Riviera version and sank it in the purple pond to dechrome it and get it ready to cast. After that, I started experimenting with some acrylic paint to weather the '65 Nova chassis. I'll discuss the result of that under Questions and Answers...

Tom Geiger Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Cool 41! I may put mine in my queue! I’m working on my 50 Chevy pickup truck daily. Yesterday afternoon I weathered the chassis and hood. I put the decals on the doors, added setting solution and put the body aside overnight. I should be able to assemble chassis and weather the body and bed today.

StevenGuthmiller Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Nothing worth posting photos of, but I've been spending a considerable amount of time working on re-building the interior on my '64 Pontiac Grand Prix project. And when I get tired of that, I spend time re-scribing virtually every piece of faintly molded trim on the body! Very monotonous, but it will help a great deal when it comes time to foil.

I use that same basic technique as a rule on the body trim and panel lines. Takes some time and effort, but the results are generally well worth it.

Tom Geiger Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Today’s progress on my Corona project... We are up on wheels and engine is glued to chassis. Still playing with weathering and little details. We are at the stage of the project where we “do one thing, wait for it to dry”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
