timIowa1 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Was Timok1 but moved to Iowa so TimIowa1. Been modeling most of my life. Started in late 60s and like most took a break for several years. Mostly 60-80 muscle cars, some avation ,some military,some semi. Current projects 75 Gremlin X Power Tour. Super Stones F 250 with funky F 150 front suspension. My signature improvement is to make any kit have poseable front wheels. Not always easy but never impossible even with flat pan chassis. Been lurking since '19 move to Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Welcome back Tim....I see we have the same pet peeve...non steering wheels on model cars. I will be interested to see some of the innovative ways you solve this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timIowa1 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Thanks Slusher, Zippi and Rich. In a short I look at the chassis, asess what stays what goes. Reason the make. Try to stay within reason what can be done and how close my skills can represent factory. Check my parts bins for resources without wiping out something rereplacable. Some times its difficult to get a tie rod so sometimes I just leave it out and pose the wheels for display. As in real life the Mustang II kits have nice ifs that with a cut here a section there can be grafted to most any chassis Tim C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
