Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!

[Belairconvertable]

I'll start. Amt 61 impala with wheels and tires from the Badman kit. I'm not going this route with the model, I just thought it looked cool.

I have a thread in this forum. My favorite part of the build

 

[NOBLNG]

AMT ‘36 Ford. Just a quick and dirty mockup. I don’t know what wheels or tires I’m using yet. I do like these kit wheels though.?

[Cool Hand]

Great idea for a topic, one of my favourite parts of the building process. Mock is essential to check idea's, fitment of parts and monitoring progress. 

I can see myself posting a lot in this thread. And I will always bring something different.

The kit.

The wheels.

My Peking to Paris entry. Just wanted to see some rubber under it.

Well, since I just did a quick mock of my Camaro in base coat…

Luke, it’s your favourite TS 14, just not nearly as smooth as you do. It will get a handful of colour coats on top, then I’ll smooth it out.

I like doing mocks too. It’s always fun diving into the parts bins and drawers looking for the right combo. Of course stance is everything….

Neat thread idea Ryan. Currently on my workbench as WIPs are the Corvair Funny Car, the 63 Vette, and the 57 Bel Air. Especially with builds that require a certain amount of scratchbuilding, mocking up with a PVA type of glue for ease of disassembly is a must to ensure proper a proper fit. Switching to a BBC from the kit Hemi in the Corvair required of lot of testing and fitting that would not have been possible without mocking up the assembly a few times.

Cheers Misha

Although I'd done a couple of photo alterations of images off the internet for my Backbug idea (my entry for the GSL 2019 Common Kit class entry), I still needed to see a 3D mockup to reassure myself that my photo alterations were not just some kind of unfeasible 2D optical illusion. What made it work was when I saw how I could slice off a bit of the trunk lid and graft it onto the engine deck lid.

Thanks for posting here, each project looks like a fun one!

Good to see.

Its all in the practice and learning mate. Last count ive painted 40 cars black, so you could say ive done a lot of learning and practicing LOL!

Which version of the 57 Chevy is this? Snap kit and where are the wheels from..Nice all over..I hear the snapper is a nice kit but I sure don't like the wheels that come with it..

The quickest mockup ever.

Hi Wayne, yes indeed it is the snapper kit of the 57. Quite like this kit and by swapping out the modern Halibrand style wheels (saving them for a future project) with the R/M 67 Vette Coupe rims I was able to stay with the story of the original owner’s 1969 rebuild with the vinyl top, new paint and suspension upgrade with front discs and the Vette rims. Here is the WIP thread…

While it is stalled on the workbench, there is still some work to complete on the interior and chrome trim all around, which I’m hesitant to attempt because of the issues with the current BMF. Hope to have it Under Glass shortly. By the way the 67 Coupe is about to be rereleased.

Cheers Misha

Here is a couple that are currently on the bench rotation,

[Snake45]

Here's one I started a while back and need to get back to: Revell '34 Ford 3W body on the MPC '32 sedan delivery frame, engine, wheels and tires, and it will use the '32 radiator. 

[Mattilacken]

just one of mine ?

[Gramps46]

Holy cow. What's the story on the Lola Mk6 GT on the left?  Was that actually kitted?

EDIT: Found one !

A very nice idea for a thread, Ryan! Imo, mocking up models is essential before starting a build. Unfortunately I rarely take pictures of my mock-ups but I have few...

Heres my ´41 Lincoln Phantom Fastback after Making some body work:

When I built my version of the Supernatural Impala some years ago I tried some wheel/tire combos to check the custom car or pro touring potential of the 4-door Impala:

A quick mock up of a ´49 Merc I want to do in the near future:

And finally the ´68 El Camino I going to paint next week:

[disconovaman]

My New Years Resolution was to finish some of these up... so far I'm not doing too well. ????‍?️?

I'm REALLY diggin' this.... and this thread.

 

[Mike C.]

Forgot about these.

[Lunajammer]

My mockup pics have mostly become a gallery of shame for all the cool projects I'm neglecting for no good reason.
