blunc Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Track T (based on an old Pyro kit) Warning, there is a LOT of "imagineering" on this build. Early mockup, motor from a funny car snap kit, slot car wheels A little frame prep for the four-link torsion bar suspension. more frame prep setting the height a little more mock up and setting the bucket on the frame with a little firewall fab. tube front axle created torsion bar front suspension with integral ferro-fluid damping, some white primer to check the body work. side view, a little paint on the block. time for some engine work back yard paint booth a hinge for the turtle deck deck lid fitted, hinge fits well a few more mockups: front rear 3/4 rear Edited May 15, 2022 by blunc typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Reposting some photos I have shown here in the past. Few Gunze Sangyo 1:32 kits of the '50s and '60s cars. Going smaller, here are couple of 1:43 models. Monogram Ultimates 289 Cobra. VW Beetle (rebuilt diecast kit from Testors). Going even smaller, here is a '56 Ford Crown Vic in H0 (1:87) scale. Smallest ones I built (so far) are N scale (1:160). FedEx Dodge Sprinter. Micron Art photoetched brass kit of a '15 Ford Model T Another Micron Art brass kit of a '14 Knox Fire Engine. Resin-cast (from a scratch-built master) golf carts (for my friend's layout golf course - I made several) Also resin cast from a scratch-built master dodgem (bumper) cars. Small scale models rule!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 This is the smallest I've done so far: At the time I found it a bit of a challenge, but since then I've started wearing varifocals..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Here’s four kits plus a 1/144 red GT500 “diecast”. The Gulf GT40 looks a tad bigger than 1/87 but the rest are HO scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh1701 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Some 1/160th scale vehicles I built for my N Gauge train layout. The PT Cruiser is a resin kit. All of the others are 3-D Printed Plastic kits. All were hand painted. Thanks for looking! Bart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 What a cool thread Mike!!! Lots of cool stuff in here. That 1/250 scale rig takes the frickin' cake for me. WOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Built this a few years back and had a BLAST with it. In 1/35th scale there's not a whole lot that's NOT covered in the AM world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an amazing kit - the windows have their frames beautifully chromed which I've never seen elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
