Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This was built for the TROG Community Build going on listed lower down on the home page. I started with the olde Revell parts pack T frame recently re-issued as part of the Mooneyes Dragster kit from Atlantis Models. The flathead is from the Revell '40 Ford, wide-five wheels from the AMT '36 Ford coupe. Other parts from the parts box. Weathering is a combination of a flat black wash, Rust-All and a final dusting of Doc O'Brien's Weathering Powders (available from Micro-Mark).... This was a quick build I did over the Xmas>News Years break. Thanks for checking in.... -RRR 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpro Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 You captured the essence of "TROG" perfectly. Well done RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Karson Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Some one less than a Gentleman built it! Someone a real racer drove it, more than once! And once he got it going straight hung on for dear life! A sand flee would be jealous as to how far and how fast this sand digger can cross the beach! Time spent collecting the parts verses the time to build it: 1:7... -KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
