cazxr2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Very realistic looking bricks. ??????????? If u talking bout my man cave. They look real because they are. It's a small shed used to be a coal shed. Great for what I need. Also keeps the heat in when I've got the heater on in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I want to see more of the ElCamino , How in the world did you make that? Great Craftmanship my friend. I was just wondering the same thing, myself. Nice work, Paul. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's a combination of a Model King/AMT short track Malibu, an AMT 68 El Camino (the rear window area, top of the bed rails and the inside bed panels) and scratch building. The whole thing from the rear wheel wells back is all scratch built. I still need to modify the bumpers to resemble a factory street car. The rest is pretty much done. The 68 El Camino also gave up it's chassis and interior but I did have to add some length to the chassis to correct the wheelbase. Here's the link to my photobucket that shows the process. http://s135.photobucket.com/albums/q126/mr68gts/Chuck%20Davey%20Project/ Paul [/quote Very nice indeed, Paul. I'll be interested to see how you resolve the rear bumper issue; getting those taillights in will be a bit of a job. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazxr2 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Cheers it's actually my wife's old dressing table. That I chopped up to fit in the space I had. I'm not a huge DIY man. So I was pretty pleased with the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazxr2 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 This is my bench I know it's Tuesday but it's been like this over the weekend from left to right Volvo globetrotter I broke while taking it apart, then it's a scania "cool fruits" cab dark blue, then a scania ?????? Light blue. In the corner is a merc recovery truck, then a eddie stobbart. All in need of restoration. Then there's my 1/18 escort cosworth. And above on the shelf what's that more trucks in need of TLC lol I'm going to call it Craigs truck stop haha . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Chuck i'm very curious to see what your "half-Corvair, Small Block powered, Beetle truck cab thing going" is going to look like Sounds very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here- I have no idea where it's going! Total 'seat of the pants engineering' going on here, my standard MO! This was what the cab started out as, it's the same kit as the current Aoshima issue, only molded in yellow instead of red- Edited July 24, 2011 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim0205 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here are some of the silly and absurd things lingering on my bench this weekend 70 Charger 1/25th fused with 1/16th 84 corvette result post appocalyptic mayhem 06 Charger on a diet choped nipped and tucked. bench seat roadster with three on the tree and the Hemi of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Love that '70 Charger, and the new-style Charger roadster looks cooler than the 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A day late, but I was wrapped up in a couple of projects yesterday! This is a '61/'63 Rambler American, the AMT 'Rambler' slammer kit on an AMT '66 Nova Pro Street chassis. Or how about a 1910 Studebaker Hot Rod? It's the old 1:32 Minicraft kit with a chopped top, scatchbuilt frame, and a few choice bits from a Revell Edelbrock Midget. And what I hope will eventually be a 'pro-street' style Revell Gran Turismo. Yes, those are the wheels and tires from the Ramblur. And of course I'm still plugging along on the Buick.

Chuck Most Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 One I've been working on- I've wanted to build a diesel-powered rat rod for a while, and this is where I'm at with that so far. It's an IH V-800 engine in a modified Lil Mixer chassis- who knows what other stuff I'll use to fill it out. Just for fun... see how many kit parts you recognize in the photos.
