Chuck Most Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Well, it's done. Not much else to say, I guess... And here's the drawing I started with as a guide... Considering the drawing wasn't done anything close to scale, I think it turned out pretty cool, and actually looks pretty close to the original idea. Also- big fat props to all the guys who supplied parts for the buildup!
Ryan S. Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Too cool man, this turned out great. I love all the little details like the door handles and the wrench pedals. The exit sign is perfect too and I still dig the grenade shifter. Well done!
Jon Cole Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah... that's a knockout punch! Just enuf eye candy. EXIT sign... *~grin!~*
Scalper Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Thats a pretty wild ride there. great detail and weathering.
Foxer Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I love all those details already mentioned, but the shape and color of that gas tank is a knockout!
von Zipper Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Well Done Mr. Most, Although I've never met you in person-this is the kind of thing I picture you driving in real life.... Every time I look at it, there's some thing else to see. It did come out very close to your drawing but I'm glad that lavender color didn't work out on the model,my favorite is the trade mark next to your name on the drawing............
Harry P. Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Of all the work by you that I've seen so far... this is the best yet! I love all the little things... the wrench pedals and door handles, the bullet holes, the steer horns, etc. Also love the sweep of the headers and how they relate to the intake stacks. It all works. (except, of course, for the suspension!!) 10+...
John Teresi Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Chuck......you made another "Master Piece".......you can put this one on the top of the shelf.......really turned out great.
samdiego Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) I've tried a couple of times to make a grenade shift knob and I've never been able to pull it off. How did you do this one? I've used sculpy and tried carving one from sprue but no luck. I really like this car. Edited October 14, 2010 by samdiego
AzTom Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Chuck, That is a wild ride. Love the little details ... that Exit sign cracked me up. Now .... I'm not sure about that grenade shift knob .. I mean the pin is still in it but the car looks like the grenade has gone off at least once already. AzTom
rustybill1960 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Total sweetness Man! Love It! Your grenade shifter, the sweep of the headers, the interior details . . . . . wow Thank You for sharing! Later Russ
davyou5 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Darn! I almost thought that thing was real! Amazing job on that .
randx0 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Nice seems like the wrong word. having veiwed the drawing before the build I will go with excellent execution (especially if someone pulls the pin). bravo sir bravo .
W-409 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 WILD!!! Looks cool, it's pretty wild looking rat rod, but that's just a good thing! Like that rust on it, looks real, door hinghes are looking good and the engine is looking great. That interior is cool too, like it. Build more these...
bigmikevee Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Chuck, Just beautiful!! Look at all the time you save not having to polish the paint!! Just beautiful, I love it and I want one!! Inquiring minds want to know....well, a lot of stuff about your models, but will settle for the answer to "where you got the grenade?" Ka-boom!! Thanks for posting for us, can't wait to see how you top this one. Mike
chev12olet Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 X 2 on what everyone has said. Awesome work. That is craftmanship right their. And again where or how did you make/get the grenade ?? tell us the secret.
Chuck Most Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 I've tried a couple of times to make a grenade shift knob and I've never been able to pull it off. How did you do this one? I've used sculpy and tried carving one from sprue but no luck. I really like this car. The actual grenade is from a Gangbuster '28 Lincoln kit, but I am working on a method to make a grenade shift knob. Stay tuned!
mr moto Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Geez!! I'm not sure that thing meets all the mandatory safety regs for a 1915 model. But it sure is KOOL!
bsoder Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Man that is just to freakin' cool!...the grenade is GREAT..the bullet holes...the whole thing makes me
Chuck Most Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Geez!! I'm not sure that thing meets all the mandatory safety regs for a 1915 model. But it sure is KOOL! I'm not sure it meets the mandatory safety regs for ANY year model!
