Joe Handley Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'd like to see you build the model version of that! Anybody got a reeeeeeeeeealy warped A-Team van or Revell van? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Finished another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This second one might be easier to execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I don't know Virgil, you'd have to start with a '57 Chevy and lots of extra styrene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 How cool would it be to make a model of one of your illustrations? I say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 How cool would it be to make a model of one of your illustrations? I say go for it! X2! Heck, if I can do it, so can you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Wow, I don't think I had seen that one, Chuck, or maybe you have so many builds now that it's hard to keep track. What a great job. Love all the details on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) I've got a good idea what the van would need (just unwilling to cut up my last remaining A-Team van for it), but I've got no clue where to start on something that unrelated to a stock model body. That thing could end up like Chezoom, the vin number would be the only part left untouched! Edited November 11, 2011 by Joe Handley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Actually a Chezoom might not be a bad starting point for that custom hardtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I've got one of the Revell 1/12 '57 Chevy's here that would probably be a starting point......either that, or that early 60's AMT '57 Chevy that had all the cool period speed and kustom parts left out of it on the most recent reissue.........still kinda hacked off about that one!

Joe Handley Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Did another one that would be within the relm of buildable in Styrene or 1/1, just not sure of what the best way to rake the windshield is........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gseeds Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 real cool work in here !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks Gary! Here's another, I was kinda aiming for a kustom 4dr Hudson with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ok, still kinda away so here's a couple I knocked out tonight. For the first one, I've long considered the Lotus 7/Chaterham to be the British "Track-T". I would love to build Track-T someday using a relatively modern domestic turbo 4 cylinder ( I had wanted a 2.2/2.5 early T1, but could happily use a SRT 2.4 turbo motor too) and then set it up so it can actually turn well and make it a decent Track Day type car too. The second one is a Track-T....ish roadster, more along the line of the Alumacoupe, but with the engine where it belongs.....between the driver and front axle centerline!

Chuck Most Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 If you are feeling exceptionally brave, you might be able to use the R&R '48 4-door body to create that Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 The Hudson was more of a "for the heck of it" sketch, but would work for insperation towards others thoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Fine! I'll build it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
