gasser59 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 That's a cool little teardrop camper, Pat. Any more pictures of it? I'm not sure if I posted this or not in this thread. Everything is scratch-built with the exception of the frame, wheels and tires. Trees are made with a tapered dowel and hog's hair furnace filters. Mattress covered with printable fabric with an image I found online. This was a fun build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nicely executed model. The removable roof makes it more viewable to see all the little scratch built details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your build brings back wonderful memories and answers many questions about the layout of cabinets and so forth. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styromaniac Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 1/32 scale Belly Tanker. Start point is a Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 Lightning belly tank ( as the real 1:1 scale post War hot rodders used ) with a motor and wheels from various other 1/32 car model kits ( Revell Highway Pioneers, Pyro, Lindberg) and everything after that is cobbled together from bits and pieces from innumerable plastic sources...even model railroading. Example...the quick change rear end is made from halves of the tiny blower scoop from a Revell Attempt One, detailed with Grandt Line nuts and bolts. The challenge...as in the full scale world...is getting everything stuffed into such a small space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styromaniac Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Thanks J.C. I started to conceptualize this little project after the Old Dominion IPMS show in Richmond end of February 2020, hoping to bring it to some venues that summer and fall but COVID kicked in and took away all our scheduled events. Here's hoping we can share our work somewhere sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Not as advanced in the scratch art but my custom body kit for MKIV Supra And an old youth build of mine that I had saved but got smashed in an acidente in my display cabinet. I had bought a second kit so I could restore the chassis but I might build a tribute one day.
