  1. just speechless ... this is one of those threads where most of us only can say oooh and ahhhh ... its a joy to watch and the results ... out of this world .. perfection
  2. nice nice .. i think i have to score me some of these pegasus wheels , dinky also used them on a build and at first seeing these wheels separate i thought hmm noooo but put them under a car and they just ... work
  3. thnx guys , really apriciated !! really apriciated .. you all make me blush mood , haha lol .. no problem you can use me to make excuses for yourself
  4. nice !
  5. thnx guys ! and the wheels are from a oldtimer bmw ... dont know the type right now but the body lookes like a morgan .. `that kind of style ... maybe i will make some cool concave moondiscs for them
  6. nice job !!
  7. stunning @@ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. thnx guys ! yes maybe i will ... .... on the other side wothout roof i could give the interiour a lot of detail ... i will try something with the roof ! tonight i made 2 airscoops on the brakes .. like 2 half shells .. i hope i can find some super super fine mesh to put in .. its a bit hard to see because they are black on black discs and that front end still needs loads of cleaning up .. i think in chrome they will pop ... also want to add some brake lines ... next challenge is to get a steering rod in , due to the grille shape the space is limited ....seeing i also have to fit the engine .. but working on that also did some work on the bottom , drilled some holes and added a thicker piece of styrene in v shape , just to spice it up a bit looks wise .. thinking o doing the chassis and bottom black then it will really become one and blend in and when i then make parts chrome they wil pop nice
  9. thnx george !!
  10. you just nailed it !!! how nice a build is that .. you managed to take a funny subject and make it look serious .. like the finish and realism .. the welds for instance ... awsome work
  11. well building slow and ...i'm flying through this build lol .. just feels like its going on cruise control after a lot of fitting and looking i decided this is the final set up and ride hight ... looks way cooler lower in the back , low long and sleek ..... i also suddenly love these wheels was using them for mock up .. but they grew on me , maybe i will make some moon discs from brass plate ... also i worked the dash into the body , like one piece , plastic welded some corners and sanded and bondo-ed it ... this will run through in the doorpanels i will make later on the frankenstein chassis , all recycled , even the middle plate isnt styrene but hard plastic card from old window blinds i still need to build rear suspension , build a interiour ... and do detail stuff
  12. nope , i have loads of inspiration and ideas , sorry .. but when summer hits us ... thats usually my down time .. i do build on a rare occasion but ... winter time is build build build .. but its natural to have periouds where its like uhhmm i'm stuck or like no inspiration or you feel like i dont feel like building ....
  13. awsome kit !!!!
  14. thnx guys !! well i added some hairpins / struts to the axle ... found some great tyres real soft rubber , look 3 times as nice in real life then on the pictures , they are not placed 100% correct on the rims in the pics seen from behind with the hairpins sideshot , dont mind the rear wheel i need to extend the axle i can just put the wheels on for a dryfit but they are against the body found a cool old image of a racer with a different nose the idea is to put stacks on the engine and let then stick out through holes in the bonnet , will aquire 6 times messuring and drilling ounce lol and on the hinges i made so the wheels can turn i want to make like those old looking air scoops to cool the brakes , also makes the ugly hinges a bit nicer ... was the first time i scratched steering wheels lol
  15. ooh yeah got to love these escorts !! great stuff
  16. looks awsome !!!!!.. maybe post some sharper pics ? so we can see it better ?
  17. well got one step further again , lots of trying and making the parts come together before i could continue styling , engine and details ineeded to set the ride hight and get it standing on its own f.. uhh tyres .. ridehight > i like it the rake is nice and the body isnt slammed but still low on the side next to the '31 tudor man that tudors roofline is low next to this lol next to a 3-window coupe i already build a 32 roadaster saltracer ounce but when stripping the paint the plastic got week and ... hmmmm on that build i was building a flatbed hauler wich at the same time was a push truck .. when the racer got screwed i build that into a tractor .. like on the pic .. now i want to build a custom chassis with smaller wheels and this cab and make a flatbed for the racer .. (when the racer is done) chassis pictures > now its all rough and yes it looks like a beetle chassis lol , i used the tube frame of a oldtimer bmw kit and changed some things , lept the stock revell miccle section because that go's in the body and is a perfect platfor to build on the cut tube chassis was glued under the revell base and i can build on that with sprue to match the frame up and make it longer .. also when done the plate wont whow anymore so i will def make the chassis way cooler with struts and brakets , v8 in the front ..
  18. cool cool , i have a truck here and i was also planning of making that longer to haul a rod .. your cab shape is awsome keep us posted
