idea wise (this is a early build of me ) i did this back then > you already cut open the panels like i did then i saw and i also build the dan fink like this > just used the front and the interiour panels and cut the roof and body off started covering the interiour panels with real wood i showed this because you could keep the roof and rear pillars and with the interiour panels in place could rebuild the whole wood section from real wood .. so maybe this gives you some idea's or did you already have a plan made ? oh and i'm sometimes a bit silly so i cut up the first green speedwagon and made this > i really would like to buy a nother one , these kits are awsome and you can do so much with them

thnx all !! and william yes i already found out you cant just order it online .. and well for me usually its too much fuzz to order waight and get it shipped to holland .. i also dont have to have the window exactly like that maybe i will make a own version of it , or do something totally different and about m,akinf stuff to be used as master i think my way of building isnt right for that stuff .. i often build stuff onto stuff and later worry about paint ... for that i would have to make a strong one piece part and thats something on its own ... i always love seeing stuff like that and also seeing resin parts and aftermarket stuff .. but i never get the feeling to make or buy something i just sit down with lodas of parts boxes , no plan at all and just see where it ends .. works for me and todd yes now that you mention it it does resemble a 36 indeed i even didnt thought about that and the funny part is its all by accident haha

hmm no i have not .. i have to be hounest i never bought any extra parts or ... i always try to make stuff but in this case it might be an option i will have a look there thnx

hmm thats to bad , you did thin it right ?? maybe ask here in the paint topic , i know people have gotten great results .. maybe there is a trick to it .. but yes i can imagine the smell ... being pffffftt about the paint i do think the stuff you used is tougher then what the average builder puts on his model .. try to start with some good old fashion elbow grease > or better said sand .. sand as much of as ... have you tried mr musscle ? put the parts in a seal bag spray it full of the musscle foam and let it sit for ...1-2-3 days worked for me ounce ... hey and again if you get tieres of it .. this might be the one shot at rying some weathering .. i know you are like the perfect finish builder and i love your perfect paint jobs (bog fan) but like said if it gets to a point where its not fun anymore like .... hey and i can always help you by giving pointers or ....

hmmmm ....arno ...you need some pepper ......where ...no ....sun ......ever .... lol well i'm sure if you find a nice color you will get the build going again .. but hmm why not look for like a cool color with a vintage feel to it , i'm sure the shop in ambacht must have some color that gives it that clean but vintage vibe .. full fendered like that would be cool or could be cool some color idea's (maybe you hate them) (i love that gray shiney and yet ...)

great ! but still not an easy task to make from scratch with those curves .. will try something later on added 2 styrene plates beside the grille , bend it in a round shape like the body i will keep all the panellines i dont want it to be too smooth and modern looking after more sanding and adding the panels its now become less pointy , in fact the shape now looks much rounder need to sand the top of the hood its a bot raised from the rest and this shows i really need to change from racer to custom rod , lines just scream hotrod and not racer

thnx !!

aaah the dan fink kit , cool i build two of those andrebuild both again , i added real wood in the panels and later build a custom woody roadster from this kit def. keep the first rims and white walls , those just look right on the car

nice !

brrrr i just love this build , perfection !!!!!!!!!!

luke those are awsome !!!!!!!!!!

thnx guys ~!

nice !!!!

cool stuff posted again here !! and hmm the diveshaft .. thats insanely cool

well hounestly ? ITS FREAKING COOL love it !!!!!!!!!!!

whow thats cool !

thnx guys these pictures will show the shape better now i filed and sanded some stuff in the middle of teh grille i glues some yellow styrene rod and roughly shaped it , will get more shape later on gutted the interiour the inside was scratchbuild but i made that tho thick back then some wheel just for .. wheel base will be longer (front wheels move forward) and maybe i need to change the title soon ... at least go like 32 hardtop .. and maybe erase the racer .. i already removed the hoodscoop and with such a shaped roof and low like that and maybe try to build a duval windsreen its looking more and more like a cool custom rod hope to make some duval shaped window frames ... although i know this will be a challenge without buying materials ...

hey all , i started a new build now the 31 tudor only needs some small stuff to finish it this time i took apart my previous build roadster , i never like the outcome and every time i saw it i got annoyed .. also the past 6 months i just grew a bit again and got new techniques and a bigger drive to get details spot on and stuff more correct so ... i just tore it apart this was the build > after some sanding and thinking of idea's i got the idea to give the front a radical face .. like i googled and tryed to make something i never saw before. the idea , somebody could have done this 4 real , looking slek and streamlined .. kind of trying to get like a 32 roadster looking fast while it sits still so i took this bulky truck grille / front nose that already was a custom piece i ounce did and glued it on the hood dont look at the tonneau cover thats gone , i probable will be making a custom shaped roof (solid roof) the top of that truck piece was a peice of a hood i custom mmade on the grille and the shape looks so cool , the raised line matched the raised line on the ford hood and the shape where they meet was scary the same after sawing i ended up with this .. only the top piece , also fitted a small scoop on the hood test mock up where you see i cut half the frame off , and in the front tried a tube frame .. looks sweet and fits the race theme , i also have a back piece from tube , but in the end the whole chassis will become custom made out of several kit parts in the parts boxes like this its weird looks like a bird beak hahahah then i took the 32 ford grille and just cut it to pieces untill i had 2 parts that could be fitetd like this > in the middle i will make a raised line like the one runnign over the middle of the hood and nose .. the sides will be closed with beside the grille a section and removable panels where they normally would be .. maybe some holes with open pipes sticking through

i do have some large hands but not extreme ... hahaha but if we would break down that shot .. my hand is in front of the picture and the tudor ion the back wich makes my hand already look bigger .. then the tudor is so chopped and channeled in fact its become small low rod .. so ... but yes still my hand aint small hahaha

looking great awsome progress ...

nom nom nom thats just tasty

thnx guys !! and johan if you keep building you def. will notice you will improve fast , when i look back at builds from one year ago .. i think whow thats hmmmzzzz also the drive and passion for the thing you are building can push you to improve at least thats what i feel ... made a test version of a wooden truss .. will make a frame from real wood , but going to do that in the weekend when i have more time and .. in my garage (dio section) upstairs on the cabinet i have a tiny 32 ford modelcar that a guy milled for me ... how supprised was i when i found this in a box from a bunch of half build kits i bought of a guy , now i also have a chevy yes its really that tiny >>

with skirts and antenna's .. looks awsome to me , would be cool to do like a see through sunvisor with a chrome surrounding as well

this is just awsome ! love them ... would love to get my hands on those early kits myself

i love these 36 fords ! looks nice !!
