crazyrichard replied to crazyrichard's topic in WIP: Model Cars
omg ...................... after a lot of testing and trying in teh past i was never happy with the results ..... tonight i just thought i will try again .. what ? pinstriping on scale with paint .... now this time i was rather happy with the result , i kept it real simple and choose red and white to match the white walls and steelies i used a wooden meat stick with sharp point to paint ... now its rather simple and i will try to develope this in the future and maybe get some real designs on cars teaser > under the tails here they are tomorrow in daylight i think i can make better pics of the pinstripes , and i want to rub them with a soft cloth and wash the rear a tiny bit so it blends in -

haha thnx guys !!! well i painted the shifter all chrome , looks great , the bench i washed with darkbrown .. in the end it kind of looked right after that first threatment .. now it really blends in .. would i make it lighter of elss brown like the car i think it would stand out to much then made a magazine with real pages .. i dont know why i never did this before took me like 14 minutes with printing and glueing all together , in the garage i used styrene and glues a front on , man that now looks so fake .. i will also make new ones but then with real printed pages inside (now they are just blanc) bend it a bit so it looks read -

started on seats today i made the tunnel to big , i could still add seats but in the end i figured why not try a bench that flows around the tunnel .. stylewise i like this more , more vintage then like bomber seats so i took a pick-up bench and cut it up and made it smaller , sawed a square hole so it fitted over the tunnel , then glued in thick styrene plate so i could file and sand a form in there ... the right side was the start of getting some shape in the added styrene left just styrene glued in followes the tunnel nicely and the tuck and roll lines (?) run through into the new styrene -

crazyrichard replied to crazyrichard's topic in WIP: Model Cars
thnx !! and yes i did the low stance om purpose , its bagged and at its lowest .. i just loved that most and inspiration for the hight i got from this one > even drivable when flat haha >> movie > btw i dont know how i would call this one myself its not rusted but more a rough rod , bit extreme but the idea behind it was not to build a rat (on purpose) i just love the tudor body and i love chooped and channeled rods .. just a fun rod haha -

crazyrichard replied to crazyrichard's topic in WIP: Model Cars
thnx both !!!! its sitting on 4 tyres , rear is still loose and body also but ... it sits yeeey on the rear wheels i drilled open the center of the rims and used brass tube ... this one compared to my other rods is pretty fragile so i think i will make a small dio for this rod with the rod fixed on the dio still to do > try to make tiny sparkplugs in the holes with connectors (wire is now just loose in the hole) make seats (bomber style) add gauges small details do something to the roof , maybe real wooden cross members -
