one of the most realistic looking plastic models i have seen place this strategicly in a real environment and you wont know its a model on the pictures that painjob is insanely nice !!

thnx captin

omg ,, so awsome and those details are just great !!!

awsome thread !! loved going trough all the pages , you inspired me i'm def. going to look for super thin tape now .. in the future i want to so the later customs and well.......

thnx all !! well yes but to start with i live in holland / the netherlands also i could use them in the future myself.. the rear peices already got used in a nother build .. i often pick parts from stash kits because i never intend to build a kit how it "should" be build and @ ryanm , yes that sort of the idea i had .. since the cab has got round edges i need to make a frame that really follows the lines and i also would like to try to get a slight buldge shape in them so its not flat on top.. but not sure yet it could easely become some steel reinforcement ... we will see today i want to try and give the edge some more shape with a small strip maybe so it does not look so cut of

pfftt this is getting pretty insane good insane hahaha it

hmm to start with i love the 1:1 mods and well one thing is for sure now you can really see how it turns out and maybe even get better / new idea's for the 1:1 with this build

whow whow whow thats just one of the coolest things around

just awsome , especially to combine it the way you are doing !!

hmm nice job !! really dig it

cool kit and build !!

thnx , well alls till rough work and tbh i only had a tiny bit of styrene and only these angled ones .. but after the chassis is done i will add more and clean up everything.. and yes low it will be , i'm doing it like this with the modified chassis and the cab on the rails because i never did that only channeled with a modified chassis i was curious on the outcome it will be really low but in a way wont look that extreme because the roof isnt chopped and the cab is on the chassis.. sometimes i just want to try new stuff , otherwise it becomes boring and i canb dream up these revell kist now , the manual hasnt been opened ounce lol here is a dryfit with the drivetrain , the transmission and drive axle really dont come up in the cab , just a hair on the chassis this is what was left , just a tad inside , i made a tunnel from a old airplain bomb / rocket i tried some bucket seats but i liked the bench more so i'm keeping that in this is just a rough idea , just to check how wood looked so this isnt the width or how i want to use it i will make a real frame following the outerlines of the gap and make some pillars in between tunnel of the old airplane rocket now i need to close the front gaps up with some styrene and tested the inner flare behind the wheel to cover the gap up (included in the kit)

i knew that , also knew people would never cut that cab up irl .. but its like i wanted to do something unique and a bit out of the box .. i hope it turns out right started work on the chassis , i will run the driveshaft true the cab with a nice tunnel

thnx

thnx all !!!!

hey all , my next build , the 3-window coupe from revell the boxart > so first i markes a smaller piece just to look what happened then tried to get a idea for the next step with these wheels maybe i can make some roof support beams of real wood ?

thnx !!! i finished this one !! its in under the glass > http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69852&st=0&p=864403 previeuw end pics the rest is in under glass thnx everybody for replying and the great reactions

hi all , this build started out with a revell kit of the john buttera model t touring i used the parts and made a t-bucket body out of the touring body , in the end the new body was made out of 8 pieces and a lot of shaping a lot of scrath work on the details , the idea was to end up with a shiney rod but looking like its used and abused without becoming ratty ... the build thread > http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68853 the end pictures this pic shows the "brass" / gold firewall nicely , its bmf i love this shot and how it makes the red paint light up and even creates some orange due to the sun on the aircleaner i used cloth electrical tape on the side on to the next build
