John, Thanks for uploading this - the smile of the day!

Nice job! Looking forward to the wheels tutorial.

Revell "Miss Deal" is great because it contains pieces from the old Revell parts packs - engine, wheels & tires, & front suspension. AMT Double Dragster - tons o' parts for vintage draggers Pre-1991 Monogram/Revell NASCAR Thunderbird - with some minor tweaks the chassis & running gear can be used to vastly improve 70's AMT & MPC NASCAR kits (e.g. '75 Matador).

I'd like to build the AMT '72 Blazer, but I don't want to pay 50+ bucks for one.

VERY cool!!! Compared to winners from the 60's-90's, this won't look like a period piece. Traditional rules!

Nikola Tesla would be proud! cool concept.

Nice work! Haven't seen that shade of green before.

This is WAY cool!!

Very nice - color looks great!

Sweet!!

The vaccum tubes are HO scale light bulbs - back in the day they were called "grain of wheat bulbs". They were the same kind of bulbs found in the AMT '64 Ford & Chevies.

In-liners rule! Nice job!

All, This was my first photo posting here; thanks for the accolades - much appreciated! More photos are attached. Keith

Our club, the Delaware Valley Scale Modelers, had a contest last night for zombie killer vehicles. My entry, a 1909 Stanley Steamer, won the contest. It’s based on Aurora’s 1/16th scale kit, with many modifications. The paint is American Accents Burnished Copper and was weathered with a grimy black wash. I broke the mounting bracket for the one headlight, so I mounted it on the fender and wrapped it with scale chain to simulate a repair. The gun consists of over 70 parts, ranging from HO scale train parts to a 1/8th scale fire extinguisher trigger. The radiophone is based on a toolkit box from a 1/6thscale Stutz and was modified with jewelry pieces, brass rod, and AMT dragstrip accessories parts. I had a blast building it and specials thanks to DVSM members for voting it best in class!

Yup! The Philadelphia Area Car Modelers meets the first Friday of every month at Artisan's Suite/Professional Building, 8100 Roosevelt Blvd, in NE Philly. See http://www.dvsm.org/ for details. Hope to see you on Dec. 7th!
