A 24 hour, build? I'm impressed, Al, you have done a great Job!

Another masterpiece, Ira, you've done it again, my friend, i love it! Hmm, I would highlight the lines on the dome, just a small suggestion:

This is a beautiful execution, Marcos, i love it!

MPC 1953 FORD FLIP NOSE PICK-UP STREET RACER VERSION OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE FORD PICKUP, 1/25 SCALE. Kit #1-0730, issued in 1983 I have this one built for a friend, according to his ideas. Now, after over 20 years, he has returned it to me. Well, not in original condition: It was very dusty and some parts were broken off. He said that if I could use it for anything, I could keep it. The parts were fixed quickly, but the dust, sits in some places very tight. Well, after so many years... On the pics, the hood is still not right on it... , hope you like it.

Some of the, subsequent creations, you have to look carefully, some consist of two, some of several vehicles... some see it immediately, others need more time... I wish you much fun, and hopefully someone moves through this thread to this direction, to put some of it in model form!

What should I assemble even when I've assembled nearly everything? I keep hearing, that there were fewer, or even that there are no new creations. : In this thread, I would like to show you some options and ideas, all, how shall I say it, realizable vehicles, well, smaller in our beloved hobby, of course... The possibilities are endless, some good, some better, some great, some less... for the eye, I mean... However, it depends on the execution, whether it stands, or falls... ... and of course, the taste of every individual... It may be this one: or this:

As far as I can remember, it would be this kit: AMT/ERTL 1932 Ford Phaeton model kit - Kit #6899 - 1:25 scale. - Body type 35, 5 passenger, 4 dr. convertible, Bucket Seats - 65 hp, 221 cu.in. flathead V8 engine - 3 Spd. manual floor shift - chopped convertible top - chopped windshield and rear window - front dropped suspension - 9" rear differential - Cragar Pro-Tech wheels, on the rear with additional tubes for the extra width - 1:20 Formula 1 Rubbers on the back - Decals combined with hand-painted grafics One of my first customs, hope, you like it.

As far as I can remember, it would be this kit: AMT/ERTL Pro Street '67 CHEVELLE SS 396 ~ 1/25 Car Model kit # 6986, released in 1990 - detailed 396 cubic inch V-8 with performance parts - tubbed chassis, narrowed rear axle, traction bars - Pro Street interior with roll Cage I built it to this time, no idea why I made the darkened side and rear windows, they are covered with real film from the inside... ... maybe I've seen this in a magazine and thought it was kool, or so ... Not a great idea, as I think now, we do not see as much of the great interior... Hope, you like it.

Satan`s Crate I had a lot of fun while completing this very small and delicate kit. Despite his size, he is very detailed, but the details come alive, just by painting. Small changes: - the base that allows the wheelie - the scoop - the steering wheel now goes through the hand - the steering column is from a paper clip (the wire can be bent much easier) - and a shattered windshield (a piece from a transparent packaging) Here is the result, hope you like it.

The popular Weird-Ohs® model kits - the classic 1960s multi-million selling phenomenon... Bill Campbell is another one of my favorite artists, he is behind the Hawk model companies 1960's Weird-Ohs series. He also did the box art for many WW2 planes, trains and cars witch proved him to be an all around great artist. The Weird-ohs series later spawned the Frantics, the Silly Surfers and an off-shoot line of plastic toys, Halloween masks and board games. The Hawk company has recently re-released the Weird-ohs, Frantics and Silly Surfers kits with the original box art. Daddy I have painted the coffin with Tamya spray cans, as well as wheels and rims. The rest was painted first with mat black ( spray can ) and then by hand with Acrylic mat paints (FIN by WACO, great experience). These colors can be diluted with water or abrasion-proof. For the eyes, mouth, teeth, all shiny areas, I cover it with Enamel Paint No.1 by Revell. The back of the coffin is filled with lead pellets, so that the whole makes a wheelie, and the briefcase serves as a wheeliebar... I also add some hair... Well, this is my version, hope you like it.

Well, I have no idea what kit this was (maybe someone here knows), I know only that it was one of the first. Decals combined with hand-painted grafics, hey, those were the days... Hope, you like it.

Drag Hag Her name is Drag Hag and she`s cute (?) as she can be A more wayout Mother you will never see The carriage that she drives boasts blower, headers and slicks And with those tight stretchpants she is one of the slickest chicks Her face is not realy great but does that truly matter? `Cause when she goes through the clocks the records she does shatter Her attire is not the type that on the drag strip you see Nevertheless when she goes past the boys all whistle, " Whee! " Her gearshift knob is different being bottle, cap, and nipple But then, what can you expect- her car is painted "baby burp stipple" So to her we doff our hats ( although we are inclined to gag ) In simple terms may we say, "Godspeed, dear Drag Hag" Well, this is my version, hope you like it, hmm , her...

"Freddy Flame- Out" The engine coughet and stopped; the overcast could not be topped A mountain suddenly arose, into it went Freddy`s nose The `copters went a`searchin` for our friendly little urchin But alas it was no use Poor Freddy had cooked his goose The fire lit the rocky scene- the sudden stop was awfully mean Fred had forgot to check his tanks Now he`s joined the angel`s ranks. The jet was first sprayed with silver, then from the bottom, with a light blue (all spray can). The balloons are finely sanded Styrofoam balls, attached to pieces of a guitar string. The base is an old picture frame filled with plaster. The rest was painted first with mat black (spray can) and then by hand with Acrylic mat paints (FIN by WACO, great experience). These colors can be diluted with water or abrasion-proof. For the eyes, mouth, teeth, all shiny areas, I cover it with Enamel Paint No.1 by Revell. Well, this is my version, hope you like it.

Are you ready for the Hangman? Only a ghoulish rig like this deserves the rare privilege of getting hitched to a disabled show car or custom street rod. From the wild Cobra mill with dual-quad carbs and velocity stacks to the realistic noose dangling from the towering boom, this raking wrecker is really far out! Antiqued headlights, rooftop spotlights and colorful decals add the finishing touches. Ah yes, the decals... I had, even with this kit, no luck with the decals... Too old glue, or whatever ... I could only install this one, on the roof deck. A black one with a red interior, everyone has... So I changed the colors. Well, the color in these images comes not so right through. (Poor lighting) In nature it is much more intense with metallic effects. I have cut the steering rod, which was a little too high for my taste. I had these wheels lying around, so they came to the mission. The rear suspension, I superseded by right coil springs. Recently I built a taillight, with a red Lego lens on. Here are the pics: Hope, you like it.

I love these small models, the design is great, Tom has done a good job. The only thing I do not like, is this Support, this strange, bulky thing between the base plate and the car (this remains the front in the air / Wheely). There are certainly other solutions. My method is simple (manufacture) and the result is amazing. (my opinion...) All you need are lead balls and super glue. I filled the back- half of the rear wheels and a bit in the trunk. The model is now completely without "support"... Now, I can push it down on the front... ... and by the weight in the back, it even stands up straight again! Hope, you like it...
