  1. Nice to see the old squeeze tube glue we all of a certain age used at one time along with the bottle paints. Great period shot
  2. Glad you're back on the bench. If there ever was a golden age of modeling,this is it. There are means of research and inspirational information we could never have imagined a few decades ago. Now go forth and create all those cars that have been rattling around in your head!
  3. I parked next to a fuelie '57 Chevy at Wal-Mart yesterday. I'm betting it's in the garage today since we're in the middle of a snow storm with 5" on the ground so far.
  4. That might be what it was. I had to get too close just to figure out what the brand badge was. The model designation script was chrome on a white car but it did start with the letters S and T son I'm sure you are correct.
  5. That line art work is really neat showing the whole rig in comparison to an average post apocalyptic humanoid and listing the dimensions. Very cool and adds to the interest of this project.
  6. This might be an inexpensive source of parts for post apocalyptic or mad max build parts.
  7. Great stuff. I love the level of realism that some builders are able to achieve. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Definitely an out-of-box build. Great creativity and attention to detail. Love the lights out photos. Thanks for sharing.
  9. A massive project for sure. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

    32 Highboy

    Smooth and timeless classic build. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Not in my wheelhouse but does fit into another niche I like.....low,black and fast. Thanks for sharing.
  12. If you're building stuff that you've never done before you might want to consider adding a tank truck to your livery and use the label from one of your flat black rattle cans for the graphics on the side. Nothing says committed like a 1,000 gallon tank truck load of your color of choice. Glad you're continuing to build what you like. Thanks for explaining it all here for us to share.
  13. Great model of an unusual car. Thanks for posting this one.
  14. Beautiful builds all around,you should be proud to add these to your livery. If I were picking favorite it would be the '32. Simply beautiful with smack on details. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Simply flat out gorgeous!
  16. Simply an amazing project! A pleasure to watch develop.Thanks for sharing your OCD with us.
  17. This might be the only model on the forums where the exterior sheet metal is anywhere near true scale thickness..
  18. Loving the latest color choice for the body. Using a single color seems to unify the project as a whole. I know exactly what you mean by scrounging your parts bins for usable bits. I have three big drawers full of them marked "gizmos" that I'm ways rooting through hoping to find what I need. When I don't find it I make it just like you do. Keep posting these great photos please.
  19. Kudos om having the "eye" to recognize and adapt the correct shapes you need to fit the panels in this project from a wide variety of model subjects. Looking very smooth. Thanks for sharing.
  20. If I remember correctly the hand gun on the real truck was on the center console along with some shotgun shells in a custom holder. That sounds odd until you find out that those shells were used to start those radial engines when they were still in the aircraft they were built for.
  21. I,love the sheer complexity of the undercarriage assembly!
  22. Yep,what he said. That complements the digital caliper with figuring how much is half of some number you can't do in your head(almost any number for me)!
  23. I recommend buying a digital caliper from Harbor Freight to measure accurately and help keep things even and square. They are less than $ 10.00 and I use mine almost every time I'm at my workbench.
  24. I like the way this finished. Very swoopy with more than a little art deco influences in it's DNA. Some of the rear views remind me of the Packard and Nash fastbacks from the late 1940's.Thanks for sharing.
