BUMP I was digging through my spare parts, looking for pieces for a build of something like this...

Well done, clean build and a great color too!

But isn't that what scratch building is all about! Hang in there and keep on fabbing.

Thank you for the interest and comments.

These look good, would like to see more of them.

Yes I did! And you are the winner being the first to catch it.

Thank you very much, guys!

Definition: A mischievous or playful trick, I built and sold this one some time ago. I wanted an older un-polished look but still look like a proper Hot Rod. Mostly dry brushing, powders and water color. The engine is PB pieces with the intake from a Woody's kit. Also tried to make some welds. I think there is a company that has resin welds, they look better. I should have put some BMF behind the tail lights. The roof cover is tissue and white glue, then colored. I may have to do another rusty soon...

Looks real good Carl, you must keep it packed away to still be that clean.

​Another shiny beauty Carl, well done.

WELL DONE, Sean. Looks to good to rub fenders with anyone. Great looking team by the way.

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed this one myself.

Sounds Great Jim! Can't wait to see it.

SMOOTH!

Ya gotta love those PB builds. Nicely done.

Thanks Greg, can't wait to see what you come up with.

Getting ever closer to some paint. Made some tail lights from aluminium tube and red plastic. Not finished with the mounting but I kinda like the Tweety Pie grill. A little more fitting and sanding and it'll be ready for primer.

There's no surf in Cleveland, but here's a few more pictures. Thanks again for the kind words.

Very well done Ira, Nice and Smooth! Are the Tribal Stripes painted or decal?

Thanks! No, Airbrushed the red first then cut some thin Tamiya tape and followed the edge, masked it off again then shot the blue. Yes it did. And thank you!

Thanks guys! The tires are from Plastic Performance Products, they make a lot of short track items. You can do a search to find your best supplier.

Very Nice!

Just finished up today. Revell kits including parts from the R@t Roadster, five window and sedan. Some PPP Asphalt tires out back with Garlit wheels, Ohio George wheels and tires up front. Blue tape seat belts and Detail Master buckles, blue flock on the floor. Black and blue water color wash and Tamiya paint on the the rest. Scratch made roof rack. Had a little set back with the decals, but Shardik came through for me in a big way, Thanks Johann! Here is a link to the build... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72319 And as always thanks for viewing! J2

Was able to finish this one this afternoon, view in "Under Glass"

That's because it's plastic! Thanks for the interest and comments....
