B-Ram

Just finished the Revell Foose Ford Pickup. Nice kit. The model went together without any problems. The body color is Tamiya Orange TS-12 and the interior is Testors Flat Light Aircraft Gray 1233.

Getting a little more work done on the Nova. I got the rear end to sit a little lower. Also, doing some work on the motor. Bill

Quick note. I have found that so far every edge has flash and needs to be cleaned up. Also, the parts fit is not very good. This is the second AMT kit that I have built that needs this attention. Nothing that can't be taken care of, just a little more work. With all of the build options, you can build a nice model. Bill

Nice looking work Allen. Bill

Hi Mike, Glad I can add some useful information. Bill

Starting with the cab. So far there has been a lot of flash to clean. The cab is made in five pieces. The fit has not been very good. The mating faces just sit together, so I have glued each face together separately using clamps. Bill

Hey guys, Well I am off to my next adventure. I am going to build the AMT Fruitwagon. The kit has a lot options.I am going to build it like the fruit wagon version, but I am leaving the fruit out. Bill

Hey Guys, Thanks for the input. This is a learning process for me. I love cars, but I don't know much about them. So I hope to learn as I move forward. Gene: For the paint, I looked at a lot pictures of early rails and to me it looked like most of the ones that i saw did not have a gloss paint job. I used a matt finish. I agree It looks too flat. Brad: I messed up on the exhausts. I glued the block and the cylinder heads together before I noticed that the exhaust has to be inserted before you glue the heads and block together. I am learning that I need to look forward when building. Hopefully, as I gain experience, I will get better at building. Also, when I do a build thread, I will add more pictures along the way. Again, thanks for the input and please continue to add your thoughts and suggestions. Now I am off to my next build. Thanks, Bill

For the most part she is finished. Just need to add some plumbing and a few other things. Bill

Very cool. Great work.

Those are some pretty good plans for the year. It will be cool to do a recap at the end of the year to see how tings turned out. Bill

Hey Rob, Those are some nice builds you have going. Bill

Sealed concrete works great for me. Bill

It has been taking about two months to finish a model. Bill

Growing up in Tampa Florida, I had a hobby shop right by my house. It was "Hans Hobby Shop ". Lots of people thought it was named after the owner, but Hans was his dog. Bill

I build in my garage. I use the same area to build models and scale R/C airplanes. Bill

Hey everyone. What are your 2016 building plans. My plans are to start building the custom show cars of the 1960's. Cars like the ones Ed Roth built. As a kid in the 60's, I did not have the skills or the money to buy them. Mowing yards did not support models and slot cars. Most of my money went to slot cars. Bill

Cool. Brings back a lot of memories.

Very cool builds.

Looks great

Not a lot left to do other than paint the body. I paint outside, so I am going to wait for warmer weather. I'm in Florida, so I like to have the temperature above 70 deg. Bill

Great work. They are all cool. I would love to see how you made the Kindig It Design.

With the holiday things finally over, had some time to work on the rail. Bill

Like it. Great work.

Nice work. I love the Vespa.
