I love the 40s Ford This looks very nice. I like the body color and the interior most. That doesn't mean, that the rest isn't good too

This Studebaker looks nice. Love it Have the Studebaker also in my shelf. Painted it a copper metallic after two other paint jobs caused me a little trouble Like to see the place in the display case. Another interesting cars are around. I'm peeking to the rack under the Studebaker's. Those 3 cars (red Impala with the wings, 40s Plymouth, the white 58 Impala (?) with the customized back) looking pretty interesting too

My Ultimate General Lee in 1/25
christian-w replied to Andrew D the Jolly Roger's topic in Model Cars
The underside looks pretty good! Very well done. The engine bay is just awesome! Awesome! All the details are great. Totally my respect for it. Only two things from my point of view: the antenna on the back has a strange position. Sorry, I didn't read the wip thread, if you explained it there. Is the antenna fixed / clamped at the trunk lid? And the hood. It sadly looks like it doesn't close properly. But: with this great looking engine bay, it has to be put away or stand by the car - just be opened to give a look to the engine! This is definitely the master piece of this kit. Great work! Edit: I will go through the wip. Have to see the process of the engine bay. This is so awesome! -

2016 Builds...Let's See 'Em....
christian-w replied to kilrathy10's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Wow! Like this builds! Love the Ford LTL and a little more the Wrecker. Pretty cool ides with the lifted axle. I'm working on the "Can Do" combined with a COE by AMT. My second truck project is the LTL9000 as a dump truck. But there is a way to go.... Last year I accomplished one truck since over 15 years. It is the Revell Peterbilt 259 Conventional (1/25 - #85-1506). I was testing the weathering set by Revell and some other techniques. The fuel tanks are done with Alclad chrome. Some oil in the engines compartment, the rear plate was from a donor kit, some cables and that's it. -
dito! A good one

Show Me Some Hearses!
christian-w replied to Swifster's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I built one a couple years ago. Took the 1934 Ford PickUp (by Lindberg - 1/24 - #72157) ...and combined it with the well known "Boot Hill Express" (Monogram - 1/24 / #PC200) This is, what I created: - lengthened the chassis and fenders to fit to the hears - chopped the drivers cabin - fitted the chassis, axles, engine mounts, interior here and there - did some wiring - 1969 Pontiac Trans Am donated the blower, exhaust and seats - some other part (wheels/rims/steering wheel) from other model kits As a feature I built the pick up optional -
Nice car, Dominik! Sadly the paintjob doesn't come as out as it is in reality. The silver metallic shines through the stripes on the car. Looks like candy. The Camaro with the wide body looks awesome bada$$!

Is this the Galaxy kit? Looks good! -
This is awesome! It looks really realistic. I looked up the link to the built of the KITT (the youtube clips is funny btw ;)) and the trailer. I was astonished when I saw, that you've build the barrels each by hand! Respect.

It was the same issue with the "new" starting ramp & Space Shuttle by Revell. A complete tree was missing. Revell was aware of this problem and sent the missing tree on request. This issue with the "new" little wrecker isn't known here in Germany so far. Why? Because the kit was only sold in the US Funny thing: the scale is stange. I have the little wrecker with the orange stripes (kit #07402 reissue of 2010) an the issue of the dump truck (kit #07523 of 1994). Both basically the Kenworth W900. The dump trucks scale is 1/24 and the wrecker 1/25. But the trees are the same. Definitely. The body's totally the same size and the trees have the same styrene color . So what scale is it in real?
