Nosferatu

I saw this video on YouTube and decided to give it a shot. I thought this Tankenstein was very unique and cool looking. It will also get you thru any traffic jam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NKrF6uxuFU I sat for about an hour and took a 1953 Ford pickup and cut off the bottom. I used an old tank chassis and altered it. I still need to do some more altering. I want to lower the height of the treads and cut the front of the rear fender so it wraps around the tread wheel like the front. I may shorten the bed. Everything needs to be tightened up. This is just a very loose mockup I also am trying to come up with a name for this. Thanks for looking Dave

I hope to be there. Dave

Here's a few of mine.

I spend between a half hour (gluing a few pieces that need time to dry) to 2 hours. depending on what I have to do. For the past 5-6 models I have been logging my time for each build. I build custom models so they usually take lots of hours to complete. This way I know how long each project takes.

Great post! My favorites are Obscured By Clouds and Animals. They did a sound track for the movie MORE, on it is a decent song called Ibiza Bar. I think this came out before Dark Side of The Moon.

Wow! Your attention to detail is amazing! Lots to look at down to the tiniest item. Dave

Absolutely beautiful work! This is the best Corvette model I've ever seen! Dave

Thanks for the video!! I really miss going to this show. I went for many years until I moved to Arizona. I hope Len is still there. Dave

Beautiful work! Nice colors. I love the interior. Glad you showed it separately. Dave

Thank you for all your kind comments. This was a fun and challenging build. Dave

Thanks for all your nice comments. I’m glad you like it. Dave

I had this in the WIP section under 1939 Ford Tow Truck. I found the box from the model and noticed it is a 1937 Ford pickup not a 1939 as I thought, so sorry about the misinformation. Well, I had finished it a few weeks ago but just took some pics. I had explained all the scratch building and modifications in the WIP. I made the boom from 40 pieces of flat styrene and a few other parts. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave

It just keeps looking better! Amazing detail! Do you know how many hours you put into this? Dave

This came out great! The colors go nice together. Dave

WOW!!! Beautiful work! Very realistic looking and the pics are amazing! Dave

Thanks for all your nice comments. Dave

Thanks Street Rod!!

Thank 70 Sting. I will look into the anti static brush.

The Black Widow I recently dug this one out of a moving box that I built several years ago. I started with Big Daddy Roth’s Beatnik Bandit. I removed the front fenders. I then scratch built the front grill housing, headlights and added the grill. I also made the rear tail lights from red sprue, which I sanded and polished. The seats came from the Lil Coffin and the dash from the Ice Cream Truck. The tires, wheels, engine and exhaust came from the parts box. Painted rattlecan black and lacquered. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. I am open for suggestions on how to remove the dust. I had just cleaned the model before I took the pics. Dave

Good to have you here Ronald! I recently moved to Arizona from Hunterdon County NJ. There are two nice model shows. Look for the Super September Showdown in Boyertown, PA - https://autocarshow.events/carshows/super-september-showdown/ I've been going there for many years. Also NNL East in Wayne NJ. This is a great show! I really miss going to these shows. There is also a huge car show in Macungie, Pa every August. In fact its this August 14th. https://happeningnext.com/event/46th-annual-collector-car-show-andamp-flea-market-eid3a08m05wvw Happy modelling! Dave

Thanks Pat! That must have been quite an experience servicing the pumpjacks there. Dave

Good question! The TD van has been originally altered in quite a few ways. I may alter the trailer side door windows to match the TD van. Neither the tow van nor the trailer will have front doors.

Thanks The handrails are solid styrene rods and the mounts are tubing that I sanded down. I drilled holes in the bed edge and slid the rod inside.

Beautiful work! Perfect paint and great interior. Dave
