Nosferatu

So many awesome mock-ups here! I did finish this one but here is the mock-up. I started with a Dish network remote.

Nice thread! I started this one using an old garden cylinder sprinkler, the cab from the Garbage Truck, the front of a GTO and the rear from a '58 T-Bird. I have since done some more work but its not finished yet. It's sort of a cartoonish model.

I am soooo looking forward to going to this!! I recently moved here from NJ and I really miss NNL East.

You can see the finished build here -

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. This build is on hold right now as I need to come up with a paint scheme.

I love the colors Pat. What a nice build!

Thanks for all your nice comments. I know that this vehicle may not be able to be a real car as I had to alter some features to make it look good. The front tires are tight and if it were a real vehicle it wouldn't turn without hitting the body but I used my artistic license on it. I had fun building it. As far as the color goes it was a happy accident. I started with one color that looked blue in the container but it didn't come out the same blue so I went on to a couple other colors. Somehow it became color changing. I would have preferred a lighter blue but I do like the color change so I decided to keep it.

This is my first complete build since moving to Arizona 4 months ago. I'm looking forward to more! A frankenstein build combining a Jeep and monster tires and wheels. I added the beach-surf scene and flowered the seats, cooler and surfboard. I had this in the WIP but finished it.

Two more beauties Pat. Nice work!

Nice work! I love sedan deliveries!

WOW! This is some really nice work! I didn't realize that this model could be that cool!

Nice work on this van. I like the color. I remember quite a few of these on the road back in the day.

Beautiful work! As it was mentioned nice work on the wood.

Very nice work! It looks real. I have a couple of these as glue bombs.

That would be cool!

Thanks guys! I finally got it painted. We recently moved across country from NJ to AZ and I thought lost my airbrush. after tearing things apart I finally found it. I tried different colors of nail polish and somehow got this color. I wanted the vehicle blue after its name - The Blue Crab. Its a color change combination of about 3 different color nail polishes. I'm still working on the surfboard colors. I think they will compliment the blue. More to come! Thanks for looking! Dave

Nice work Pat! I like the creamsickle color and the nice touch on the wheels and valve covers. This reminds me that I built one years ago. I think its buried in a box somewhere. Dave

I recently moved to Arizona and was wondering if there are any model shows or model swap meets here. Dave

This is looking awesome! I like the dash details and that color pops!

Did a bit more work on this project. I made exhaust pipes from inserting an aluminum piece of wire into a plastic tubing and bending it to fit. I left an end of the wire sticking out of the tube to be able to connect to the cylinder after drilling a hole in the cylinder. I finished the front forks and springs and chromed them. All the body parts are made but I have to figure out the color. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments! I put some time into the wheels so I think I'm going with the shiny look......I think...

I had this idea brewing for a few months so I decided to make it happen. I built this Jeep many years ago. I also had these monster truck tires in my tire box. So I thought I would combine them for a low riding Jeep. I know monster trucks are real high but I liked this to be low. I carved off the fenders front and back. I then decided to make a roof in a "C" cab form. Then I decided to add a surfboard. So I scratch built one for the roof. I didn't like the flat Jeep dashboard so I took two old Vette dashs and combined them with an extension so it would span the distance. I liked the grab bar for the passenger. That's all I have so far. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. All constructive criticism is welcome. Dave

thanks to all of you for the kind comments. I started working on the seat. The springs are made and now I will form it pad it and cover it.

Thanks again for all your nice comments!

Beautiful! Nice clean work. Perfect amount of customizing.
