Nosferatu

Beautiful work! Dave

Thanks for the nice comments. Dave

I had an urge to build something that crawls thru the sand. I started with Tom Daniel’s Ice Tee. I like this body style and thought it would make a great dune-type buggy. I rounded the cab to a C cab and cleaned up some of the angles on the body. I then cut out the body where the engine would go and put in some styrene. I found an airplane cockpit glass and carved it for the fuel tank (not shown). I also scratched built all the suspension including winding the front springs. The rear springs came from an old computer CPU. I will be using a Corvair 6 cylinder for the power train. I found these giant tires on a toy I got from a thrift shop. The front tires and wheels came from a mini bike with a larger scale but I thought they looked good on the vehicle. The seat section of the interior came from the Lincoln Futura. I made a hinged rear gate. Inside the back I put a tool box, fire extinguisher, a shovel and a cooler. The dash is from a Corvair. I found a winch for the front and used a fine picture hanging wire for the cable. Also added Diamond plating in the interior. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave.

I found these at the Goodwill in Prescott Valley yesterday. With senior discount I paid $8.25. The Porsche is still in the plastic bags. Dave

You can definitely save this one. As the others stated, strip it and start from there. Gather reference pics and lots of putty. Also if you get into a jam there is this forum with many many years of model building experience at your fingertips. I was able to save this Lincoln. From this - To this!

Thanks for your nice comments. I have finished the build and need to take pics. Dave

This was a great show! I always look forward to attending this one. Dave

Beautiful work and fantastic detail! Dave

I started with the Ford F100 kit with trailer. This is a really nice kit with lots of chrome. I was originally going to build it all stock but that didn’t last long. I ended up shortening the bed, chassis and the trailer. I also altered the trailer. I am going to two tone it burnt orange and silver. I couldn’t just have an empty trailer so I decided to build a trike for it. I’m not sure where the trike body came from but I think it’s some toy I got many years ago. It was originally a car. I narrowed it and cut off the front, then I built a frame. I used a shortened fork from the Tiki trike and a scratch built seat frame along with some wheels and tires from the parts box. I’m keeping the Honda 4 engine. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave

Very nice weathering! Both trucks have the perfect look. I especially like the leaves in the bed of the plow truck, nice detail! Dave

Nice work Pat! I like all the angles and the wheels. Keep up the nice work! Dave

Thanks for all your kind comments! I still haven't made up my mind on the color but I like all your suggestions. Dave

That is looking great!! love that color! Dave

Is that why I'm like this? Dave

I remember the old Good Humor ice cream trucks from my childhood and thought they were cool looking. After studying a few pics I started this one. It came from a 1940 Ford delivery that I used the rear delivery body part for another build. I had the cab and the chassis left and it fit the bill perfectly. I extended the cab slightly and scratch built the box from sheet styrene and tubing. Then I removed the cab roof but left the windshield frame. I'm not sure about the color yet. I know the usual color is white but I need it to be different. I think I'm going with the wheels in the last picture. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. All constructive criticism welcome. More to come. Dave

Excellent work! The detail is amazing. Dave

Thanks for all you nice comments! Dave

Thanks for the reviews! Dave

Has anyone ever dealt with ST Supply? Are they reputable? I see they have a nice assortment of truck tires and wheels. https://stsupplyco.com/ Thanks, Dave

Beautiful weathering! Some of the best I've seen! Dave

Nice work! What did you use for the pipes in the rack on the side? Dave

Beautifully weathered look! Dave

Beautiful! That is the perfect color for this model! Dave

Toyota Van Ice Maker Illuminated Tires Not only did Goodyear’s engineers develop a translucent tire in 1960, but it was also able to be dyed multiple colors as well.

I sold my Honda CRV for this 2024 GT....its a lot more fun!! Dave
