Nosferatu

Very nice! Dave

Beautiful! I love the upgrades. This can be a finicky build with the multiple body parts but this looks great! Dave

Tarantulas are good spiders! They eat many other bugs. I never kill any. I don’t think they eat their mate, but the female Praying Mantis will behead their mate if he doesn’t get out of Dodge quickly!

I saw this hairy female tarantula. I'm sure she's very pretty to another male.

I made this using two VW vans. Dave

I have done rusting a few times and I still have lots of improvements to learn. There are many Youtube videos on rusting. I studied the videos that only used paint, not the salt method. The other area I studied were pictures of desert rusted vehicles in order to understand where the rust forms. In the west the rust forms on the tops and in the east the rust forms on the bottoms and usually eats away the body and door bottoms. First I painted the truck the stock color. I then started with the darker color first. Black, then the oxides, browns. I also mixed some of the colors together. You need to get a few colors that look like different shades of rust and layer it on (its all about layering colors). I applied the colors with a damp sponge and the dry brush method. To dull the factory color paint I used a very thin black wash. For the final rust I used Sophisticated Finishes - Iron Metallic Surfacer and the Rust Antiquing Solution. This iron metallic surfacer uses fine metallic particles and the antiquing solution oxidized the iron particles and is actually rust. I applied this several times is the areas I wanted thicker rust showing. Colors - Black, white, burnt umber, nutmeg, honey brown, red oxide.

Thanks again to all who commented! Dave

Thanks Chris. Steal away! I hope you come up with something cool! Dave

Thanks everyone for all your comments. I'm glad you liked the builds. Dave

Very nice Claude! Excellent work, I love the bubble. Dave

Thanks again for your nice comments! Dave

Very nice! My first car was a 1970 'cuda....but not a hemi. Dave

Nice work! I really like the redline tires! Dave

Thanks for your nice comments. Here is the link to the boat build.

I built the boat (The Illusion) a few years ago but never had a tow car that looked good with it. So, I decided to make one using similar style to the boat. I started with the Lincoln Futura. I cut off the rear and added the rear from a 1958 TBird. I also added the front grill and bumper along with a Corvette hood to match the boat. The paint is a combination of three colors of nail polish. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave

Nice work! I’ve always liked that color on the 442! Dave

This is very nice. A nice way to get around town. It looks like a smaller modified Thing. Dave

Thanks again for the nice comments! Dave

Beautiful job! That color is really really nice! I started working on one the other day. Dave

Thanks again for your kind comments. Dave

Thanks for the nice comments. I’m glad you liked it. It was a fun build. Dave

I finished this about a month ago. I used the rear end from a '40 Ford delivery and added it to the front of a VW bug. I also carved out the front hood and made the grill for the V8 inside. I hope you like it and thanks for looking. Dave

Interesting color combo! Dave

Nice color! This is a cool kit although I don't like the multi piece body. Dave

I made a license plate for a boat hauler I’m making.
