  1. Thanks for the compliments! The grill is from the 454 SS kit. Left it in black plastic and painted the lights, BMF for the trim. This generation Chevy has a different appearance between the parking lights and turn signals. To suggest this I use straight turn signal amber on the vertically stacked lights and mix it with a little chrome silver on the larger horizontal light. BMF applied to the lights first to enhance the transluscent look. The mirrors (and wheels/tires) are from the Monogram Ford Dually. The rear bumper is resin covered in BMF.
  2. A true work of art, two thumbs up!? ?
  3. A fun diversion from more serious builds:
  4. this is an All American Models resin dually kit with bass boat from the Revell "Bass Buster" kit. For what it is worth, the boat seems to be too big. The El Camino that is the tow vehicle in the Bass Buster kit would easily fit on the boat trailer!
  5. that would be a blast to have, a real sleeper for the uninitiated!
  6. Thanks all for the compliments! There is plenty of inspiration from the master modelers on this forum.
  7. thanks all for the compliments! I actually built two of theses side by side. The second was a given as a memorial to Allen Kulwicki.
  8. Tim is a very talented builder! Thanks for sharing Chuck.
  9. Really nice build! Have one of these in the stash, hope that it turns out half as nice ?
  10. There are usually a couple on eBay at reasonable prices.
  11. Love it, excellent build!
  12. Love it! Super clean and realistic build!
  13. While sponsoring Kyle Petty, Mellow Yellow gave away a civilian Hummer. They also briefly considered campaigning a Hummer in NASCAR. The TOW missile launcher would definitely open a hole for passing...or serve as a deterrent to passing...but alas, on all but the shortest tracks. the aerodynamic equivalent of a 3 story outhouse just could not be competitive. Some thought was given to running the body backwards for reduced drag but instead, when the ATF started inquiring about the TOW missile purchases, the project was cut up for scrap.
  14. For the coalition commander who has everything... the "Humm-o-zine" complete with indoor pool!
  15. I picked up an armload of 1/35 Hummer kits on clearance. What to do??? How about striking terror into the armor and NASCAR modelers everywhere... "Mother of all HUMVEEs", the enhanced Mobility Hummer! "EHEMM-ERR"
  16. Thanks for the tip but after multiple attempts with two different web browsers and same result I'm done posting until I can figure it out. Using the exact same process as my posts last week but they worked fine...last two ended up like this, .to paraphrase: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again (on a computer) and expecting the same result!" Update: to post from Photobucket I am now having to post the URL into BOTH the "URL" and "Link Text" boxes
  17. Revell kit with only hoses/wires added:
  18. AMT kit built pretty much from the box with only hoses/wiring added:
  19. Google "Gee Bee QED" a stretched version of the Gee Bee R1/2 which was recently built in full size "tribute" form, (not an exact recreation". This is pretty cool as well!
  20. I work on and maintain vintage aircraft for fun. Even though I have an A& P license this is not how I make my living. I specialize in WACOs, 1936 custom Cabins specifically. I have one of these as a restoration project. Told the wife it was a 10 year project...thank God that I didn't tell her from when! http:// 1936 Waco ZQC-6 Custom Cabin - art deco cool and if you get cold, just roll up the windows and turn on the cabin heat! WACOs.
  21. Thanks for the compliments everyone! I have a Peterbilt tractor and lowboy trailer under construction to go with it. Will post these when they are done.
  22. Sweet! Super nice build
  23. Plenty of room Charles and it is kind of bare back there. I intended to build a pair of boots to put on the rear step but never got around to it.
