Here's another one I did. Based on the old MPC Barnabas Vampire Van.

Here's mine.

I have never been a fan of this kit seeing it as a source for parts only. This build makes me want to build one now. I really like the way you've done this one. Great Job!

WOW what can I add that hasn't already been said. I know are you willing to share the files so those of us that have 3D printers can try it ourselves? if so I'd be interested in giving it a try.

I have my doubts about the 41 Woody. The shape along the top edge is more rounded that on the 37. I've been considering a similar conversion myself. I think the Monogram 30 Model A woody might be a better place to start. Also there is a 37 Cabriolet available which should make the job easier too.

Ford used the essentially the same bed with minor changes from 53 through the late 70's. IMHO the best kit to use for this conversion if the AMT 53 F100.

Nice build. My daily driver is a 2006 STS-4 so I did much the same as this one. I used the wheels from the Cadillac pickup as they closely matched what i have on my car. i also used the grille from the pickup as I don't have the V version. http://public.fotki.com/KenK/my_models/models_of_11_cars/2006-cadillac-sts/

Just to clarify, I cast the grille parts to convert the 48 to a 42. Otherwise they are pretty much the same.

Try Tamiya Smoke. It works very well as a black wash. it flows smoothly and levels well. Plus it's acrylic and can be cleaned up with water.

Aaron, Glad you showed up last night. If you have any questions you can always contact me at: kitchen_table_resins@yahoo.com I'll be glad to help. Looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting on Feb. 9th. Ken

Aaron, FRAM's next meeting at Hobby Town will be Tuesday January 26th. We meet from about 5:30 until closing which is 8:00. Hope to see you there. Ken

These guys are right. FRAM is a Colorado Springs group. We've been around since the late 90's. We meet the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month at Hobby Town south in the Citadel shopping center. The next meeting there will be on the 12th of January. the guys typically start showing up around 5:30 and it runs until closing time. There's no real organization or structure, it's more of a build 'n' bull type format. Bring something to work on or to show or both. And as they stated I can be reached at kitchen_table_resins@yahoo.com Ken

Jim, welcome I'm more of a lurker on this board as I don't post often but I do check it on a pretty regular basis. Just so that you know we do have a small club in Colorado Springs. it's call the Front Range Auto Modelers (FRAM). We meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at the south Hobby Town near the Citadel Mall. The meetings generally start around 5:30 - 6:00 and run until the store closes at 8:00. We're an informal group it's more of a build and bull atmosphere with no formality of any kind. The next meeting is the 22nd of December. Please stop by if you can and bring something to work on or talk about.

I understand your concern, however try and see it from my perspective, I have to cover the cost of the postage, the envelope, my time, and the fuel to drive to the P.O. I might be able to cut it to $3.50 but $1.50 is out of the question.

Well it's based on a 3M product but I produce these myself they are not available anywhere else.

Here is a new product that I'm offering it’s a round sanding stick. These are an exclusive product offered by Kitchen Table Resins. They come in a set of 3. The sizes are approximately 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 inch. They are also available in 2 grits (220 and 320). Both sets are usable wet or dry. These are great for getting at the spot that a normal flat sanding stick just can't quite reach. I'm asking 7.99 for a set of 3 plus $5.00 S&H in the U.S.

I have the reference pix you're looking for. I ran across this vehicle in Woodland Park, Colorado 7 or 8 years ago. This is a model TT but it does show they are out there. Here's a link to the album. http://public.fotki.com/KenK/my_models/misc/model-ts-for-anthony/

Who knew Vampires liked camping.

Bryan, Stop by Hobby Town south. The Front Range Auto Modelers (FRAM) meets there on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday's of the month. The next meeting is on Feb 24th. Meetings typically start around 5:30 or so and run until 8:00PM. it's like a build & bull. Just building & talking. Ken

I want to play too. Kitchen Table Resins kitchen_table_resins@yahoo.com Pics of my stuff can be seen on Fotki at: http://public.fotki.com/KenK/kitchen_table_resin_kits/ I specialize in engine kits. I offer every Ford straight 6 engine from 1941 through the 90's. I also have the Pontiac Flathead Straight 8, the Buick OHV Straight 8 and the Oldmobile flathead Big 6. Thanks, Ken

Sounds like my miserable ex-wife whenever we went on a roadtrip.

I don't have a pic of one built up but here's a pic of the raw resin parts:

I seem to remember someone writing an article in one of the Model Mags a few years ago on those L700 Dodges. If I remember correctly it had some pretty good info on how to stretch the chassis and what the various wheel bases were. Now if only I could remember who did it. Oh yeah it was Model Car's Mag. Check the Jan 2009 issue 138.
