JUNK-MAN

Built these a month or two ago and I'm finally posting it.

I know, I know, I wasn't trying to make it exact just a cool, quick little build.

Yes, It is meant that way as though the tiers have fallen off the rims as a result of siting for a long time.

Here's another finished one, all comments welcome.

Well, first used a rust colored primer and striped the paint were I wanted it rusty then put on a thin layer brown craft paint and used homemade rust powder on that.

I don't know, All I know is its the one molded in blue.

Another good ol' ford.

Finally finished this of up last night, sorry only the one pic.

What have you guys' experiences been with her customer service? I need a few parts for my '71 Ford kit that I lost/broke, is it anything like Revell? Thanks!

Hey I know this is an old thread but is this homemade or an actual kit?

I thought the same thing.

There is a small tap molded into the cowl

Here's some larger pics

Started this yesterday and just finished it up a few hours ago.

Awesome!

That is awesome! Great work!

That is awesome!!! Looks like the real thing, I wish I could do stuff like that.

Nice work!

Hey Darrell! That last pic you posted, Do you have a link of some sort to a story and more pics? I might end up having to buy one of those kits now!!

Beautiful work so far, I'll have to check my local hobby store for that color that would look great on an Impala I'm working on.

No, pics yet. I painted it today but the rattle can job didn't turn out sooo, when I can get to the local dollar store, I'm going to get a couple bottles of DOT-3 and a plastic tote and see how that paint stripping technique works for me, How does it work for you guys? Good? Bad? I got 75% of the motor dome but I didn't get pics of it. In all I'm pretty disappointed in the kit for several reasons Here are the bad things first: The exhaust, Suspension and driver shat are molded into the chassis, the front axel goes through the motor and lastly, No radiator hoses!!?? Now the good: decent body and interior detail, nice Mag wheels/ Goodyear tires. I plan to paint it burgundy and put alot of the street rod parts along with trying to find radiator hoses. Thanks, any suggestions welcome!

Nice truck! Very good weathering.

So what do you pro modelers use to get all the paint of a model car fairly quick and with no damage to the plastic? I have several builds I've given up on do to a bad paint job, It boils down to that I don't have enough hours in a day (nor enough patience) to sand a car completely down. I want something that maybe will take the paint down enough to take of with regular thinner or take off all of it in itself . I once thought mineral spirits but I haven't dared to try it yet. Any suggestions are appreciated, Thanks!

Very nice work! Weathering and details are spot on, I can't wait to see it done.
