GSL Common Kit: [revision] just another Model A Roadster
mchook replied to 89AKurt's topic in WIP: Model Cars
This looks like a great project. If it was me, I would use any Revell 1931 Model A sedan kit. Cut off the rear of the body and move it up behind the doors making a cab out of it. This way you get the right year car and alot less work. They use to do this with real cars back in the day too. -
What Are You Planning/Hoping to Build in 2021?
mchook replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have a few that I want to build and actually keep for myself this year. 1) Finish my 62 F100 with lightning running gear 2) 66 Ford wrecker 3) New General Lee (my way) 4) 4x4 VW Bug with toy hauler camper trailer built from a VW bus 5) anything else I have time for & make some money on. -

Great start. I can't wait to see your camper shell. -
Thanks Eric, your right I have rust in my blood. The Model A body was from an old Monogram kit that was built & in rough shape. The roof was cracked in half & glued on crooked. I figured if it's going to be a rough build it might as well look real and rough. Thanks, and thanks to everyone else too for the great comments.

Sweet looking builds!

Thanks for all the great comments. Everyone seems to like my junkers but I really wish I could pull off a nice paint job. Maybe one day but not anytime soon. Thanks again everyone!

1925 Model T pickup

Great job, I love the weathering. I'm a sucker for the Model T and yours tells a little story with the weathered look & old pot belly stove. -
Stepside Trailer
mchook replied to Beau Arthur's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great job, your weathering is nice. I blew a few up myself as a kid but never saved one to rebuild. Great idea with a great memory from your childhood. -
WOW! That looks amazing, great job.

This is really cool! For some reason it reminds me of a custom Mercedes Gullwing. I can't wait to see the end result.
-
Nice street rod, I watched it come together & you banged it out quick.
-
Thanks everyone, I'm sure you guys are getting tired of my weathering but I can't help myself.

I think they're from a Revell 41 Chevy pickup kit. Thanks to everyone for all the great comments.

Back to the 80's (aka the Bodacious Billet Build-off)
mchook replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in Community Builds
I'm thinking about joining in & maybe trying to built something like this. It was running around here back in the 80s and I loved it. I might use a 34 Ford truck kit instead of a Model A. -
That's really cool! I'd love to see it run.

This is one that I got from a friend last year who needed his dryer fixed. It's an original amt kit that wasn't bad but not good. I did my usual worn out look. First 2 pics are before...

Ya, I hate spending money on something I can make, especially when you have to spend 2x as much. The saw is scratch built & 1/24 scale.
