  1. I scratch built the Weaver auto crane, tool box & added a few details to the engine. Thanks for looking.
  2. I use this all the time. I found that if you use the solution sparingly, put it in a zip lock bag & let it sit a few hours or overnight you get the beat results. Good luck with it, it's lots of fun to use. Here's my latest using this stuff.
  3. Thanks guys. I guess it could go either way. It's bad enough to be junk but good enough to still use. I got the adjustable tow bar built & it's about finished. I'll get some better pics later & post them under glass. Thanks again everyone for the comments.
  4. I got the engine almost finished & some interior work done.
  5. I'm finally back to work so I'm driving this again.?
  6. I got a little paint & weathering started. Working on the engine now.
  7. Great weathering, very realistic.
  8. Great weathering on the Gremlin. I like your old barn too, very convincing.
  9. Thanks guys.
  10. I got the email too and was surprised. I went to the website & can't sign in. Maybe the site will die with the magazine?
  11. Thanks everyone for all the great comments. That actually sounds like something that we could do. I could send you a rotten body & you send me a clean paint job, build them & post them here.
  12. Hi Hans, I found the rear wheels in my parts box I think they're from a diecast. The gears for the crane are from an old pull & go toy car that I took apart. The rest is all styrene. I don't have any plans, I'm just winging it from internet photos. Thanks, Mark
  13. I just finished my Model A coupe & I had the original chassis sitting there. So I started digging & found enough parts to put this truck together. I'm building a Weaver Auto Crane for it too. This is what I've got so far.
  14. It has a scratch built chassis, chopped top & Mopar power. I can't seem to do anything other than rusty & rotten.
  15. Finished it up the other day, I'll add some pics under glass soon.
  16. Great job, I love everything about it.
  17. Thanks guys. I got some paint, interior & exhaust work finished.
  18. Thanks guys, I'm going with the Cragars. I worked on the floor today.
  19. Wow that's nice Tom! I want one but don"t have a brook on my land.
  20. Started this old Model A kit, I scratch built the frame (first for me), chopped the top & found a big mopar for it. I can't decide which wheels & tires to use. Love to hear your choices...
  21. I entered the Desert Scale Classic virtual show & was shocked to learn I too got something for my old Willys wrecker. This is the first contest I entered in about 30 years, it was fun & easy. Thanks to everyone that had something to do with this great experience.
  22. Congrats! Your Olds is the best ever built, absolutely beautiful.
  23. Hey Dave, they're about 3" tall without their stand. Yea the one has some badly molded hands. They do have 5 fingers but 2 are together so they look weird.
  24. I found these at the dollar store & repainted them. The soccer player got a decal on her shirt, sanded off her shin guards & an old wheel replacing her ball. Just a fun, cheap & easy addition to the shop.
