  1. Small update Got the rear suspension all in along with the engine and gearbox mounts. On to making a fuel tank and prop shaft and then sort the front brakes. Thanks for looking Lee
  2. The front suspension is grom Motobitz here in UK. I thought it looked like Mt Torque when I first sat it on its wheels!
  3. Here is my newest WIP. Revell Thames panel van with the chassis cleaned up of the old gasser suspension and then braced up. The rear axle is from a 32 Ford which has been narrowed. The front is a IFS from Motobitz. The wheels and tyres are from the parts box with the rears using the 32 backs. Still got to finish off the rear suspension and then start the engine mounts for the small block Ford I'm using Thanks for looking Lee
  4. I saw the grille and thought it would look great on my WIP
  5. Can I ask where the photo etch grille insert came from?
  6. Thanks for the great comments guys
  7. Here is my first completed build of the year. Testors Chezoom build straight out of the box. Painted Proscale paints GM bright aqua metallic. Nice kit but had a few fit issues near the end. Thanks for looking Lee
  8. Update. All the patterns are now done. Just letting it settle for a bit and then some clear. Thanks for looking Lee
  9. Small update, Got the first stripes down using light gunmetal and metalflake silver. Put a light coat of clear on ready for the next step. Thanks for looking Lee
  10. I use customisable sanding sticks from Ultimate Modelling Products here in the UK
  11. Here is my custom Chevy van. Started by smoothing out the rear and removing the lights and number plate mount and created a new rear light. I then made a new front valence and slightly reduced the size of the grille. opening and making a new grille. I then made it into a short wheelbase version and made the arch extensions and new sills to take the sidepipes. I also made the front spoiler so it connects to the front arches. Now in primer and few spots to sort and then to paint. Thanks for looking Lee
  12. Thanks my first one. Used bits of a glue bomb to in fill the gaps once I had chopped it
  13. Here is my Plymouth Coupe. Built as a curbside with moulded fenders and frenched headlights using 57 Ford rings. The rear lights are 62 Impala. It also has a scale 3 inch chop. Paint is Firecracker red pearl rattle can with Tamiya clear
  14. Thanks Bernard. The zooming are 3d printed. They're Ron Olsens on Shapeways.
  15. Its all paint on the van no decals
  16. Here is my version of the Atlantis Topolino. Quite a bit of modifying parts to get things to fit. I had to make my own pedals and chute mount and rear shocks and mounts. Also modified the front to fit the lever arms instead of tube shocks. I widened the kit rear wheels so I could fit bigger slicks and got some 3d printed 12 spokes for the front. Paint is SMS pearl white base with Tamiya pearl yellow and then SMS Inca gold panels and fogging with the kit decals and then Tamiya clear. I have put a photo of the van that i built for towing it Thanks for looking Lee.
  17. Not sure. I was given a box of bits by my mate and they were in there
