Great work so far! The back end looks like a well used rig.

You are probably better off using a stir stick with Vallejo paints than the mixer though because getting the mixer out without getting paint everywhere is near impossible. I do use the mixer every time with Tamiya and Mr.Hobby jars. If the jars are quite full I put them inside a section of TP tube to keep the paint from getting flung around while withdrawing the mixer.

The Vallejo nozzle is just a press fit and comes out quite easily…after you unscrew the cap. My battery operated mixer doesn’t quite fit so I had to grind the tip down a bit to fit.

Old cars are my favourite modeling subject.

Sorry for your loss Mike.😕

Months flash by like minutes.

Friend….you beat me by a second.

Yeah, I realize that now. I picked it up for $5 since it was a glue bomb….boy was it a glue bomb!😳

From the Ferrari website: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/250-gto REMOVABLE 'D'-SHAPED PANELS All of the examples produced, apart from the ’64-bodied cars, had three removable ‘D’-shaped panels, retained by quarter turn fasteners, on the upper face of the nose, for increased radiator air throughput, the pattern being repeated with three similar uncovered openings in the underside of the nose panel.

Got the engine finished, fabbed up some taillights from red sprue and made a spot for a license plate.

Thanks David.

Why thank you Tim!🙂 I think I remember seeing your ‘31 somewhere while searching for inspirations…very nice!,😎

Years fly by now unlike how they used to drag on back when I was in high school.

It’s even nicer now that it’s finished. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/198346-a-thing-of-beauty/#comment-2981449 https://digital.modernrodding.com/issue/september-2024hs/the-1936-ford-roadster-built-at-rad-rides-by-troy-is-nearing-completion/

I’ll follow along TJ. I have a couple of ‘31 Sedan kits with the opening hood and doors. I’m working on one now but am not using the hood and since I chopped it I gave up on hoping to get the doors working and glued them shut. Interested to see how it turns out.😎

Good info! How does the AMT kit compare? Edit: Oops, quite a different car I see.😬

Looking good!

It’s Purrrty!

Nice progress on this so far Jim! I can’t wait to see what kind of problems you can dream up for it.😜

Cool project Bob! That BBC looks nice and cozy in there.👍😎

Thiss looks like a good place to curl up and hide said the snake with a hiss.

Sorry, just got sidetracked on a couple of other projects. This morning I got back at it. Fabbed up some rear shocks and re-configured the front ones. I was not happy with the attitude of the fronts.😬

You need the back of the sleeper to rear axles distance to match the rear of cab to axles distance on the AMT Wrecker. You may have to mock up both kits to calculate the difference.

It might be just fine. Maybe put it in a nitrile glove or ziplock baggie while shaking it? If it doesn’t spring a leak…use it.

Week six of 2025 and things are not looking any better than the previous year.
