Great stuff Pat,,looked like a good time,,neat pics ,''Little Red Deora'' ? :idea:

That came out real good Brian..flames look great.

Very cool Matt , gonna be sharp in miniature..

Thats some really cool tire details, did you make your own tire tags? Nice work.

I like the idea Curt and think that chevy will pull it off nicely , and enjoyed Steves build too, looks great...

A couple extra days off work and this ones done: The exhaust is made from a run of sprue bent with a heat gun and pin fit , kick stand that came with the kit would not hold it up , so made one from an old axle painted black. The mirror is made from thin plastic cut out with a paper punch and the bare metal face was cut out the same way and glued on.The top shield on the headlight is made from a press on fingernail and molded in. The springer is a 1/12th die-cast item , the handle bars are K & S brass tube, seat studs are small pin heads cut short. The cables are 20 gauge black and or silver wire , holding them to the frame are pieces on photo etch tree . The engine was de-chromed and painted silver with black wash in the fins. The tank is from another bike lowered and made wider up front. Color is Dupli-color medium metalic red with Dupli-color top coat clear.I noticed I forgot the clutch cable but I'm not writing this over again, I'll add it later.

Kenny , thats super sharp , I really like that one..

Thanks to all..Ben its Dupli-color Garnett medium metallic if I remember right..cleared with Dupli-color top coat. I should have it done today...the exhaust pipes are the hold up , I dont really like the ones in the kit , trying to modify something but im kinda stuck.. :?: :idea:

Thats a neat twist for an AWB , looks great , and welcome to the ''Forum''

Reading the different thoughts on grails and collections for the purpose of building every kit got me to thinking , 'When do you have enough' . I've been moving everything to the basement and building racks for two days and figured out at 1 kit a week at age 52 , I need to finish the last one at age 71 1/2 , and thats if I quit buying now , and since my rate of build is 5 a year , and that will make me 252 years old :shock: . I love the re-issues , that saves my originals, but buying them only puts me further behind . Who am I kidding , I'll keep buying kits and building shelves , and make plans for each and every kit . Now I need a place to put the completed ones.

Looks pretty good Ron....I love that series Revell is doing , and like seeing what others do with theirs..

Craftsman 25 gallon, with a regulator set up for [2] lines , thats why you see the two gauges ...but it sounds like a Panzer attack when its running... .since bought a 2 gallon for 50 bucks , it works nice and its more compact , run only 1 line with a plastic water trap filter...

Thats some kind of scratch building , complete 4 stroke engine WOW !!!!

No mufflers , no air-cleaner , so direct intake & exhaust improoved horse-pressure..........

Your work is remarkable Jeff , good workmanship will always have a following...

Thats a ''HOT'' looking Willys...great job Tom

Now thats nice lookin....

Ken there is a set in the '65 Riv kit , not as nice as the ones from R & M of Maryland but they are finned....

The 'CA' I use comes in thin, medium, or thick and has various curing times 5 to 15 seconds on the medium , which is what I use . Refrain from using on clear parts , it tends to frost up. Plastruct and Pro-weld are the utility glues...and Hobby Lobby 5 minute epoxy 2 part only becauase I like the containers, they are easy to use without mess and elmers or testors window maker for clear parts and a bottle clear finish for photo-etch parts..

That looks great Matt , that hood looks cool...

Keep it as is Ken...looks super, great work..

Thanks Matt, bars are K & S brass tubes I had the aluminum ones made up and polished , but I like the painted ones better..

Had to start doin some work on this one again, its been awhile but I got it in paint. De-chromed the block and painted silver, leaving just the top covers in chrome. Studded the seat , de-chromed the light and added a visor, this will also be body color. This is just a quick mock up , nothing cemented in yet...the studs photograph odd, made them out of small pin-heads , they look like they need to be pushed in a little more.......

Cool build Craig... builds up pretty nice..I'll have to grab me one or two next hobby-shop stop...

Cool pics Mike, that ''shoe-box'' Ford gasser is nicely done so far...and welcome to Model Car Forum.....
