Race of Gentlemen presents... California Drag Racing 2023 Build Thread
Ulf replied to Calb56's topic in Community Builds
I've been thinking about colors that you see, maybe pale pink instead of the turquoise and blue ? There are similarites in the design. Yes, I’ve ”built” the pig and yes it’s airbrushed. Merry Christmas ! -

Thank you. I went to my part boxes(not many enuff) and I found the most important parts for my vision. Please tell me if any parts is wrong, I have not read the rules in detail yet. yes, I’m an AMT-fanboy ! Added a picture of my photo album, I took those pictures 1991. I want that steelfeeling. -

My dream pattern maker. See image and link. If any manufacturer is finally going to make a Harley on par with the car kit discussions at MCMF, my tip is to let Peter do the master. Peter whom I never met as far as I know or remember was our hero in the 80's with his then Knuclehead. It's fun that Revell is releasing their LA Street chopper again but unfortunately a lot is wrong if you're going to put the level on this forum's level ? The frame is a converted Dou Glide or Electra Glide frame and the front end is a VL springer. I have never seen an extended one, I doubt they can even be extended. Peter is not only a skilled mechanic and woodcarver, he has an absolute eye for the right parts,pieces and stance. Motorcycle models are difficult, it is about tenths of a millimeter and the the knowledge of the parts and is less mentioned and rewritten are racing cars and the Ford 32 https://auctionet.com/sv/2171603-harley-davidson-knucklehead-chopper-unik/images

Brilliant and unexpected, a true legacy marking. Looks great. -
Because I don't know much about this industry
Ulf replied to noname's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yeah, I'm also tired of Hemis,give me a 318. To quote Tim Boyd, "I was told that 1960's era drag racing kits are among the hottest selling kit topics these days, surpassed only by 1960's/70's pickup kits." I belive that the fact that pickup kits sell so well is enough because many people want to build simple cars that can be varied in a different way than, for example, unique Hemi cars. Another quote from this forum, Four door modeling is the salt and sugar of modeling, I agree. -

Current building techniques
Ulf replied to Bobjernigan3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have always been happy when others built fantastically, I myself have built for my own joy and relaxation. For the past thirty years, I have worked hard with real estate projects and received my dose of demands where model building has been rather unambitious, maybe that will change when I retire. In general, I think that work and family life are more demanding today than 20-30 years ago, there are fewer people who can just let go and go home from work to the plastic workshop. -
OMG, some people dream of going to Bonneville, have a hot rod, fine. My dream is to see a free Lynx. Where in the world do you live ?

How much time do you spend at a modeling session?
Ulf replied to Joe Nunes's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Everything from a few minutes to hours in pursuit of what I'm really chasing, nirvana, flow when I forget time and space. Sometimes I reach this state and it is always just as wonderful. This summer, my wife saw how I got there when I was sitting in our little former guest cabin at the summer house and she really spoils me for these moments Good strategy and planning for construction evenings when my wife has some commitment makes room for this -
Yes, I have preferences. I'm an AMT fanboy and I like metal axles, the kit must be old or rather preferably so old that it is Made in the USA. I studied the year the kit is made lika a wine connoisseur. Actually, it's probably a pressure because I would prefer to build Jo-han, but supply and cost make it impossible. I stick strictly to 1/25 scale, by the way and one of the few issues I've managed to be at least almost consistent throughout my life.. So, AMT made in USA 1/25 with the wheels in the right place kit bash fun parts.

Unbelievable, my nearest styrene dealer(Stockholm) got it a fortnight ago. It must be a historic moment. Usually we read about what you can buy i the shop years before we do.

Bases, stands and presentation
Ulf replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I work from time to time with this one, which is meant to be general because I only have room for one car in the cabinet. The fact that the car is on a black or at least dark gray surface makes the model look more like a car and not a model. -

Fun projekt, the seat in the other direction looks good as a matter of course. -
*Mint Turquoise with Red Interior '70 Judge*
Ulf replied to 1972coronet's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My experience is that people appreciate the neutral Porsche colors over time. After 15 years, I see my bluegrey and all Porsches as a bus (or plane) ticket. You pay and it delivers. Sometimes you see another one that has the same color, but rarely (at least in Sweden) does it have the same color and rims. Few have succeeded well in choosing the color of the paint and interior themselves. The GTO is nice but choosing the color yourself is a roll of the dice. -
What are the very best drag racing model kits of all time?
Ulf replied to tim boyd's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Monogram Badman. It sparked a passion for gassers in many. Look at the South East Gassers, now 50 years later there is still passion.
