In the past, I've used straight bumpers such as from a van for roll pans; remove the chrome and cut to fit.

Welcome to the Forum. Exceptional model, especially for someone who started modeling less than a year ago!

Thanks guys, I had fun assembling this one.

I've been thinking about building a vintage looking COE Motorhome and haven't come up with the motorhome portion yet myself. I considered the vintage motorhome model kit but they're pretty pricey. I also considered making the 'box' from scratch from textured styrene siding but didn't think I could get the details, windows, vents, etc, just right. I'm keeping my eye open for something unconventional to start with such as a toy trailer or a trailer christmas ornament or something. I'm looking forward to what you come up with. By the way, checkout an old post here, "Ford 1941 COE camper hauler" to see a scratchbuilt motorhome/hauler.

Good start, looks just like a bare motorhome chassis as delivered. What are you going to use to make the motorhome?

I agree, great forum! Only been here a short time but this is the only forum that I look at on a daily basis.

Great looking. Nicely detailed and weathered just right.

Thanks, The Walking Dead universe could definitely use some more creative rides.

Just my two cents, I'd go with the Valiant; not because the Pontiac is mint (what's the point of a model that doesn't get built?) but because those Valiants are so ugly they're cool. It would look really good and more current as a pro-touring rather than a pro-street, though.

The Moebius 53 Hudson is a pretty good looking flathead straight six.

My opinion is that the Lakes Pipes don't improve the look that you have so far. The stance and wheels/tires looks more hot rod and the Lakes Pipes are more traditionally Kustom features.

Wow! Superb "How-To", that takes the mystery out of the casting process.

Beautiful! I love custom heavily modified models and yours is top notch.

Very nice so far! I love where you're heading with this as well as the great kit-bashing.

I saw these Fireball Modelworks resin Chevy and Mopar door handles that might work for you

Nice model. Paint turned out fantastic! I hadn't paid attention before because I didn't really like the movie but I never noticed how that car looks amazingly like my first car, black '70 Charger with polished Daisey rims only with a turbocharger under the hood instead of a blower, I may need to get one now.

Great looking model. You captured the '60s street machine vibe perfectly.

Nice clean build of a classic. I may have to get the kit just for those wheels and tires.

I like it too! Gives me a thought how to use old Model T parts but I don't have a Rat Fink.

Sounds fun but I can't think of a model I want to try again (except maybe a Raders Coach). Sorta but not exactly what you're talking about of building a kit like you once did but I recently took a finished Badman model that I built long ago and stripped it and remade it into a Two-Lane Blacktop-ish model:

Good suggestion on the China Cabinet. We had to give ours away because no one wants them anymore ( wasn't doing models then).

Very neat! I think I have almost all of those parts in my stash and didn't know what to do with them until now.

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your models.

Consider used Lawyers Bookcases; I see them on Craigslist for around $150

So far so good. Great use of what might otherwise have been scrap.
