Central Illinois Plastic Modelers Fall Contest - 21 Sep 2025
Leica007 replied to Leica007's topic in Contests and Shows
The fall show was bigger than our spring event, we had 51 entries for the show, 10 models in the Cruise In display table, and over 40 people including some from another club who awarded plaques to vehicles they chose. The voting was close with only 1 vote difference between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Unfortunately we didn't have any junior entries. Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy the photos, try to guess the winners, and comments are welcome. First photos are overall table shots. This is some of the Cruise In table models Here are some individual entries. Here are the winning entries: Third Place is an entry that was made to compete in a military competition (the owner only builds model cars so he entered this) Randy Litwiller, Rommel Rat Rod carrier w/ VW Second place is based on "The Green Ghost" with many details from the book built by Lei Cannon, 40 Willys First Place winner (also winner of the spring show) Jack Brejc with his highly detailed 32 Ford 3 window. He chopped the top 3 inches, added Eddie Myers flathead engine, photo etched grille and many other added details, worked on this for 6 months Thanks again for looking. See you next spring.- 1 reply

Chrome rims for metal axles
Leica007 replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The 63 Ford Galaxie kit has a nice set. I found them in 2 versions of the kit. -
Here's some photos of my color shift paint jobs on 53 P/U and 55 Panel using Rustoleum spray can, before I started using an airbrush (2018). I don't remember using primer. The p/u was molded in white and the panel was black. Have you tried decanting to use in your airbrush? I think I used only 2 coats (maybe 3) and got these results. Hope this helps, looking forward to seeing how your's comes out.

1982 Dodge Street Van
Leica007 replied to mrmike's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Excellent rendition of a street van, ditto on Espo's comments. The tinted rear glass worked out great. I liked the colors and detail of the interior. -
Hey Mark,, I have 2 or 3 flatheads from other AMT ford kits. The 49 Merc kit I have is Barris Cruisin and it only has a caddy engine. Could you use a 40, 49, or 53 engine? Lei

Mustang 5-spoke mags/tires needed; poss. 2009 (for replica build)
Leica007 replied to Wickersham Humble's topic in Wanted!
I did a search for 2009 Mustang 5 spoke wheels and got about 25-30 pictures of different styles. Most were 18 or 19 inch. These were photos of 1;1 wheels. If you could either take pictures of the ones your daughter has or look through the online search and post a photo on what you need, it would help us. I did find one 2009 mustang kit by Airfix that you could check out to see if the wheels are close. Lei -

I should have mentioned that I started with the AMT Bad Company kit in the opening post. I did in the WIP section. If you wanted to see more, you can check it out there. Thanks again for your interest. By the way, I grew up an Ohio Buckeye. Lei -
