*1960 Ford Ranchero*
Zippi replied to Zippi's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Boy oh boy....that looks good. Been playing around with engine options. I have a 327 abc that almost fits. Would take much. -

I think the pic of the white one is painted white around the bed and back window trip is black. I removed the lip on the rear of the roof. Looks much better. -
That little Tricky Vicky is looking pretty sharp.

There is an optional part for the roof if you want to do a custom build. I was thinking it had to do with that roof panel but it doesn't come into contact with it. Think I'll sand it off. Just doesn't look right to me. -

I did some research and it looks like some of the Ranchero's have the ridge on the rear of the roof and some don't. Still not sure if I want to remove it or not. -

I found some hubs that fit and work with the metal axles in the kit so I did another moc up to make sure the wheels & tires still fit before I go any further. They look tight but they do spin. I think it looks fine. Still wondering about the ridge at the rear of the roof. Should that be removed or not??? -

I have Carl, they have some nice colors. Right now I'm really liking the way the Testors enamel sprayed out on the 34 Modified I built so I'm just looking at the Testors enamel in the little bottles. -
I appreciate it Trevor. It was a fun build. May build one of the others in the series.

Well....got a lot of cleaning to do as the flash and mold lines are some of the worst I've seen. I'm struggling over a color and I'm hoping next week will bring some good enough weather where I can airbursh the body. I'm going to try the Testors enamel again as it came out so nice on the MPC Modified I just finished. -
I sure will. I'm really digging the Anglia that Steve posted a pic of. If that was a kit I'd have two on order today.

I have a 66 Nova chassis that has the tubbed out rear end and I'm wanting to use the back half or the whole chassis under something for that Pro Street look or a Gasser. Then I got to thinking, maybe someone make a complete resin kit. Anyone know of anything out there that I could look at? If there is such a think out there and you have built one, let me see some pics and your comments on the product.

Revell 77 wrecker
Zippi replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
WOW...that looks so real. Wrecker looks good and the photos are awesome. -
Nice looking Chevelle. I really like that Mountain Green interior.
-
Nice looking. I like the green. Never had a Road Runner but always liked the looks of them. When I was in grade school my shop teacher had a red one. He was always drawing the Road Runner at his desk. The only reason I know this is because I was at his desk a lot for being in trouble.

1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk (56J): Sunglow over Yellowstone
Zippi replied to mr moto's topic in Model Cars
I really like this one. Great color and love the dual antenna's. What a super clean build. My first car was my Grandfathers 57 Studebaker. -
Yeah buddy. That looks pretty kewl.
-
Love the old Fords. Great job on both. I always liked the exterior sunvisor and swamp coolers.
-
WOW....what a good looking model. Nice looking colors and congratulations on the win. Love all the accessories.
-
What a nice looking 57 Helmut. Still looking good. Looks like freshly competed model.
-
Good looking little Bug. Nice job on the weathering. Had a 72 Super Beetle 1:1 and it brought back some memories. Some not so good.
-
Good looking 55. 16 years is a long wait but the end results look fantastic. Nice job.
-
Boy that looks nice and clean with great lines. That engine bay looks really clean. That Dodge Sublime paint looks killer. Great job.
-
That green looks pretty good. The under carage looks like a new car out of the show room. Nice foil work.
