What a great model, great color choices, and fantastic story to go along with it!
-
That came out awesome! Dodge should actually have built this woodie. All it needs is a surfboard on top and it's ready for the beach

Nostalgia Fuel Dragster--Blower Manifold (01/28/23)
ea0863 replied to Straightliner59's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Both are cool, but I favor the boldness of the left panel! -
MIchelle - I LOVE the models you put together! Your wild concepts are so cool! I'm always looking forward to the next one
-
Ray - Totally looking forward to your observations as you do this build! Sad to hear you've tired of the hobby, but do check back in from time to time

Daniel, I am amazed by your skills and ingenuity! That mockup is so stunning that it will almost be a shame to see paint on it -
Chopped '32 Ford 3-window highboy - 3-19 Update

I LOVE the patina. The whole vehicle looks like a well-worn comfy leather chair you just fall into! -
Patrick, after going through this thread, I can answer your question "Anybody else also a fan of Juha Airio?" by stating, "I am now!" Thank you for posting

Otaki 1/12 Lamborghini Countach Twin Turbo...Mission Statement
ea0863 replied to Dann Tier's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Ah, yes. An homage to Ken Imhoff - the man who built a stunning charcoal grey Countach from scratch in his basement over a 17 year period... and then had to figure out a way to get it out!- 363 replies

Wicked cool, Martin! And I'm with you; if I'm looking for a stock version of a car, I prefer to just buy it in diecast (if available). I try to reserve my model building for the ability to try out new ideas, or to build a car otherwise not available. I saw a few of these lowrider creations at last year's SEMA, and the engraving was my favorite part. You haven't lived till you've seen an alternator done up like a piece of jewelry!

I love the body just the way it is in sanded out primer!
-
Such a beauty! It's so interesting that one can look at a 1:1 custom car build and approximate the period in which it was built by the techniques, paints, design cues, etc. from that period. And here, we can see the same thing in a scale model as well. Thank you for posting!
-
What an unbelievable creation! And to think, there are at least three parts on there from an Impala
-
I am totally with Martin on this one! Cannot wait to see what you do with colors!

Makes me wish I were a 1:12 scale person just so I could enjoy your Countach all the more! BTW, have you picked a body color yet? Not trying to suggest anything, but I still have my Alpine Countach poster from 1980!...- 363 replies

Totally digging it. Thank you for posting!

Karl Benz is rolling over in his grave as we speak. Love it!
-
Looking forward to your creation. Wilder the better, I say!
-
Tasteful and unique! I'll be enjoying following this build
-
Oh my, that is tasty! Now it will need a name to compete with the likes of "Chezoom" and "CadZZilla"
-
I'm now convinced; some of the best stuff comes from the parts bin and our imagination! Fantastic build!
-
I love that you kept it "stock". So lovely in those colors. Well done!
-
Niko, wonderful job on your project! It's nice to see I'm not the only one that sets a project down for a few years and picks it up again later. Take it from a guy who has been a cop for 30 years though - your car will need a few dents and some empty McDonald's wrappers on the front seat to become 100% authentic
-
Sooo sweet! Cannot wait to see it completed

Tim, thank you so much for reposting this article! I too was unaware of the connection between drag boats and hot rods until I reviewed the 70+ years of Hot Rod Magazine recently and saw the clear connection. The incredible array of engines and exotic configurations alone made the boats a part of the "hot rod" family.
