I named this build SCHOOL'S OUT. It's a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. The body also came with an interior tub. The paint job is a Krylon Stained Glass Canary Yellow over a Krylon Shimmer Metallic Pear color and cleared with a Rust-Oleum Lacquer Gloss Clear. The grill and nose trim came from a 1950 Ford Pickup kit. The interior floor is real wood popsicle craft sticks I got at Hobby Lobby and stained with a real wood stain marker I found at my local hardware store. The seat, steering wheel, and fire extinguisher are salvaged from some spare parts I had laying around. The wheels are Pegasus 23" Magnum wheels. The license plates are scaled down from real license plates I found on Google. The taillights are actually painted with nail polish that glows under a blacklight. This is my most expensive resin model I've ever done. The body alone cost me $50. And that doesn't include the money it cost me for shipping which was around $10-$12 extra.

I call this one ZEUS. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body and I used an AMT 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit as my donor kit. The body is hand painted with a Sheer Metallic Blue acrylic craft paint color. The suspension is from the donor kit. The transfer case is pulled from a Ford Bronco 4x4 kit. The driveshafts are made from scratch. The rims are one of my 3D designed TIS 547 Off Road rims and 3D printed with some Z Force Model Works bogger tires that are also 3D printed. The rims are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome and the tires are painted with a flat black acrylic craft paint. The frame and suspension are painted with a metallic silver acrylic craft paint. The grill is a Big Guys Garage custom 1955 Chevy Pickup mesh grill and painted white. The interior is modified from the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit interior. From the front seats on back is all made from scratch. The transmission hump is made from a scrap piece of plastic I ot from an old shaving razor box. The seats are salvaged from a couple of parts kits. The steering wheel is from an AMT Ford Phaeton street rod kit. The interior is painted the same colors as the body but reversed. The windshield is the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit glass. The engine is a 3D printed Hobbi Werks Fuel Injected 632 cid Big Block Chevy engine. The inner front fender wells are trimmed a little to fit the headers. The hood is also salvaged from the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup donor kit. The inner fender wells in the back are the ones that would have been used on the 1955 Chevy Cameo Pickup. Even the rear floor is actually the truck bed with a sheet of styrene laying on top of it to smooth it out. The figure is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed. The Bulldog is 3D printed too. 

Built for a SEMA show themed build off on Instagram. Named it THE BOOM BOX. Hand painted it with a paint brush. It's painted with an acrylic craft paint call Green Flash. The wheels are spare wheels I had laying around. The leaf spring suspension is entirely made from scratch. The interior is mostly stock. I scratch built an entertainment wall in the back of the van with slots to hold a 3D printed Playstation 5, two 3D printed Playstation 5 controllers, two 3D printed milk Crates to hold games, and a 3D printed flat screen TV with a screenshot picture I found online. The back side of the wall is covered in an adhesive vinyl material I found at my local craft store. The front side of the wall has 4 JPS Customs resin Jackhammer subwoofers and 4 JPS Customs resin Jackhammer amps and painted the same color as the body. The front cab is box stock except for a 3D printed digital radio on the dashboard, a 3D printed pair of headphones on the console, and a 3D printed laptop on the passenger seat. The engine is box stock. The side door is cut open and hinged upward with hinges made from scratch using paperclips an able to stay open with the help from a piece of a round styrene rod above the door. The back doors are opened and hinged normally with scratch built hinges made from paperclips. The speakers on the inside of the back doors are 3D printed and designed by Pixel Print 3D. The door panels on the back doors are made entirely from scratch. The hood is not hinged but if it was it would be hinged to open forward. The last detail I added was a custom license plate I designed with the van's name on it.

I call this build The Brown Recluse. I started with a Jimmy Flintstone resin chopped 1932 Ford Coupe body. 98% of the build is 3D printed. My donor kit is an AMT 1932 Ford Phaeton. I 3D printed a Nahuel Customs 1932 Ford hot rod frame. The spiderweb grill, also a Nahuel Customs design, has a brown recluse spider painted on it. The 3D printed tractor pull headers are also a Nahuel Customs design. The wheels are designed by Daft Design. The tires are 3D printed in a flexible black resin. The finned drum brakes are also 3D printed. The engine is a Matty's Custom Scale Frenzel Supercharged Flathead Ford engine and is 3D printed. The drive belt is a thin rubber hair band. The Optima Battery is 3D printed. The wiring is part of an aftermarket Pre-wired distributor. The radiator is scratch built out of some square styrene rods and a wire mesh water filter I found at a thrift store. The radiator hoses are made of hollow rubber bead cord I found at Hobby Lobby. The roof rack and everything in it is 3D printed. The visor is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. I opened up the trunk in order to fit the 3D printed military bomb fuel tank and the 3D printed NOS Bottle. The tiny Skull on the nose of the body is 3D printed. Interior was modified from the 1932 Ford Phaeton donor kit. The interior tub was cut in half and the original transmission tunnel was removed. The new transmission tunnel was made from scratch along with the trunk. The front and rear suspension was salvaged from the donor. The tractor seats are a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design sitting on some stands made from a styrene tube. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed with a single Diamond Dot as the horn button. The Shifter is a 3D printed Holy Hand Grenade attached to a bent sewing pin. The cupholders are made from a couple of eyelets I found at Hobby Lobby. The dashboard is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The entire build is hand painted with a paint brush. The person is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed. I painted the person to look like me. The wagon is also 3D printed and is painted to look like a rusty Radio Flyer wagon. This is one of my favorite builds I've ever done. 

Started out as the AMT 1940 Ford Coupe. Painted it with a Rust-Oleum Flat rusty metal primer, then a flat black, then a pale green color. After the green color dried I took some 400 grit sandpaper and sanded it until I got the patina look that I wanted and then laid down a glossy clear coat. I taped off 3/4 of the headlights and painted on a turn signal amber to the exposed area. The visor was pulled out of an AMT 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup kit and painted the same way as the body. The white walls were painted on using an acrylic White paint marker I found at Walmart. The wheels are from the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit and painted the same color as the body. I lowered the ride height just a little by modifying the front and rear suspension. I used a red enamel paint for the taillights. The spotlights are an extra part I had lying around. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed. The Skull and Spine shifter is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The dashboard is painted and weathered the same way as the body. The fedora on the ceiling is 3D printed and held on with a fedora hat holder made from scratch wire I got from Hobby Lobby. The Lowrider Car Club plaque is 3D printed. The interior tub and seats are painted with a Satin Burgundy color. The ceiling color is hand painted with a paint brush in a similar color that I used on the rest of the interior. The Flathead Ford engine box stock and painted as stock looking as possible. The person I have standing next to the car is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed.

I named this build "TETANUS". It started out as a 1950 Ford F1 Pickup. I cut off the roof and chopped the windshield in half. Then I purposely broke the windshield into three pieces and glued the pieces back together so it would look like it's got a broken windshield. I sprayed a Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass spray paint on the windshield to give it an old look. The interior tub, the body, the bed, and the firewall were cut and modified so it will sit low on the stock frame without any modifications to the frame. The wheels I got from an old broken RC car. I painted the car with a Rust-Oleum Flat rusty metal primer and while the primer was still wet I sprinkled on some Epsom salt and then let it dry. Once dry I sprayed on a Hunter Green color and when the green was dry I brushed off the big chunks of salt and sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper to rough it up more. Then I used some Color Tint Washes to give it a dirty look and to make it look more realistic. The dashboard was weathered the same way as the body. The seat was painted with a Black Primer and then a Krylon gloss cinnamon brown color was applied. While the brown color was still wet I immediately sprayed on a flat clear in a gentle mist in order to give it a leather look and texture. Before it completely dried I made some tears in the brown color and then added some pillow stuffing to the tears so it would look like the foam it exposed. Then I weathered it with a dark brown color tint wash. The detail accessories I made myself. Those accessories include a comic book, a t-shirt, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, a driver's license, an unopened bag of Lays potato chips, and some McDonald's containers. The engine is scavenged from an AMT 1940 Ford Coupe kit. The grill was just an extra one I had laying around. The radiator hose is made from a black hollow rubber bead cord with some bead wire inside it so it will hold it's shape. The detail accessories in the bed include a real metal chain, a custom Iowa license plate with the name of my model club on it (NEBRASKA AUTOS IN MINIATURE "NAIM"), an opened bag of Kingsford charcoal, a fire extinguisher I had laying around, a 3D printed hammer, a 3D printed leaky gas can, an opened can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, and a couple of 3D printed opened cans of Surge Soda. The frame is not modified at all. I just painted it to look old by using a hammered rose gold spray paint color. I wanted this build to look like it was a truck that was originally pulled from the woods and was so badly rusted that the only option to save it was to turn it into a rat rod. 

Named Pink Champagne. Painted with a Color Shift acrylic craft paint. The chrome trim is Molotow Liquid Chrome. The wheels are Pegasus chrome spokes. Engine color is a Kustom Canz Base Pearlz Snow White with as much chrome as I could cram on it. The interior features a Plush Faux Fur fabric for the headliner and a White craft felt for carpet. The floor mats I designed myself and printed them out on glossy photo paper. The gauge cluster are made of some pictures of custom gauges I found online. I used some photo etch details on the dashboard including a key with a dangling keychain in the ignition and some dashboard knobs made from some antique model ship detail parts. The horn button is a Pink Diamond Dot. The entire suspension, exhaust system, and frame is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. I 3D printed the figure and painted it to go with the car.
