I used the same bodies for all of them. They're basically just ideas.
-
That Bugatti Atlantic is one I 3D printed. I have it printed in 1/24 scale.
-
It is a Kaiser station wagon. I got it from Resin Model Ranch.

I call it OUIJA. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. The engine is just some random parts from different kits. The headers are designed by Nahuel Customs and are 3D printed. The grill is also a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. I designed the frame myself to fit this specific body and is 3D printed. The headlight lenses are 3D printed in crystal clear resin with a transparent red dye. The headlight pods are also 3D printed. The stands for the headlights are made from a paperclip. The front suspension is a fully 3D printed Nahuel Customs design with the spindles held on with some sewing pins. The steering linkage on the body is a Matty's Custom Scale design and is 3D printed. The steering rod is a piece of bead wire. The skull rear axle is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design but I had to extend it to fit the wheels on the outside of the body. The 4 link rear suspension is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The airbags on the rear suspension is 3D printed in a soft rubber resin. The driveshaft U-joints are 3D printed but the main body of the driveshaft is a styrene tube. The floors are made from scratch from a thin styrene sheet. The tractor seats, the shifter, the dashboard, and the barefoot gas pedal is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The skull steering wheel is one of my 3D printed designs. The steering column is a piece of styrene tubing. The Ouija Board and Planchet is 3D printed. The wheels are from a 1941 Willys Coupe kit. The wheelie bars are 3D printed. The 1959 Cadillac taillights are a Nahuel Customs design and are 3D printed in crystal clear resin with a transparent red dye. The license plate is one of my designs and is designed for this specific build. The demon skull hood ornament is 3D printed. The visor is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The skeleton hand side mirrors are one of my 3D printed designs. The entire building is hand painted with a paint brush. The rusty look was done with three different shades of brown acrylic craft paint and two different color tint washes. The rusty look on the roof was done with three different sized sponges but the sides were done with a paint brush. This is one of my favorite rat rod builds I've done.

I'm working on a 1926 Ford Suicide Door Sedan that I got from Jimmy Flintstone. I started with just the body and went from there. A lot of the parts will be 3D printed. Even the headlights are going to be 3D printed in clear red resin. I'm calling it OUIJA. It's going to be a rat rod. The frame is the main part that I designed to fit this specific body for this build.

These are some of my interiors I've done that I really like. I use all kinds of different methods and materials for my interiors. Everything from painting them to upholstering them.

I call it WAR MACHINE. It's my Vietnam War veteran tribute build. It started out as a Revell 1968 Volkswagen Beetle. I cut off the fenders and the running boards. The wheels are Daft Designs Black Rhino Armory wheels with vintage military tires and are printed in flexible black resin. The body, front hood, interior, front axle, rear suspension, wheels are all hand painted in an acrylic craft paint called Foliage Green. The star on the side is painted on using a stencil and a paint brush. The front axle is a Matty's Custom Scale design and purchased from Iceman Collections. The engine is a Black Box STL Flat 4 engine with a turbo upgrade and is 3D printed and purchased from Iceman Collections. The skull on the engine is one I 3D printed myself and resized to fit the specific engine I used. The wiring is copper bead wire. The drive belt is a real rubber belt. I had to modify the position of the rear suspension in order to get it to sit low. The fuel tank is a 3D printed Vietnam War era military bomb. The chain link steering wheel, the bomber seats, and the grenade shifter knob are all 3D printed. The shifter boot is made from a couple of tiny rubber o-rings. The shifter handle is a sewing pin. The seat cushions are made from some army green EVA craft foam. I had to cut a hole in the middle of the back seat to get the engine to sit level. In order to cover it up I 3D printed an ammo box and painted it to look like a Vietnam War era box. The 50 caliber ammo belt and bullets are also 3D printed. The rear fender wells are made from scratch styrene sheets. The visor above the windshield is a Black Box STL design and is 3D printed and painted the same color as the body. I wanted the body to look like a Vietnam War era army helmet. This is my 4th version of the Revell 1968 Volkswagen Beetle kit and I have a lot more to come.

I call it THE BEAST. It's a 1/24 scale 3D printed body. The whole thing is painted with a paint brush. The patina is done with a craft sponge. The engines are two Black Box STL twin turbo 572 Big Block Chevy engines. The middle part of the frame is made from scratch but the front and rear of the frame is a modified 1980 Jeep Honcho kit frame. The hubcaps are 1980 Dodge Ramcharger kit hubcaps. The tires are Hot Wheels Monster Truck tires. The rear axle is a modified Nahuel Customs skull rear axle. The interior is scratch built. The bone seat is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The Stop Sign is one of my own designs and is 3D printed. The other 3D printed items are a Beer Keg, a Jim Beam bottle, a backpack, a milk crate, a skateboard, a Funko person painted to look like me, an acoustic guitar, a softball, a Rubik's Cube, a Playstation Portable, a pair of headphones, a cinder block that the Stop Sign is leaning against, a Marvel Comics Number One comic book, and the chain link steering wheel. The trophy is pulled from a model kit. The magazines are ones I custom designed. I tried to add school accessories to the interior. The only two accessories that are more college dropout items are the Beer Keg and the Jim Beam bottle. The person figure is a 1/24 scale 6 feet tall. The body is also 1/24 scale so if it was a real bus it would definitely have one hell of a chop to it.

I call it THE BEAST. The body is 3D printed and the engines are two Black Box STL twin turbo 572 big blocks. The wheels are hot wheels monster truck wheels with hubcaps from the Dodge Ramcharger kit. The frame is partially scratch built and partially modified from a 1980 Jeep Honcho kit. Still working on it but it's definitely coming out awesome.

This is literally my most insane rat rod build idea I have ever had. It's a School Bus body with a chopped top. It's going to have Dual Big Block HEMI V8 engines with two superchargers, four turbos, two intercoolers, and hooked up with two bottles of NOS all linked to a single driveshaft. The tires are Z Force Model Works bogger tires and the rims are ACA Zeus wheels that I designed on the Shapr3D modeling software. I mocked everything up in the slicer program that came with my Anycubic Photon M3 resin printer. I'm going to be printing it in separate parts and it's going to be done in 1/24 scale. I have literally lost my mind with this one and I hope I never find it.

Not my car. I found these pictures on Instagram. I'm just sharing them because I am using them as reference for my next model I'm going to be building.

I named this one ALPENGEIST which is a German word meaning GHOST OF THE ALPS. I airbrushed it with acrylic craft paint that I thinned out using windshield washer fluid. It works perfectly and doesn't affect the color of the paint. The colors I used were a Shimmer White base with an Ice Blue fades. The front seats are salvaged from a different kit and upholstered with a Light Blue craft foam with White diamond dots to simulate snowballs. The rear seat, door panels, and the dashboard are upholstered with extra fine glitter White craft foam and Light Blue craft foam with White diamond dots to simulate snowballs. The piping is a Light Blue string ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby. The radio is a photo etch detail part. Instead of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror I decided to make snowballs out of some crystal bead I painted them with a Shimmer White acrylic craft paint. The string on them is a thin piece of White embroidery thread. The carpet is White craft felt. The headliner is a Light Blue craft felt. The rear window carpet is a White embossed craft felt. The inner headlights were purposely left off to give the look of cold air intakes. The license plate is one I custom designed for this specific build. The chrome details on the taillights are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome using a toothpick to apply it. The wheels are Pegasus Sovereigns. The engine is fully plumbed and wired. The spark plug wires are Light Blue bead wire. The plug wire boots are tiny Black beads. The battery terminal connectors are gold crimp cord ends. The battery cables are Black bead wire for the negative side and Red bead wire for the positive side. The fuel line is a clear stretchy bead cord with a White tube bead used for a fuel filter. The brake lines are Light Blue bead wire made into a coil by wrapping a tiny screw with the wire. The ignition wire is a Light Blue bead wire and the ignition coil is a piece of aluminum tubing. The radiator hose is a Silver braided bead wire. The carburetor spring is a coiled Black bead wire and connected to a couple of watch brackets make it look more realistic. The exhaust system and the suspension is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome.

I call this build PINK LADY. It's not actually pink though. It's a Rust-Oleum Gloss Coral with a Testors Color Shift Green Copper over the top. The interior seats is not painted, just detailed. The steering wheel, steering column, and dashboard are painted the same way as the body. The switches on the center console are brass model ship detail parts. The shifters are jewel sequin pins I found at Hobby Lobby. The switch on the left side of the steering column is a brass model ship detail part. The floor mats I designed myself and are printed out on glossy photo paper. The smartphone is made from scratch and the screen is scaled down from a picture I found on Google. The Lowrider Magazine is one of my custom designs with this build on the cover. The mask is another custom design I did in 2020 during the pandemic. The electric guitar is 3D printed on my old filament printer I don't have anymore and is painted to match the body. The box of Kleenex is a cut and fold design I found on Google with a real Kleenex piece in it. The Monster Energy can is 3D printed but the label is one I custom designed for this specific build. The tank top is another custom designed accessory I made. The flip flops are 3D printed and painted to match the body. The postcard is one I custom designed with this build on it. The envelope has my mailing address as the return address and my mom's mailing address as the receiving address. The license plates are ones I custom designed for this build. The windshield sun shade is another one of my custom designs I did for this build. The carpet and headliner is some white craft felt I got at my local JoAnn Fabrics craft store. The chrome trim is done with bare metal foil and the emblems are done with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The suspension, gas tank, and exhaust system is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The wheels are from a Jada Toys diecast car. The engine is wired with pink bead wire I got at my local JoAnn Fabrics craft store. I used a hole punch to punch out a circle of styrene plastic to attach the wires to the distributor easier. The clear coat on this is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Lacquer and is not color sanded or polished. The finish is straight out of the spray can.

These are not scans. I found the files of these on cults3D and cgtrader and just painted them to look like my family and me. The person on the left is supposed to be my grandma. The person on the right is supposed to be my mom. The person in the middle is supposed to be me. I love my family and I love these figures. They kinda freak me out because they look so much like us. I tried to paint them in colors of clothing that we own and wear.

The guy with the zoot suit is actually The Mask Jim Carrey character. The guy with the Dodge pickup is just a generic person figure I printed. It's not George Carlin.

These are all the builds that I have 3D printed a person to display with them. I found the files for them on cgtrader and cults3D.

These are all the builds that I have 3D printed a person to go with it. You can find the files on cgtrader and cults3D. You just have to look.

Currently working on it but here's what I have done so far. 98% of the interior tub is built from scratch. Most of the accessories I 3D printed myself. The main body and grill are cast resin from Resin Model Ranch. The donor kit is a 1950 Chevy Pickup. I did have to stretch the frame a little. I used a picture of a Divco interior as reference to build the interior. The wheels are from the donor kit but the tires are not. My favorite detail on this is the melted candy bar on the dashboard. The decals came from a 1965 Chevy Pickup kit. This is my favorite weathered build that I have done. The longer you look at the interior the more you see. Oily rags, greasy chain, and even 3D printed tobacco cans are just a few of the many accessories that I made for it.
