NitroMarty

A pair from the mid-1990's and early 2000's.............

What an absolutely stunning beauty!!! The fogged panels are absolutely perfect!

Had the idea for these decals floating around in my head for several years now.... Finally got around to making it happen. Revell's '56 Chevy sedan, pretty much box stock, only additions being Cragar S/S mags from AMT's '37 Chevy, AMT parts pack slicks and tires, scratch-build traction bars, headers, and a few bits and pieces from my trusty old parts box.... Looks pretty good next to my diecast '57 stocker....

Another oldie from the archives..... AMT '57 T-bird.... Revell Miss Deal chassis... Injected 427 "cammer"

Frankie is too "busy" building Chevelles... He must have a half dozen of those in the works right now!

You already KNOW I'm diggin' it..... Lets do this, Doc!!!!!

Great looking old Stovebolt!!!!! Really wish I had picked up one of those '38 conversions when they were available.

Hasegawa's '67 Volkswagen Type 2 delivery, treated to a bit of NitroMarty style and attitude..... Suspension was tweaked to get that bagged and slammed stance.... Wheels are from one of Revell's tuner kits, with the rears being fitted into Pegasus sleeves... Two-tone paint is Testors craft enamels Black Tie over Coral... Finished was only polished.... No clear coat.... Interior features a Mexican style blanket that I made by printing an image from the internet on white decal paper. Truthfully, not my best work, but it feels good to finally finish one.

That is (was) so cool!!!!! I look forward to seeing your updated tribute!

Outstanding!!! What diameter wire and hypodermic needles did you use for the spokes and nipples?

Outstanding!!!!!

Dave Koffel's E/Gas winning "Flintstone Flyer" Packard was indeed some of the inspiration for the color I used on this build....

NICE!!!!!!!!! Details;. man.... We need details!!!!

This one started as just a "goof", while waiting for the glue to dry on another project, but I liked it so well that it just kinda took on a life of its own I mean an altered wheelbase Hudson Hornet.... Who else but twisted lil ol' me would ever dream of such a thing? Moebius' Hudson with the wheel openings shoved WAY forward... Paired with a Miss deal chassis, modified with the front axle from a Boot Hill Express kit... Under the hood you'll find a fuel injected Cadillac, kit-bashed using part from several different kits, and set back way under the cowl. The Testors One Coat Pure Gold lacquer and Big Fat Fannie decals, that I whipped up on my computer, really POP in the sun!

You absolutely HAVE to finish this one, Tom!!!!!!

Here's another one from a few years ago...... Part Revell T sedan... Part MPC Winged Express... Part AMT Parts Pack small block Chevy..... And a whole lotta fun! Plenty of bit and pieces from my parts box, as well..... Paint is Model Master Grabber Orange lacquer.... Decals I whipped up on my computer.

NICE!!!!!! Let's line 'em up!

Built this one many years ago, from AMT's old 5-window kit....

I went the gasser route with my sedan delivery....

Absolutely perfect!!!! Color, stance, detailing, choice of drivetrain and rolling stock... All are spot on!!!!!

Thanks guys... Like I said, this build was somewhat of a lifelong obsession of mine.... A decade or so after I finally finished with this build, I happened upon Model Martin's "Bug Zapper" resin VW funny car body, and instantly knew that I had to build a more contemporary version of the DuraChrome Bug.... I think the two look pretty good, side by side.....

Looks good to me!!!!! Also one of my favorite "parts kits", I have used the chassis under numerous gasser builds..... Like you, I also built one "as intended" (kinda)... I did mine way back in the early 90's...

Stunning!!!! A few details, please!

AWESOME!!!!! I look forward to picking up a copy at my LHS!!!

Another old build.... This one from back in 2006.... I posted this on the forum many years ago, but it seems to be gone, so here it is again. I had been fascinated with Warren Gunter's DuraChrome Bug supercharged Chevy powered Volkswagen funny car , ever since I had seen it during the World Series of Drag Racing, at Cordova (IL). as a young kid.... From that day forward, I had always had the desire (nearing obsession) to build a model of that wild racecar!!!! I actually started this model way back around 1988 / 89, by cutting and stretching a Revell VW body, since there were no resin bodies of the car available at that time.... I also, at that time, pieced together the basic chassis (splicing two AMT Gremlin F/C frames)..... It quickly became apparent, though, that the project was way ahead of my skill set, so the project was shelved and only pulled out and worked on occasionally over the next several years.... Finally I felt that I was ready, so a push was made to finish my favorite funny car... Hard to believe that it's been almost a decade and a half since I finished this... My favorite build!!!
