Replacement Hudson Decals from Moebius!

Here's how it sits...Unstarted! (I have picked out a few additional bits and pieces...and maybe a second build!)

Cool thread...I have built the Dr. Cranky jack stands...simple to do! I did 3 sets with a little variety: Blue Gold Red Took me an afternoon I think

Didn't he also drive a Shelby Mustang?

See...that is what I like about simple projects...those oil drums are simple and easy! Thanks for that link, Doc. Much appreciated! Just gotta remember the poly pipe when I go to the home improvement store next time! Already have some telephone wire and sheet styrene!! (Actually, if I go looking I probably have some of that pipe already...)

Thanks, Neal...perfect!

Great...I'll look for those next time I'm at a craft store.

Great paint there, Donn! The Hudson looks fabulous in red and cream!

All the builds are looking great! Love the creativity. I haven't started on the Galaxium build yet, but have been searching out parts and pieces and probably have an idea for at least a second build, too, as I came up with an idea while searching out parts in the stash! I promised myself I'd finish a pair of 1/32 Batmobiles that are on the bench first. Keep the inspiration coming! Virgil - the Highway looks great! What did you use for the billboard lights? I've been looking for something like those for my garage diorama.

Wow, 10 pages and counting. Seems the good Doctor always garners a crowd of followers and a few hecklers. There are enough negatives in the world. Can we try to be positive? On the original question, I don't believe a separate section is required for rusty and weathered, as this really is a style of finish. I do like the idea that Harry put forward for a reorganization and understand the limitations to a reorg from Gregg's perspective. It does seem that there are many who are willing to help. This forum is a wonderful cross section of building styles and I am so happy to have come across it. There are wonderful builders here that are willing to share with others. While there are many styles of builds that I personally do not build, there is always something to be learned from all builders of all styles, be it automotive, truck, military, ship, plane, sci-fi or whatever. Will I ever build a lowrider? Maybe. Maybe no. If I do, will it have a killer multi-coloured layered paint job? Probably not. Is it something I'd like to be able to do at least once? Oh yeah! It is a technique that requires practice and techniques. While I do try to do or learn something new with each build or improve on techniques or what I see as previous failures, I do enjoy the hobby and it's many facets. To think that for the most part it is all starts with plastic, glue and paint and becomes a piece of art no matter what the subject or finish is just flat-out awesome, whether it is a car, plane or spaceship we can all learn something if we allow ourselves to do so. Shiny or rusty, new or old, it's all the same materials. Thanks. Good night.

Well done! Final results are stunning!

Yes, I glue the body to the chassis and when it is done...it is done.

I was wondering what the next build by John was going to be! Now I know!! Great start, John.

That is a gorgeous build! Wow! This is another kit to look forward to!

Sorry to find more to add!! I really like the build!!

Thank you for sharing this build, Ken. Wonderful!

The Highway is looking fabulous, Doc! Nice work and thanks for the tutorial! Lots of builds coming along nicely! G - Looks fantastic!

Nice tribute. Is there a white stripe on the front fenders of the real car? Sort of looks like it in the picture, from the grille back to the middle of the door. Could be a reflection, I'm not sure and thought I'd ask.

Happy Birthday, Virgil! Wishing you an amazing day!

Funny stuff!

Did that... (More pictures here)

I used the T-Bird Turbo Coupe chassis...I had to cut a bit at the rear and along the sides to make it fit with the LSC body. I did a body/chassis swap between the two kits (wheels on the Lincoln are the customs from a Cougar kit)
