Hi guys,
Just a couple of pics of my '56 T'Bird and drag boat. Bit too much glare to show the irridescent yellow but you can't win them all. Still learning my digital SLR
Tks for looking

Tks for the kind words guys. Sorry Dave, I have a friendly panel shop owner & I just call in from time to time with jars and pick up the scraps. It's just an auto acrylic, clear coated & polished.

Tks for the comments guys, tyres are from the Ratrod kit, wheels the parts box but I'm pretty sure they are they same as those in the '58 T Bird bubble top release

Built this one a while ago along the lines of Weston's roadster he displayed at the '56 Oaklands GNRS. Running modern chassis components though.
Sorry about the background colour, must paint the board light grey. Thanks for looking
Dave B
Tks for the comments.
The wheels are from the parts box, no idea of the source, sorry. As for the Arias I thought why not, I had 2 & still have 1 left, and it is a little different.
Tks again
Dave B
I built this quite a while ago but thought it may be worth while posting a couple of pics. Used a blown Arias out of the tractor puller kit (it had 3). Hope someone out there enjoys it!!
Tks for looking

Beautiful build, I have built a couple of 1/43 & can appreciate the work you have put into it. Would dearly love an affordable 1/24 model of one.

Another one I original built as a young bloke. Long gone now but luckily AMT also re-released the Ala Kart as well. Along with the Silhouette I posted last week this is my only other 'show rod' model. Luckily I also have another Ala Kart as it wasn't until after this one was built did I realise the chassis is body colour and the steering wheel and interior panels are black!!!!! That was thanks to a great article in Rodders Journal so I'm now looking forward to building it again, but right this time. Box stock but with Cady decals. Thanks for looking.

Tks Guys, glad you all liked it. Yes it did come with the Ford, the nail head came out of the spare parts box, home made manifold & aluminium tube for injectors. I built the original release when I was a kid but that's long gone. Didn't look as nice either!!
Dave B
Just a few pics of one of my favourite re-released AMT kits built in 2010. Since Photobucket removed third party hosting the pics had gone and I noticed a request September this year (2017) for the pics so here they are.
Tks
Dave B
That's a great job. Have you considered putting the 'master' into silicon and then doing a resin slush mould from it. You could re-use the master for your 'glass'
Dave B
The Alfa 158 & Lago Talbot have both been re-released by SMER, both these have the engine detail. All the others were available in resin but can't remember who did them. These do not appear to be availble any longer & I seem to recall reading on a forum somewhere that the original manufacturer of the resins has since sold the moulds. Shall try to get some close up pics shortly, seem to lack clarity when I take them!!!
