Chuck Most

Very cool, and rakish! Nicely done, and welcome to the forum.

You don't see this kit done as a beater too often...heck, I think this is the first I've seen personally. Great job!

I may be a bit belated, but thanks for the help guys!

OH, just got this... ] One more off my bucket list, I suppose!

Always nice to see a scale Scout!

Oh, yeah... I've had to have my finger stitched back together after a slip-up with the ol' X-Acto blade. Never fun.

Still haven't taken a bash at weathering an Edsel, but I doubt mine would look as cool anyway. Great job on this one!

Looking? I'M the one who had to TOUCH the thing, and I'm fine! Wait... Well, look at that! My right arm just turned green and fell off... That can't be good.

That's just a little bit creepy...

Love the late '50's Lincolns and Mercs!

Cool indeed!

That's how ya make lemons into lemonade! I can't tell you how many of my favorite models of mine were the result of accidents and foul ups! Great save on this one.

Tuesday night, about eight forty five-ish. (I was disguised as a hat rack.)

Highway without his MCM fix...

I think I'll join in... WHEN my workbench is clean enough for anyone to actually see it. I'm not kidding- it's THAT BAD!

I know that the earlier Tamiya RX-7 kits (the second gen, '86-'92 body style) had an engine. Not the greatest detail wise, but it played the part fairly well. I haven't cracked open a Tamiya 3rd-gen RX-7 kit yet, but now that the question has been asked, I'm a little curious about the kit now, too!

Huh. Really?

Lately I've been back in my rat rod groove, mostly accomplished by finishing up long-forlorn old projects. I chopped the cab and Z'd the frame (Revell '41 Chevy pickup) a year or two ago, and the stuff has just sat around until the last week or so. All told, I've got maybe 20 hours into this thing... stretched over roughly an 18 month span! Anywho, here goes... Key ingredients- (Besides the aformentioned '41 Chev parts)-Pontiac 250 I-6 with exposed timing chain and a turbocharger from an International dump truck, spiked helmet 'carb scoop, Pontiac bumperettes containing '59 Caddy bullet taillamps, rear frame kickup with nitrous bottle and battery from a Revell Pro Sportsman '55 Chevy, vise grip driver's side door handle and double end box wrench inner door handles, and the following scratchbuilt junk- bed, fuel tank, rear frame and floor pan, dual remote oil filters, header (aluminum solder), distributor and coil, alternator brackets, and oil filler tube (capped off with a skull from a Games Workshops kit).

Another one clear out of the park, John!

Parts from these two kits usually combine pretty well, this one is period perfect!

Coming along very well, I do say! Don't let what others are doing discourage you- maybe you can't scratchbuild NOW, but it'll be something you can always delve into later. A great model is a great model, no matter how it's built!

Meanest Flattie I've seen in a long time!

Very nice looking model... and if it were mine, 1:1 or 1:24, I'd leave the 5.0 badges OFF... just to mess with people!
