hey just wanted to say tim does good work..his decals are awesome.....

has anyone ever scratched built a air filter for a 1/25 scale model.... this is what kind im talking about... im gonna try and make one...just wanted to know if anyone else has....

thanks guys...ill try and have more pics soon...

im building a cooters tow truck....been working months on it...just wanted to share it here....im not that good at building..i wanted to start this here earlier but after some of the work ive seen i was scared to show my work....but thought id show it anyway.....heres just a few pics for tonite....its a 1972 chevy truck that will be built into cooters tow truck from the dukes of hazzard....heres what i started with i open the doors on this build i fixed the front wheels to turn engine is almost done... anyways keep watching....

sorry about that sorry jim

the sides are styrene with popsicles sticks in the middle...then i used model putty to fill the gaps and let dry and sanded them

sorry guys things got out of hand....i didnt mean any harm...

heres a few things ive scratched built.... cb for cooters tow truck, its not finished yet.. tow truck bed for my current build push bar for general lee build well your right but there made from paper clips. so i may have to cut them instead....

i made a battery for a build im doing and wanted to see what you guys thought...

i cant wait to hear it run..... cool build man

nice work there man....hope to be able to build like this some day....

ok thanks....drilling holes is not an option...would mess up the door at the top...

ever heard of anyone melting plastic model parts to use to make your own parts....what i mean is taking model pieces maybe a body or other things and melting them in a can or pot and pouring it into a mold to make parts with....would this work....you know once it cools it will become hard again.....just asking....

well i have some paperclips but will it glue to the plastic... i thought about using that

heres one im working on now

ive open the doors before and the trunk to..... see take a look.... they can be a headache at times ..but i think they make the model better...

i need some plastic round stock to make some mirrors for a truck im building....does anyone have an idea to where i can get some cheap...maybe from a household item that im not thinking about..... here is the type of mirrors im trying to make

i think my brother has one of them. if you want it let me know. i think the guy who makes them sells them for thirty dollars..but i think thats cheap for a resin kit

heres a model i built last summer. its cooters tow truck from the dukes of hazzard

you bet

thanks guys i knew you be able to help me....

the horns came with the kit... its a resin kit....it has no motor. just a chassis body and interior wheels and tires. you have to make the axles your self...

thanks i made it from toothpicks and some old credit cards i had laying around...

well i guess it was just a box stock build. and it wasnt trying to be any certain car he drove....i know a lot more about building models now then i did then and i think i could do a better job today if i can find time to do another one of his cars..i did do the chassis to match his superspeedway cars though....and you are correct most of his black cars had a red chassis. thanks for the comments guys.....heres another one of his car that i built....
