  1. Congratulations for two museum quality models.
  2. Great build. I love the photos of the model on the salt. Very well done in all respects.
  3. Looks fantastic. The MOMO livery is one of my favourites of all time.
  4. Congratulations on a very nice build of maybe the most obscure race car of my favourite race car driver. So far I have built 9 models associated with Dan with many more on the want to build list.
  5. Going to be a beauty.
  6. Great to see an early '50's Pontiac. Very well done.
  7. Great concept and execution!! Well done.
  8. I like it !! Great combination of parts. A genuine hot rod.
  9. #39 - I had an already painted body so decided to make a more contemporary show & go Deuce. The blown HEMI uses parts from the Revell Deuce 5-W and Willys Street Rod kits. The Duval body comes from the most recent Revell Roadster kit with the interior from the Rat Roaster. Out back is a fully chromed Replicas & Miniatures Winters Quick-Change. The scallops are kit decals over Tamiya Candy Lime Green. The huge rear slicks came from my parts box.
  10. #38 - This model is a tribute to the daily driven Deuce Roadster of late and lamented hot rod journalist and photographer Gray Baskerville. The model is based on the 1/24 Monogram kit with the only modifications being lowering, stock hood sides and custom nerf bars. The paint is Tamiya Red with Satin clear while the primer is Tamiya Hull Brown.
  11. I really like the colour combo.
  12. Great looking 34. I really like the colour and wheel/tire combo.
  13. #37 - This a tribute to Pete Chapouris’s after market component quick-build Hi-Boy Roadster known as Limefire. The model is based on the most recently released Revell Deuce Roadster but using the Rat Roaster body. The Chev engine has a B&M Blower and transmission. Out back is a quick-change rear end. The paint is Tamiya Candy Lime Green and the flames were painted using Lazy Modeller masks.
  14. #36 - This is a tribute to Deuce I have really liked since the first time I saw it. The colour is Tamiya Light Metallic Blue. The wheels and tires are from the AMT Ala Kart and the rear suspension has parallel leaf springs. The engine is a small block Ford with a 4-speed transmission.
  15. Fabulous 300 SL. Photos look like they could have come from a Mercedes brochure !!
  16. #35 - This is a tribute to one of my favourite local Deuce. I was lucky enough to be there when it was first fired up. The owner built it as he wished he could have as a young hot rodder. He later sold it but eventually realised it was his perfect hot rod and was able to buy it back. It has a small block Chevy engine and a transverse rear spring suspension. The paint is Tamiya Light Blue.
  17. #34 - This Deuce represents an emerging style of hot rods coming from pro-builders that I call Retro-Modern. This 5-W is not chopped and has absolutely no chrome. It features lots of louvers on the hood and trunk. The wheels are large diameter with low profile rubber from the AMT Phantom Vickie. The paint is Tamiya Deck Tan with Satin Clear.
  18. Great looking classic. Well built.
  19. Great to see. Very well done. I don't think I have ever seen a full scale Cosworth Vega but always thought they were a significant car.
  20. Beautiful car. Beautiful model. Very well built.
  21. #33 - This is a tribute to one of the most favourite Hi-Boy Roadsters of all time - built and owned by Tom McMullen the publisher of Street Rodder magazine. I was able to duplicate most the features of this hot rod except for the flames.
