Baby Girl's first W.I.P.
W-409 replied to Badluck 13's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great to see young girls building too! Interesting project, can't wait to see more progress. -

W-409 replied to Romell R's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
YeeHaw, nice to see this Pro Mod Daytona back on the bench. Good work with those doors, and engine detailing is truly amazing. Keep it going, I'll keep watching this one. -
69 camaro parts box / stress relief 10.5 project
W-409 replied to thumper86's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
This is going to be great, nice job on the frame, and body looks very good too. Can't wait to see more work, Camaros are always nice to see. -
Wow, thanks guys for the information. I'll build another driveshaft loop, I guess there can be two of them? Dale, that'll be very interesting project! Little update too. Interior is finished, tachometer is from Revell Jukebox Ford, and that needed just a little styrene before painting. Painted it to match Autometer's Pro Comp cauges. Wires are from Detail Master, they are Detail wire, painted with different colors, just like in 1:1. Carburetor got some detailing too.
-
Yeah it really is. Restore will take long time...
-
Thanks guys! Dale: What car you're going to build? F/Stock is a category inside Stock Eliminator, and this Nova could be A/Stock or something like that too, if it is with bigger engine. So if you build Stock Eliminator car, it can be other that F/Stock too... Little update coming bit later today.
-
I built that driveshaft loop today. It's made from aluminium, and actually I'm not 100% sure if it is in right place, or not, but I've seen them on that place too... I've installed also the firewall, but I'll post more pictures when I can get the interior finished, it doesn't need much parts anymore. Oh, pictures are too sharp-it looks much better in person.
-
Thanks Aaron. It's not the Nitro Bird, it's Burnout Bird by AirFix. Great kit, bought it with 5 euros, and only engine, wheels and tires were missing. Here's a picture of that kit when I bought it.
-
This is nothing compared to winter one year ago... We had almost two times more of that snow then. And oh, yesterday it was snowing quite hard, and now there's bit more of it.
-
I guess this Pontiac FC belongs here.
-
Can anyone take a picture of those inner fenders on the front. Would be very appreciated.
-
Turned out awesome! When you posted the WIP thread in "On the workbench", I was looking that your Impala, which was built in 2004 looks very cool. The style and stance etc. are just perfect. And this new version, is as cool as the Old one, but building skills are better, so the finishing is truly amazing also. Both are great builds, thanks for sharing.

flea market find (update) all done now in "under glass"
W-409 replied to stulee11's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Great job with it... But actually what car is that? Somekind of Japanese, maybe Nissan? Great job with those body modifications, it'll be very interesting build, even if European or Japanese cars usually aren't so interesting. -
Very good looking interior and chassis. Painting is done nicely, all of the parts look like they could be straight from the Lancia factory. This will turn out as amazing build, I'm sure about it.
-
Well... It's a long story, but the guy who sold it for me, said, that he has seen it first in 1983-'85, and it was white with red and white chassis, and red and black interior. It had lots of antennas and lights (like in Rally car). Other versions of that Mustang, he rememberes are red almost Factory Stock Mustang, Red and Black Custom, blue Custom and black race car, with Targa Top. It has been also convertible and Pickup. Body has many cracks, because of little accident when it was blue Custom, and because of many times paint stripping... So that's why I'm restoring it, just for the history.
-
Here in Finland it has been snowing now for few days, and now the backyard looks like this... Now just needs to guess, when the snow plow comes and plows that road clear... Well, there's no problem with our Jeep, but some others might have little problems with the snow.
-
Look for the Drag Racing Models section, and '69 Nova F/Stock... It's still WIP, but hopefully gives you an idea. I've built one '72 Nova and '63 Nova AWB before, but they are so old builds, that quality isn't perfect.

1-8 scale 69 camaro pro mod (mike hill's car)
W-409 replied to comp1839's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Yeah, that body looks VERY good. And it's Huge too, since it's bigger scale. Details must be easier to make in this scale, right? You do awesome work, can't wait to see more pictures. -
Heh, That smaller scale is great, just because there are more kits in 1/25 than 1/16 or bigger. And I can see something, but how long? Maybe needs to move on bigger projects too, when I can't see anymore. As for the engine, I'd like to see Blown Supercharger, but they are seen so often, that maybe TwinTurbo, even if it's not the number one thing in my mind. That Belt mounted Super Charger would be cool too, but I'm not sure about it in Pro Mod car... I haven't ever seen PM car with that, but don't know the rules there. Is it so, that NHRA doesn't run Pro Mod, it's IHRA what runs PM too...?
-
Ryan, Looking really good so far, keep it coming! Little update for '79 Outlaw Mustang restore... I built another version for those A-pillars, they are original parts from this kit, and with some styrene I managed to get them fitted. Now building new front "spoiler" and then some bondo... Needs to build Cowl Induction scoop for the hood...

The Hornet's Nest: Hudson Hornet Build Madness!
W-409 replied to Dr. Cranky's topic in Community Builds
I've done some painting on the seats, but no picture yet. I must do just very little cleaning before I can post picture. -
Thanks, Dirk! Jim: That looks like very interesting build, I'll be wathcing VERY closely. That Chrysler 300C chassis fits nicely on that body, it would be nice to have that kit- or at least body from it.
-
I was quite sure, that it's Real, because I've seen some other pictures of that Rat Rod.

65 chevy stepside truck
W-409 replied to stulee11's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks like great build! That paintjob is cool, and even if those colors are not my favorites, they fit pretty well on this. Not a big wheel guy, though, but clean build. Engine detailing is incredible, thanks for sharing. Ten Points!
