1963 Galaxie Super Stock newbies first finished post, ! be gentle
W-409 replied to Biffo's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Very nice and clean build. That paintjob looks great, and I like that engine detailing too. Great to see older Stockers or Super Stockers being built. They are one of my favorites. But the best was Junior Stock. -
1/16 Scale Army Vega Funny Car - Finished 10/14/2018
W-409 replied to Mooneyzs's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
This sure looks good! This needs to be the best Army Vega, I've seen. It looks as realistic as the 1:1 version, I think. Great job with it, those front spindles just look right. Really great job, I really enjoy about following this build. -
This turned out Fantastic!!! Details are so incredible and that paintjob is truly amazing. Really great stance and I really like those wheels and tires too. It's absolutely the best '69 Camaro Street Car, I've ever seen. I can say that, even if I can't remember all of them. It's just so amazing, could it be any better?

Great Hudson. I haven't seen Lowrider Hornet before in this scale. I got also one as a birthday present today. Really great kit, was there any problems with the build, fit issues, etc.? Color is very cool and paintjob looks good too. Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks, Virgil, Shane, Glenn, Erik and Chuck. This kit is really simple, but with some more work and fixing some little problems it can be built to look good. Flat black look fits fine to it. And it truly looks like '64 Fairlane a bit.

I won Arii's 1964 Prince Gloria model kit from Model car contest. It's 1/32 scale, and that kit doesn't have engine. I decided to build it as Mild Custom style with matt black body and gloss red steelie wheels. Just a fast build between more serious projects, it took about week to complete, but because I had no enough inspiration, this build was off the bench for few weeks. But now it's complete. I lowered the chassis and painted interior as two tone with red and white. I painted the body flat black, and chrome trim is painted with a brush. I used masking tape on the other side, but other side went without it. Grille and bumbers were painted by Humbroll's Polished Aluminium and grille was black washed with Detailer... Exhaust pipe was shortened and I drilled hole there too. Here are the pictures, please let me know, what you think.

After seeing your FrontEngineDragster, I can't wait to see more. Your building talents are amazing. The start looks very good, tires and wheels are really nice. Keep it going.
-
That looks pretty good, Andy! I was first thinking that index... 5.04 sounds pretty fast, untill I realized that it's for 1/8 mile... Didn't remember, you race very much on 1/8 mile too, we don't use that nowhere, except few Races on airport.

I haven't seen much '79 Camaros being built Drag Cars. Great to see one. And that frame construction looks very good, really great scratchbuilding. Can't wait to see more, very interesting subject.
-
This is very interesting. I'm glad to see you back on the bench, great job with that frame and engine so far. Detailing looks very good to me. Can't wait to see more, thanks for sharing.
-
Yeah, that Nova was very amazing, and this one is really amazing too! Great to see '69 Chevelle, and especially when it's Something else. I like the paintjob, really great shine. Wheels and tires are very beautiful too. Great job with it, can't wait to see those outside pictures.
-
Oh, now I remember that Honda, it's amazing too.
-
Great job with it. Personally I don't like pink cars, but if it's build for your little girl, that color is just perfect. Great job with it, I can see only one bad thing: When you cut chrome part off from the tree, there leaves little spot without chrome plating. Maybe try to paint or foil that away next time? But anyway, really nice and clean build. Nice detailing.
-
This is going to be interesting. Great to see '68 Impala on the bench. It's really sad, that there's no Round2 release, or any other re-release of this '68 Impala. It's much nicer than '67 Impala, which looks very good too. I'd like to have one, but looks like one Promo model on ebay costs "only" $163.00... That's right now 120 euros, but it's pretty expensive anyway. Hope Revell or any other factory makes kit from that car. I've seen newer kit from '58 to '67 Impalas, but not 1968.

MPC 1/12 1930 Bentley Racing Car
W-409 replied to John Teresi's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
All I can say is Wow! Great job with that mesh. This is going to be really amazing project as always. I'll be watching. Your scratchbuilding skills are awesome, very impressive. -
WOW, how I have missed this one?! Really great work so far, '55 Nomad is something, you can't see so often built Race Car. Great job on the body mods. It would be cool to see more, keep going.
-
Super clean Miura! I think, this is the only Lamborghini, which sure looks good. Body shaping is beautiful. Great job with the model too, I like that paintjob. Shiny, and great color too. There are nothing to complaine, very clean build all over.
-
Another Masterpiece from your bench, John! Great work with it, looks amazing even if I'm not a fan of this style Choppers in 1:1 scale. This looks very cool anyway, and that scratchbuilt "body" is something I can't understand, how someone can build something that nice!? Great job with the detailing again, and that seat looks very good too. Incredible build as always, this might be the best bike, I've seen. It might be the best just because I don't remember, have you built more motorbikes?
-
We've seen allready one incredible '53 Victoria Custom, and this is going to be another one. Great job with thw paint. I like the color and blue fits nicely with that white top. Great stance too. Keep it going.
-
For being your first model, it's great. I like that idea of matt black and gray primer combination. Maybe next time try to paint those chrome trims, or BMF will work on them too, but maybe painting is easier if you are building only second model. And one way to improve... Give some black wash on the wheels, now they look quite unrealistic, just because they are fully chromed and there are no black shades anywhere. But nice model anyway, great job on the first one!
-
I absolutely like it! Great color choice and shiny and smooth paintjob is great combination. I haven't seen much green Challengers, but looks like green fits nicely on this body. Great job all around, clean build and I can't find any mistakes. Maybe smaller wheels would fit better in my opinion, but those aren't bad anyway...
-
I must say, that I like that body shaping very much. It's clean and especially that look of the frontend is really nice, fender skirts are very good looking too. Nice paintjob, and I can see that bodywork is done nicely. Smooth paint and rough bodywork doesn't fit together, but this model doesn't have that kind of problems. Great color, very shiny and smooth.
-
Wow, great find! What's inside the box- how about the quality of that kit. Maybe the parts are not like in 1:1 car, but if there are lots of them, it's always better basis for the project. I bought Monogram's '70 Ford Torino GT 2 in 1. It's the Pro Modeler version. Really good looking kit, and it contains lots of parts and those parts look pretty good quality as well. Also there are some photoetch parts, and painting tips on the instructions, as well as some factory stock color combos. Really great kit, I'll be building it as E/Stock Drag Racer.
