This one looks good! I'm suprised to see something else than Drag Cars from your bench. Something bit different. Engine detailing looks good, and those wheels fit prefectly. And Happy Birthday!
-
Actually, I have no idea where it is from. But that one is just from my parts box. Maybe someone else knows better, I'd like to hear also where it is from... I could cast resin copy from that, but it is too hard to cast that part yet, maybe some day...
-
Thanks, Doctor! I like that red too, it's Revell's Enamel paint, number 30. Painted with spray gun. Here is again little update. I installed the interior. It fitted really nicely and it was very easy to glue on its place. Also I found battery for this one. It's Delco. I had to remove bit material from it, because otherwise the hood didn't fit. But now everything fits just fine, and battery needs to be painted... Here you can see the difference, polished body, but hood isn't polished yet.

Windshield and rear window installed. They fitted really nicely, and now I'm going to install the interior to body, and then coming the chassis. Hood needs to be polished also.

That bike is the best one, I think. It looks very good! Other ones are not bad, they are amazing too. GREAT job on them!
-
Thanks, everyone! Sometimes I draw very much and sometimes I'm not doing this for an week maybe. But I'm trying to get better... I'll keep an eye of those books, if I find them, needs to buy if I have money. And now I could continue that Futurliner bus. Thanks all!

Thanks for the pictures! Now I got it, that styrene back makes it much stronger, I meant that if that back is made from can aluminium, then it should be bit weak maybe. But I haven't tried yet, so maybe it should be great like that also. But with styrene back, no problem, that's the way, I'll be building it. Thanks. and yes, I like that square tubing too, it's way better.

Great concept! Turbine car is really nice, but Wagon version looks even better! Really nice, color is great, because it's not that original one. Maybe it would look better clean, but that's not bad. Amazing job with it, keep these coming. Turbine Car Pickup should be really nice too, or maybe 4 door sedan...

Really cool Corvette! WIP was great to follow. Nice idea of a Mid Engine Corvette, and you've built it very nicely. That color fits nicely, and that top looks good with that fiberglass effect. Great build overall, engine is really nice too.
-
I've seen great drawings here, and I think, I post something, I've been trying to draw... I'm not good at this, but I'm getting better slowly. I usually draw cars from the side, but this '59 Cadillac was something different... And now I'm trying to draw Futurliner Bus, let's see how it turns out... As I said, I'm not good at this, just wanted to share these.

Great paintjob on this! Those bubbles are looking very nice, and all in all, the paintjob is amazing. Like the stance, and those wheels look good. I'm not sure about that modern engine, but that doesn't matter too much. Really nice build!
-
Thanks, Andy,Randy and Tyrone! It was about time, yes, that's true. Maybe next week I paint some more, but now needs to wait until the paint is completely dry, then I can start sanding. And that's really weird, that Andy goes across this topic, and then bit later there comes an update after long break. Maybe I could continue the chassis while the body is drying.

Trumpeter 65 Ranchero ..... Box Stock

Really great build, and this one shows, the kit is really great too! Nice paintjob, very smooth and shiny too. I like those wheels and tires, they look very realistic. Engine bay looks great too. I like it, this is a must have kit. Maybe stock, or Mild Custom... -
Thanks, Nick! I posted wrong picture there, but now I fixed it, needs to think, how I couldn't realize that I posted picture from '57 Bel Air's hood here.....
-
Thanks, Chris and Tyrone! Next needs to cut the rear floor away. I'm trying to keep it going, but now needs to finish '57 Chevy to the model car show.
-
Thanks, Paul! Yesterday painted this one, but I'm not so happy about the end result. Needs to sand a bit of it, and then new coat of paint. Hope it looks good after that.
-
Hood is now painted. Not perfect, but it will look good after polishing, and bit of BMF will give a finished look to it, hopefully. Body is now cleaned up inside, and glass parts will be glued tomorrow.
-
This looks like model to me, maybe bit larger scale.... Let's see on friday when comes the right answer.

Thanks, Bart, Randy, Chris and Brett! I've been using aluminium from beer cans, and it's really good stuff, and easy to use. But for the wheel wells, I must use bit thicker aluminium, otherwise they are too faint/weak..... But for the new floor, I'm going to use beer can aluminium. And it would be nice to see those pics, from those Nova parts. I had to make that tube square, because I didn't have other than round tube. Easy job, and the tube looks pretty good, when it's square. Here is just a little update. I added few more tubes to that rear frame basis, which was built on the previous update. I did shorten it, and now it's just correct size. Well, now needs to cut the rear floor away, then it's possible to do some test fitting. Also needs to find racing rear axle for this build, then I can fit tires in, and see how it's going to look, and if I have to change something.

Really nice, that rust looks very realistic, I'd like to get that level too on weathering. I like the look with rusty body with clean wheels and tires. This one looks really good...
-
Amazing work, and if this truly is your second model, I'm really impressed! Great job so far, keep us posted. That engine looks really good, and of course Chevrolet W-Block is nice to see, as you maybe can think from my "screen name".
