  1. Really nice engine detailing! This build will look amazing when it's finished. Can't wait to see more. These old Funny Cars are always interesting to watch, keep it coming.
  2. Nice Brookwood! I like seeing these built. Color is great, and paintjob looks smooth. It's really shiny too. Engine looks awesome, detailing is great and I like the overall look. I have one Jimmy Flintstone's resin body of '60 Chevrolet Nomad waiting for my skills to improve. Your build looks really great, I'd like to see more of these.
  3. It's cool! That Blower engine looks nice. It's great that there's no hole on that hood, so everything fits under that. Colors are nice and I like the paintjob. Stance is also great. Keep these coming.
  4. "This image or video has been moved or deleted" ,so I can't see the pictures.
  5. More pics... Tried to make those chromed head lights bit more realistic... And here is the rear window test fitted on its place...
  6. Yeah, got the body polished and started the work with BMF. I haven't pics yet about the BMF anyway. Also finished the interior. Some clear orange to wooden parts and then just some detail painting. Steering wheel doesn't look right, but hope it doesn't matter too much from the finished model. Also I cut the rear window from acetate. It fits nicely, after I have installed foiling to body, I'll glue glass parts.
  7. Cool, all of them! Traditional cars, but not for that style. They are looking great so far, keep 'em coming.
  8. It's Revell's kit. They've made a new release of it too, but this one is the older one... That Vega looks like a great build, can't go wrong with Vega. Cool build.
  9. Looks like you've done good job with it! Chi Town Hustler is really great subject- I have one too. Engine looks really good so far, can't wait to see more work with it. And hope that weather gets warmer so you can paint it. EDIT:
  10. Not 1/12 scale, it's 1/24. I didn't find a picture from the boxart, but there's red car on the picture, raised rear end and five spoke wheels with Good Year tires. Great to hear that you have also one, but larger scale. When you have time to build it, I'd like to follow a topic of it.
  11. I installed rear axle and front axle system, tires, springs, propeller shaft etc. Now chassis needs only shocks. I also added brake lines. Brake master cylinder is from parts box, and I drilled holes for the lines, so they were lots of easier to install. And I installed the radiator wall, radiator and horn too. They didn't fit so nicely, but the end result is ok. Made water hoses. Installed wheels and tires.... Also painted the wooden part from the dash, it only needs some clear yellow, and detail painting and then I can install the steering wheel, which is also painted right now. I'll polish the body later today, so there might be coming another update. Stay tuned for more to come. Painted the center of taillight panel aluminium. It needs still some detail painting, before it's ready... Air cleaner is removable....
  12. This one is hard.. But I say model, because of few reasons.
  13. Well, you guys have nice treasures! Here are mine.... Not so special, but they are treasures for me.
  14. Heh, the name of your dragster should fit much better to this. Great job overall with it. I'm going to add some heat to it and try to make it straight maybe today, tomorrow, or.... Well, soon anyway.
  15. Nice build. What else could you expect, when John Teresi is the builder...? Paintjob looks good as always. Engine detailing is simply amazing, you are really talented... Engine is looking pretty wild when it's mounted like that. Great build, keep posting these older ones, if you still have more of them. I enjoy alot of watching these, and maybe someone else does also.
  16. Looks like racing didn't go well... I like how you did the scratches and dents. Weathering looks good. But maybe those taillight lenses should look good on their place, even if there are those wires hanging. But nice build, I couldn't do as realistic as that.
  17. Thanks! Well, I have about 40-50 projects WIP, but some of them are not going forward at all. Maybe some day, when I can get these projects finished.... I'm meaning Super Bee, '69 Nova, '57 Chevy, and Pontiac FC. Also this Rat Rod is going to be finished soon, hopefully.
  18. So you like to build Lowriders ? That's great. Impala looks really good too, and I've rarely seen '49 Mercury built Lowrider, but that one looks pretty cool to me.
  19. Also little update to the '32 Ford Bonneville Racer. I sectioned the door panels to fit with the sectioned body... They need still some more work, but this shows, where I am right now. Edit: Dr. Cranky, rust is something, you can't get with money. I mean in 1:1. And it lives long time, if people are not stopping it.
  20. It has been long time without no updates. This time I'm going to build this Rat Rod Pickup finished. It will take bit of time maybe, but no long breaks anymore. I built header for other side also, and installed spark plug wires. Glued the engine on its place and propeller shaft is glued too... Interior floor is built from some part from my parts box. I used bit of aluminium there. Glued the seats and pedals, which are scratchbuilt.
  21. Frame glued together... It was really hard to get it fit, and it's bit warped. I'm going to give some heat to it, carefully and then it maybe starts to look better. This is something, I was bit afraid about.
  22. Of course little engines are fast and powerful too. This is Finnish Competition Toyota Celica, driven by Mika Eloranta. Best time of it is about 7,0. And the team is looking for first six second pass. Little four cylinder engine with turbo.
  23. This is going to be great! I've been watching it, and can't wait to see the next update. Nice to see some Vegas being built too. Your work is stunning, I'm speechless and can't find correct words to tell, how nicely it's coming along.
  24. Nice "what if" build. I like it. Keep these coming. Paintjob on it looks real good and I like the color. I'm also diggin' the engine bay and chassis. Really nice build overall.
  25. Alright... Needs to get those decals, and now I know, where to find them. Thanks!
