Got the firewall glued in and smoothing out, but now the brain cells have to come out and play........figuring out just how to fill the cab to look good. With foam and stone work again!

It is i have learned alot from it, any more ideas?????

Always love to see this level of scratch building, awesome keep it up... can t wait to see the finished product.

Not much of an update, found a good shape of plastic for the poles base, not sure if i want the top layer or not on it! Still trying things out, may change it up to plexiglass, but may go wood floor, believe it or not this one is hard to get ideas for....

I have seen that too, pretty cool, wish i could get in on some of those scores.......

actually doesn't house of color have a color that name? would love to use house of color just don't know where to buy it, was thinking of using the one coat laquers and using bronze one, inca, and pure gold in a tribal type paint scheme, just not sure how that would work for patterns or i was thinking using the gold metal flake from testors under the lime gold as patterns in the paint. just throwing some ideas i have had out there.

Testing out the pattern, size and depth.

I haven't for gotten about the strippers delight but had another brain storm, turning a 1950 Ford into a custom aztec warrior complete with stone work pyramids and custom interior to look like stone work just like my (1941 chevy) hell train build i just finished. got the doors opened and ready to frame.... trying out something new for me anyway, skinning the top layer off of foam core to use for interior panels that i can carve intricate aztec designs in the door panels, dash, and roof. The bed will have a pyramid and other aztec design/shapes in it. so here goes, will try to keep up work on the strippers delight as well, but will see what happens.

scored this at my local model club meeting at the raffle, love the raffle.

thats awesome work love the color choices.....

This is my first try at de-assembling, stripping and rebuilding a hot wheel. This one has no wheels but will use it to fill the bed of either a f-150 pickup or a 1950 pickup for extra detail. Stripped and ready to go.... added some aluminum tubing for larger tail pipes... added some model rail road parts and watch parts and wire. Havent figured out a paint scheme or color yet...

I have never seen the level of detail in a totally scratch built vehicle. I have always wanted to scratchbuild a model but would never have the skills on your level, im sure it has been said here before but you are a scratch building genius with such a level of scratch building skills that you would never need a kit to build from again. You have totally inspired me to at least give a hand with more scratch building on every build, ill never be able to do the entire model but at least push for more in the future builds. Keep up the awesome work and can not wait to see what you do with the paint on this one.

what a great idea on the spray adhesive, really got to try that trick, thanks for sharing.

very cool love the seats.

I love themed builds and im loving this one, glad to see it coming together.!!!

wow what a super build a true artist love this car always have you are doing an awesome job!

wow that is cool love all the body work.

I have had this kit for a while and this may give me inspiration into building it. thing is when i sit the body next to other cars in the same scale it looks more like 1/32 scale to me but cant wait to see what you come up with. Following this topic for sure, great start.

love the paint that is totally awesome love the color. the silver was cool too.

that things sweeeeetttt!

Love the fiat on the bottom two pics, thats really cool

here here!!! would love to learn that, even thou i just own a lathe need to save up for the mill now, and i agree when someone else said earlier you should get featured in the mcm mag on maching skills very tight and totally awesome work.

yes other subjects, i juststarted modeling airplanes again after 23 yearsof only cars.

wow another masterpiece by the master this thing is unreal, man I got to try that. You are the man.
