Love the paint on that Challanger, nice and paralell lines too!

Almost forgot about this faithful little servant, completely restored. The most irreliable vehicle i've ever owned, but it allways got me there, sooner or later. But now that i'm of drivers age (18 over here) i don't need it anymore, for some reason it just don't feel right to sell it tho.... Handpainting all theese in gold was a b**ch..

wouldn't a 70's winnebago be an awesome 1/25?!!

###### that sounds so great, i've promised myself that once i've made citizen, and bought and restored a -58 Lincoln Continental, i'm gonna go across all the 50 states in a row in it, my biggest three ambitions in life O.o, people allways mock me for my religious believe in Penzoil, but maybe here's someone who understand? The nyance of the yellow in the logo DOES matter, it should classic mustard yellow, not the modern racing yellow.... -
Oh, thank you! Now i'm gonna go hide,, over here....

Yeah, just like theese:

Amt 1957 Chevy Kustom w.i.p.(UPDATE NEW PICS 7/11/08)
JAFFA replied to just_a_doodz's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looking good! Gotta tell ya, i love the gold, i loved the silver, heck i even liked it in primer! As for the wheels, i say go for the T's. Just a quick suggestion tho, some 15" chrome reverse on ww's would really set that thing off and make it look really oldschool. Oldschool Oldschool Oldschool ........ admitably, i've got a pretty one track brain when it comes to 60's, 50's and below cars.... -
It's a Cutlass Coupe Would it seem that is a European extension or something?
-
Well, i'm not really goung for the styilish look here, more like something that looks like it was built in the Duke boys neighbours barn (or by all means my barn), used for outrunning cops and jumping creeks out in Dixie, pulling a trunk full of shine! Please don't hate me

Just a kegs of some completely ligit and perfectly normal premium home-made fully ekologic 65 percent rye, 30 percent corn and 5 percent malted barley fuel. (thats the reicpe for the completely ligit and perfectly normal fuel-mash) Thanks for the praise and tip , but i kinda wanted to cut a hole in the hood for the appearance of the car, and the hood in the AMT "rides magazine" -67 Impala wich i'm using doesent feature a stock hood anyways, i will change that tho. And with me just having two more weeks of work, and a salary of 5$ an hour, i'm not sure i can really afford to buy alot of stuff right now... I think i will be cutting up the blower to six pieces after a grid, and glue them together with some material in between each piece, if just the intake-part (? i don't know what it's called.. ) looks in-scale As a progress update: the body is in the brakefluid bath, due to problems with the primer, i was trying a new brand, and it didn't seem to lay down smooth and flat, if i it layed flat it was'nt smooth, and if it was smooth it was satin, after a few un-satisfying coats, and about four mist-coats to get it flat, the emblems and details started to get a little rounded, and it got full of dusties, a few fingerprints and i just got in a bad mood about it and started doing rash things...... no further comments on that.. Basicly i want the finnished thing to be a flat-grey, rusted beater, so it's pretty important that it is flat...

If you could only choose ONE photo of any of your builds, wich would it be?
JAFFA replied to JAFFA's topic in Model Cars
Oh, what an amazing detail! I would never have thought of that. -
Basicly replacing two fenders due to rust and the appearance of having un-matching colors on it (it will be bug-gut-green + Seablue), maybe the trunk lid, may keep the lid tho, it has a real charming dent on it, fix the floors so ya can get in without setting your foot through it.. And just drive it as a ratty piece of old a$$. Once i've rebuilt the engine... The Saab is a 900 GL Carburettor non-turbo, also up for restoration (even tho ya can get a close-mint condition one for about 300-400$ over here, but it would'nt be MY 900 ..) Edit: Some concept designs; Consul plans i've made for kicks: The serious consul plans (the only photoshop work is the purple background thingy, rustwater on the hood, and the blue fender (that's how the "finnished" thin will look like) And a better photo of how my consul looks like (before i dis-assembled the front and did the pinstriping): The serious 900 plans (early sketch):

I think ive got a bit of a challenge for ya'll: I've shown it here before, no one fully knew it then either Not sure how difficult this one is: One of the biggest regreats of my life is not buying this very car... and then theres this one: And this little concept, just for kicks:
-
I'll start with the pics, not much, just showing the tires im going for, and the two stances i'm choosing between. I think i prefer the "nose-down" one more, right? As for paint, im going for grey primer, with black rims (steelies). And the engine, i i'd like to put a blower on there, and i've got a 1/32 (?) maybe bigger scale toy-car engine with one on it, i think i can get it to look in-scale, some reference photos and pointers would be nice, since i don't really know that much about compressors... I'm also a bit unsure of how to fit my rims into my tires here, the steelies ive got are about 1-1½ mm to small in diameter (sorry, don't know what that is in inches..) Will hopefully have it painted by monday-tuesday. Thanks for reading!

Or like Hitlers reasoning "the bigger the better" with the lacking of fuel depots in field, many of the Tigers, Königstigers and jagdtigers, going on 190 Litres of gasoline per 10 Kilometres, were just left were they stopped, and due to his impatience not allowing proper prototype testing they often had flaws such as exploding exhaust systems due to backfire and lacks in the eshaust construction, often causing (especially the panther D) to burn from the inside, just so he could get another model out in the field. I know, i know, just didn't have anything else to show right now...
