FIREMODELMAN

I custom make these with a glass dome.

After a long absence I have returned to the model car world. I see a lot of great new post's I'm going to have to catch up on.

GEEZ, stay away for a little while and see what I miss. That is a really nice kit bash - scratch built model.

Interesting topic, as I was just telling my wife last night I have lost ALL of my motivation. I don't know why either. It seems to come and go for some reason. I just recently ordered some models on line, and I'm hoping that when they arrive it'll all come back. But to get back on topic, I generally use older build up's, on line photos, and he builds of my fellow modelers, when things are going good .

Hello, and welcome. I'm also a Buckeye. From the Southern part, down by Cincy.

Very nice job. I like the chrome pin stripe as well. Neat idea.

The model looks great. But what I like the most in this post is what you said about kicking your habit. AWESOME MAN. Let THIS HABBIT take over now. You'll have much better results.

Thanks you very much guy's.

Nice, I like those altered wheels. Was it easy to modify those?

WHOA. Now that's a TRUCK! Very well done.

Here are a couple picture's of the engine installed. Radiator wall and fire wall are next to be put in, and then I can start running all these wire's to the correct place. Thanks for looking,Dave.

Thanks guy's. I've just finished painting the frame up, and installed the engine. I'll get pics tonight after work, but I'm kinda done till I get the resin body and interior.

AWESOME brush work Larry. Looks GREAT.

Going to be a nice one Wayne. I'll keep my eye's on this one.

Thanks for the compliments guy's. Tom, I have a few saved pic's of those Boston cars. I've wanted to do one myself. Although after I went over my stock on hand, I don't have anymore 'Biscayne" scripts left. She may just go together as an Impala wagon. Time may permit trying to order more?

Cool. I like the door spade.

Love It. Looks GREAT.

I kind of have feelings I the middle. When you show your work to a MODEL BUILDER, and they say it's as good as a diecast , I take it as a compliment. But when you show your work to those who don't build, and think it's a 'TOY'. No compliment.

Very nice, but to rich for my blood. It does have awesome details, and would be super huge in 1/25 scale.

Is that an Airport snowblower?

WOW. That's ALOT of truck.

That's going to look really good with the Aero Max. I'll be watching this thread to see your progress.

I love the 'flip top' option. Great idea. You gotta do it know, since you showed us that engine and how good it looks.

KUDO'S TO YOU KurseD. For sticking with this project. A lot of guy's would have tosses it in the junk pile, and started something else. All GREAT advice on the paint. I'm partial to Dupli-color Acrylic Enamel. I get fast dry times and lots of good results. Keep up the good work, and welcome back into the hobby.

It looks to me that you have excellent skills. Those are coming along nice. I've never built 2 of the same kit at once. Seems like fun.
