  1. Thanks Roberto!
  2. Thanks! I always wanted to make a Fat Fender Forties Car with Big Fat Tires tucked underneath But I didn't think it would be a Deals Wheels style car....
  3. Thanks for the kind comments Chuck! I think coming up with a name is about as hard as picking the colors to paint it with. Since the 34 Ford Camino is part Chevy & part Ford, I thought I might call it "Ranchino" or "Camachero". I thought the name, Ford Camino word get peoples attention, plus I just like the name Camino.
  4. Thanks for the kind words Daniel! I think the construction photos are some of the most interesting shots in a project. I really enjoy seeing other modelers projects in progess too.
  5. Thanks for the kind words Andy! By the way, your resins creations are fantastic, I love them!
  6. I cut off the front of the frame and then cut 1/2" from the center. Glued it back together and put bracing in to strengthen the joint. This will allow me to mount the rear tires and tuck them in under the body.
  7. I painted the body with Testors Diamond Dust Silver and Tamiya Mica Blue. I am looking forward to applying the SKULL Decals, this should be fun!
  8. Got the final coat of Primer on...
  9. I made some progress with the SKULL Driver! He had 2 fingers up in a peace sign. I cut the middle finger and carved it to fit in the fist. Now the driver is giving the Number One sign. I made a back for the SKULL and did some jaw surgery to close the mouth a bit. I also added plastic strips to build up the jaw bone.
  10. Thanks for the kind words Darryl, Glad you like it!
  11. Thanks Jason!
  12. Thanks for the kind words Johnny!
  13. Thanks for the kind comments George!
  14. Thanks Jim!
  15. I wanted the side pipes to look like they are coming out of the side of the body, so I did some grinding... I ground out a groove for the side pipes with the Dremel Tool. Then I used a round file & sandpaper to shape it. Here is the pipe in place. Now for a little more primer!
  16. I modified the Tamiya 12th scale Testarossa front bulkhead & suspension to fit the Triangula. Looks like it will work just fine! I am using the exhaust pipes from the Honda 750 on the TRIANGULA. I cut the cap from a Sharpie Marker in half and glued half to each side. This will create openings for the exhaust pipes to come from.
  17. Got some primer on Triangula! Here is the rear view:
