Dude, all you need is to press that tiny button on the camera hat shows a small flower. And Daylight. And something to put he cam down while making pics. Like a box, or dirctly on the table, or whatever.

Here are some more pics on the small displaybase that I built, some as a deeplink due to maximum size of attached files in the forum: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterzumbi/UN/un29.jpg http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterzumbi/UN/un36.jpg http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterzumbi/UN/un34.jpg http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterzumbi/UN/un33.jpg http://www.majhost.com/gallery/misterzumbi/UN/un32.jpg

Hello there. This is my latest finished model, I usually take my time, like a year with a build, but here was a deadline involved so 200 hours and thet thing was done. It is not what I usually build, but there is an intereting story involved, for those who are interested, read on, who is not, scroll down for pics. As I owe three vintage cars there is no way that you do everything by yourself, so you meet people, in forums, on carshows, small meetings wherever. About 3 Years ago I met Toby, who is possibly one of the funniest people out there and has more than 2 million miles in old cars and trucks on his "acount". When I met him he was only able to walk with help, and owned (among others) a 124 Merc 200 Diesel for daily transport that he drove with vegetable oil, now he is fully bond to a wheelchair. Few months ago he had to let the Merc go because it slowly wasn't possible to drive (Automatic of course), but he didn't wanted to sell it, so he drove it in his parents barn and just can't sell it. I understand hat, I hate to let my cars go. Once in a while you see pictures of that thing on Facebook, seeing him missing this car so much, I decided that it would be a cool gift, so I simply build it. The real car was white when the dude bought it, as for Toby the only reasonable thing you could do with a "###### car like that" was to sticker UN on it. The Model itself is a Revell built almost OOB, with some minor detailing and of course adjusted paint scheme, I recreated every single rustspot, stonechip, sticker everything. Even two passports and a map to the Northcap where the car has been can be found. Enjoy!

Add weaethering. Maybe some metalflake on the roof?

Altered Wheelbase. NIIIIIIIIICEE! Selfmade or Kit?

Rear tires: http://www.kitreview.com/reviews/images/famoreviewbg_4.jpg Fit perfect, nice tread, nice size difference to the front tires which are most likley from an AMT 49' Merc... I will show some more stuff in time. Patience.

Sweet! I want one!

Sorry for diggin' this one out, but the Weathering is' simply amazing, and rdicolously real. Therfore I couldn't left this one without a comment.

Bill Hines would be proud of you!

This is awesome. The stance is brilliant. Top notch, but again, dude, wash the doorgaps and the Vent. It would bring that thing to life so much more.

Pretty, oldstyle, Rocks. One thing though, a wash in the doorgrove and it will be a blast.

Here is something that you either like or hate. Was a try to make a Bonnevile car. I dug it for a while, then washed it (the "salt") off. Body is a '32 five window, frame is whatever, interior is scratch wheels are sixties-something Mercury, Tires a 49 Merc up front, and whatever in the back. Engine is from a Pontiac GTO, scratch built headers, intake and carbs, scratch linkage, fuel cap in the roof, chopped, channeled, and so on...

I can put up some more stuff if you wish... How is the limit of postet pics within one reply?

Plymouth... How 'bout a Hemi 'Cuda? What 'bout a Dodge? Webside, no. I don't have. Paranoid about People printing that Stuff on shirts or whatever. I use Copic Markers, Paints, Pens, whatever comes handy, or is on my desk while I draw. Mostly I would draw just like that, not Chip Foose style, with rullers and whatnot. I can photograph if I want it real. Sometimes I use Adobe Illustrator to get some Prints, I like the cleanliness of the colors: Here are some Photographs:

Well, I am not sure that you saw them like this on the streets back then. Too rusty, I guess they would shot some color, or at last primer it. The real car is more or less under construction, and will eventualy see paint. It was built out of a sedan that had it's back chopped of during the war and a simple bed added, kinda like a stake truck thing. All due to the gasoline rations, you drove a truck, ya got more gasoline. The bed and the back of the cab was fabricated from scratch on the real thing. Owner lives in germany, and those parts are hard to come by, but he is a Yoda welder, so he did it just like that, It actually looks like it looks because there was a 10 month deadline to have it going... The whitewalls are built on reversed. Aparently a common thing back then, today it's that way because the dude who owns it just likes them blackwalled and wanted to have bias ply firestone all around. Good choice. Although I would build hem on the right way round. Nosferatu... Yes. Why not?

So it is:

Ahoi on Deck! New here, no idea if you introduce yourselves somwhere around here, or just post, or whatever. So I thought the best introduction would be droping in some pics of my stuff. Been building cars for a while, but everything for myself. Never joined a club, never learned any techniques from others, tinkering for myself all these years. Never got any display possibilities, never showed that stuff to anybody but friends. Take my time, like a year with a build, since I keep real old iron on the streets, work, and have other interests besides building tiny cars. I build when I am in the mood. Inspired and strongly influenced by period correct cars, self cut date for American tin would be 197X, but tending more towards the fifties, for anything else that has four wheels it's 1982. Found this forum a while back, registered today, because why not. So yup, there you go, 29 Ford from Revell, or at last most of it, scratch doorcards, scratch bed, lowered a bit, reversed whitewalls, steelwheels, zenith on stock intake, some extras, fourbanger, blah blah blah. Rock 'n roll all around. Built after a real car that was built by someone I know. Enjoy!
