Model Junkyard

Great job! amazing! It's gonna look great when finished. I used to paint many years ago... I should restart that hobby as well.

Hello guys, I will continue with this project soon. I'm moving to a new home and I'm quite busy with moving and all my hobby stuff is packed in boxes. Sorry, I'll come back soon!

Hello guys, here a short update of the work done this weekend. here is the engine compartment. Before... ...and after The steering wheel Some front axle details I hope you like it!

Hello guys, I want to share with you our new calendar for 2011. May be some of you guys like it for next year! Or for a friend maybe. Each picture is composed of a picture of a model car and a real landscape. Each model car was built carefully in 1/24 scale as a junk car. The model car's pictures are photo mounted on pictures of real landscapes creating unique junk car images!! I hope you enjoy it the whole of next year and I wish you a great 2011!

@jantrix: yeah! I can imagine! Well, let's continue with the Chevy. Here you see the original firewall and a picture of a real firewall printed on scale. The difference is so huge I decided to make it completely new... while doing that I actually realized that I had to make the whole engine compartment new. So here you have pictures of the firewall. I'll post pictures of the complete engine compartment as soon as it's ready. Before: After:

Thank you for your feedback! I love your avatar! I'm a big fan of retro pin-up girls. I think I was born in the wrong decade

Thank you guy for the positive feedback! @David G.: Yes, that putty is going to be dirt! @Railfreak78:The engine will be "incomplete", typical for a junkyard car, so you'll be able to see all details when finished. I'm working on a new firewall now. More picture coming soon! I invite you all to have a look at this calendar for 2011 that my brother and I finished a few days ago using pictures of our scale models. I hope you like it!

This is my '50 Chevy Pick Up. Some of you might already saw my other Topics and know that I love to photo mount the models on real backgrounds. What you see here are model pictures photo mounted on landscape pictures from holidays. There is no photo retouching on the models!

@vaughn: it's quite similar for me. Lots of childhood memories are connected to junk cars. If you subscribe our newsletter you'll get many of these stories. We are building some of those memories in scale models. Some kind of memories materialization. It's cool. @ronr: I had a look at you pics. You have great stuff there too! I love the junk pick up with the tree and the gas station diorama. I'll be building a model of that classic texaco gas station soon for this 1/24 diorama. I saw you have a picture collection of texaco gas stations there. I love those gas stations as much as classic cars. One day I will build a gas station replica on real size, close to my house, just to have the cars and all my hobby-stuff there. For the '57 Chevy 1/16 diorama I already scratch build this texaco gas pump:

David, your words could be 100% my words. What you describe is exactly what I feel and think about the junk model cars! Thank you for your post!

I recently discovered your thread. It's a great job what you are doing there on both scale and real car!! Just great!

I love the boxes in the trunk and the interior details! Just great!
