car lover 1996

Hello I think one of my next scratch building projects will be some kind of rv or camping trailer. I will need some sheet styrene for the sides of the camper but I dont know what kind to get. I need that ribbed camper kind of look. You know, that aluminum stuff that campers are made of. Here is a picture of a camper with the texture I want to replicate. Thanks

thanks, these seem like good tips.

Hi guys, I have another question on how to make a custom license plate. I want to make one of those front plates that the dealers put on that say their dealership name and the brand and town the dealership is in. They usually have a plain white backround and that is why I cant use the acme license maker because you need to have a state picked and cant get a plain backround. I wanted to make one for my local ford dealership (and since it is a local dealer, I cant find a picture of the plate online). So if anyone can help me or has ideas, leave a reply. Thanks

that looks great ! I love the outside scenery like the dog and the fence.

thats nice. I always wanted one of those kits but there so darn hard to find and expensive

mine was the revell motor city muscle 35th annivirsary 2002 camaro. I still have it down the basement

I love that! It looks so real

thanks

Hello guys, I need this monogram ford duallie kit and have been looking for it for a long time and just cant find it. The only thing I did was look on ebay and the only thing I could find was the decals and one kit for 65 dollars If any of you could help me I would appreciate it. Here is the kit-

Hi everybody, My next big project will be the squad 51 vehicle from the old TV Show EMERGENCY. Of course I will be using the amt little red dodge truck for the cab and frame. And since the truck in the show is a 72 and not the 78 like the kit, I have to switch the grille to the older style. I found a 72 in resin. But if you guys could give me any other information about where to get parts or maybee you even built one before I would appreciate the help. I guess the only thing I really need to know is where to get the right wheels. I also plan on building the utility box from sheet styrene. They were putting the show on again and I have tto build it. heres the truck

thank you very much bruno! I will be ordering one soon

Hi I was wondering who makes a 1972 dodge pickup grille in resin and where can I get one. I was thinking of doing the squad 51 truck from the EMERGENCY show and to be accurate, I will need the 72 thanks heres a picture of the grille from a dodge truck ad.

hey I never thought of that. When I get my lowbed trailer,I will put it on.

Its hard to explain but what I did was first brush on the testors rust colored enamel from the jar and use plain brush strokes and some spotted areas and brush on flat black in some areas like the top of the tank. Then I sprayed a light mist of flat black from a spray can over it to give it a dusty dirty look.

yeah, they sold it on ebay !!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is another project I did. It is a weathered 1926 Mack Bulldog chaindrive by Monogram. It was a project that I started and stopped on it for a while and decided to work on it again. It was a very nice kit and I am happy with it. here it is

I love your work!

Yes, the astros and titans are on one of the top trucks on my favorite list too. The aero sounds like a great project to do. You dont see the later astro aeros very much.

thank you very much, Im glad people think that I do good work.

I was thinking of building one from scratch. You could use a c series cab, frame and probably the engine and most of the interior. With a little modification to the cab, you could have a nice truck to add to your collection.
