Art thanks for the information. I didn't know that they had a dry sump system. Although the engine is wrong at the bottom end I would not change it now. Do you know if the bigger Offy's were available in a kit or in resin?

They are fromReplicas Miniatures of Maryland. Great castings

Who is Henry?

Adam, you had left your military history behind you. Great weathering as I know from you! Well done

Adam, that's a cool one. Looks similar to a '30 that I build

I got a´06 PT Crusier 2.2CRD and a '52 Ford F1.

This time the finished '32 Vicki. In the first step I want to use the amt Vicki together with an Revell '32 Sedan. But it came the other way round. It is nearly a complete aftermarket project. I used from Replicas miniatures of Maryland:Body, Ardun heads, intake, S.CO.T blower, rims, grill, rear axle, scoops, headers and the chassis Modelcar Garage: Steering wheel, Strombergs, Grill and interior parts Modelhaus: Big'n'little white walls RB Motion: Coil over shocks The paint is British Racing Green from Zero paint.

Here are some pictures from this years On the Road Show in Jabbeke/Belgium. Beside hundreds of truck models lots of car models were on display. One of the greatest modelers Juha Airio was also there and he is a great man. It was nice to talk to him. His work is awesome. Here are some models from him and other modelers. Picture 1 -4 are from Juha Airio More pictures in my albumhttp://public.fotki.com/carsntrucks4you/model_shows/on_the_road_show-2/on-the-road-show-21/

The model is based on a real car that was covered in Rodders Journal #49. It will get a Flatty with Ardun heads and SCOT Blower together with B&W Drag Slicks on 5 slot Halibrands. Here the first pictures More picture see my blog

The body is from Modelhaus, chassis and engine from amt '49 Merc Resin

The palm and some figures are still in progress. So the first step was the finished Merc

Now it is finished

That is what I need for my real car. Great Dio

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Here somme more pictures of my Woody.

Based on a technique that Steve Boutte shared in another forum I made this Tuck'n'Roll Usually I use half round stripes to replicate Tuck'n'Roll. This method I saw the first time in a posting from Steve Boutte. Steve thanks for sharing this technique. Materials: Silicon - use your favorite one Arcyl paint i.e. Schmiecke or Lucas Tuck'n'Roll tonneau cover i.e. '59 Chevrolet El camino from amt Steps: Make a mold of the tonneau cover. Pure some of the archly paint in to the mold Let it dry Peel it of the mold Cut to the size that you need Modified seat from '49 Mercury from amy Yellow arcyl Tuck'n'Roll added to the seat

Thanks Jarius these are the pictures that I'm looking for. But the floor is 4 mm too high.

After working on an other project I go back to my London bus. After a closer look on the Revell Bus and the Sunstar Bus (Diecast) I must say that Revell made a very good copy of the Sunstar bus. The only differences between is that Revell made a plastic kit and made longer the RML . So it is not a exact copy, but it has the smell of a copy. The chassis is exactly a copy of the Sunstar model, same simple front axle and rear axle. But the steering of the Revell one is a piece of ######! The drivers compartment is also a copy. if you want to place a driver in your model you have 2 possible ways to do it. Cut the legs and the butt of the figure or build a new floor. Does some of you have good pictures of the drivers compartment of a RM? The internet is not a good choice After my first joy to get this bus, I get more and more disappointed about this kit.

Here the finished deckchair. I had printed the stripes on tissue, like I usually do this with my mexican blankets.

Part of the beach scene will be a deck chair. I'm not sure about the cover fabric, so I have to search the internet for some ideas. I used 2 x 2 mm wooden strip for the chair

Here a picture with some more parts added

Here a mock up of the beach scene Here one of the surf boards Here some more pictures
