  1. I had to go back and find that four engined boat and that thing is W I L D ! ! John - you're creations amaze and delight me.
  2. Good looking progress Richard. Are you planning on putting the tool box that's on the floor on a table or cabinet? I know I would get a sore back leaning down all the time to get a particular tool. Carry on.
  3. Tim - that is some quality stuff right there. I could study your builds for hours and wish that one day I could see some of them in person. Kudos.
  4. One final project. Still working on this one and am in limbo until my wheels come in. Functioning steering on my lifted 1/25th scale Jeep with functioning u-joints in the steering knuckes. I'll have more on this later.

    I have to agree with everyone Brett, this is so cool, well executed and insanely well thought out. Yup, post a pic of the guy under the Mustang as he's doing all the work and not getting any credit.
  6. Next is a few shots from my Fiat Altered build, which is still an on-going project until I'm happy with the paint. The entire front axle, suspension, batwings and radius rods are all scratch built and the steering is functioning as is a requirement in all of my builds. Also, some of the other scratch built items include the butterfly steering wheel, seat and all of the interior tins are made from printing plate. This thread is amazing and inspiring as well. I'm dialed in and now that I've found it, I check it first thing everytime I get on the forum.
  7. I gotta get in on all the fun here but most of mine pales in comparison to some of the highly detailed scratchbuilding going on in this thread. Here's my Carny Wagon. The entire living quarters is scratch built along with everything inside it. This includes the guitar, food canisters, pot bellied stove, metal sink, coffee pot, matchbook holder by the door including red tip wooden matches, etc.
  8. To all who have posted...you are all insane and I thank you for sharing your genius. Truly awe inspiring stuff. This Board has Talent.
  9. WOW, that was alot of work and I really appreciate having access to them. Thanks for sharing. You da man!!
  10. Love how this turned out. Just curious, is everything glued in place or are they 'positioned'? BTW - you have a PM.
  11. Exquisite stuff bro.
  12. Thanks for checking in Bill. I really appreciate you checking this out. I'm on hold for the time being until my rims come in from Jim @ MicroNitro.
  13. Love it immensely. Nicely done.
  14. That is spectacular James. I really like the look, stance and weathering of this and I also like your concept of not adding too much detail to the base. Nicely done.
  15. What a sweet ride Tyrone. It was fun to watch this come together in the build section and now it looks even better. Love that color. Congrats on a great build. You are the master of these straight liners and keep putting them out like a factory.
  16. Yup, those look great. Glad they turned out nice. So are these the finish paint color?
  17. Looking forward to it Ty.
  18. Don't do that Dave. Get busy and finish it up. I'm hoping to have this along with a few others done for Desert Scale Classic in April. Are you planning on attending?
  19. I don't say this to many of the fellas but Bill, your rear end is amazing. I'm in utter awe of your mad and creative skills. Carry on brother.
  20. Those bootscame out great Chris. Awesome job. Now when are we gonna see some paint besides primer?
  21. Really cool build and I love the engine detailing. Nicely done trick with the seats.
  22. I really liked this one when it was in the magazine and fell in love with it all over again after reading this thread and looking through you photo site. Great job Tim. I see one of these in my near future.
  23. Very cool thread James. Please keep this going.
  24. Chris – thanks for the compliments and I'm also anxious to see what Jim comes up with for rims. I can't really continue with the chassis until they get here. Mike – Thanks for tagging along on this build. I've wanted to do this steering for some time and felt there was no time like the present. OK, fella, since the chassis is kind of on hold, I've been working on the engine and finished up the fuel lines to the double pumpers. This was quite a challenge because I had to enlarge some RB Motion hex heads to fit the fuel lines feeding the carbs as well as make the fuel distribution blocks. All of this took a good portion of today not counting a trip to the hobby store across town for some Alclad II to airbrush the headers on my Willys pickup. I digress. Here's a few progress pix. It sure looks like the carbs are a bit too big but its mostly the close photography that kind of "fisheyes" the items that are close to the lens making them loo distorted. Thanks for checking in and comments welcome.
  25. Thanks anyway Steve. Let us know how it was dealing with that vendor and how your purchase works out for you.
