  1. Its looking real nice...Keep at it!
  2. Thanks guys!! A few more pics without the diorama background.
  3. I just finished this one over the weekend. I used a Revell chassis pan and scratchbuilt the cage and wheelie wheels and so on. It has Krylon citrus green paint and MM clear with a variety of Slixx decals. There is quite a bit of interior detail but I did this as a curbside so there is no engine detail. I hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!
  4. Nice work so far and I like the paint colors....Keep at it!
  5. Beautiful work as usual Chris.....Your attention to the small details is absolutely brilliant. Love it!
  6. Again....Thanks guys! Alan, what you can't see in the pics is a small bar attached to the frame that wraps around the fuel cell..it is 1/16 rod. I added a piece of sheet plastic to the bottom of the fuel cell/frame to cover up the hollow place in the bottom of the tank.
  7. Thanks everyone!!
  8. Great job Joe.....That work area is just too neat!
  9. Great job you're doing...I always liked Dobbertin's Nova also.
  10. Great job....Lots of nice details throughout and nice graphics also!
  11. It was a great show and met with some friends and I picked up a couple of kits for $15. That one vendor was selling kits 1 for $10, 2 for $15 and 3 kits for $20 and he had a good selection. I hope someone will post pics.
  12. Yep....Looks great!
  13. Bob, I do prefer the pro sportsman chassis pans for the simple reason that they seem more modern than some others. Even though they will fit most bodies with relative ease...They will almost always require modification also, but it may not be as drastic or as much cutting as it is on the older pro stock chassis.
  14. Thanks Todd...The front wheels are made from pieces out of my parts box. The wheel centers are actually wheel backs that are turned around to look like wheel fronts. I don't have a clue what kit they came out of though. I added some chrome trim rings from a funny car kit and they turned out pretty nice. Thanks again!
  15. Thanks much fellas!!
  16. Thanks Bob.....On this chassis from a pro stock kit it did require some modifications because its putting a 1/24 pan into a 1/25 body. I cut the entire wheel tub section off of the pan and removed a 1/4 inch section from the wheel tubs (because the tubs are too tall to fit up into the body) and reattached it to the pan. I also cut off the trunk area floor and cut a new piece of plastic for that as well. The front frame rails were also shortened (length and height wise) and I scratched a new roll cage and wheelie wheels. I didn't have to narrow the pan as it fit just fine width wise. Thanks!
  17. I called the paint Model Master Andrew, but it is actually Testors lacquer no. 1840 Flaming Orange over Dupli-Color grey primer. The paint is actually a bright color but it darkened some over the grey base. Thanks again!
  18. Thanks much fellas! A few more pics including some of the chassis Michael. This chassis is from a Monogram Bob Glidden pro stock kit. It takes a considerable amount of work to make it fit compared to the Revell pro sportsman.
  19. I just finished this one recently with a modified Revell Chassis pan, scratchbuilt cage, coil overs and so on. It has Model Master paints and a combo of Slixx and Revell decals. Lots of PE and some resin pieces also.
  20. Good stuff Leonard!
  21. Impressive work and nice pics also!
