That looks cool! Also like the wheel choice.

Now there's a real "Rockwell Moment"... :lol:

The models look fine, from what I can see... Try using a tripod. Your photos are way out of focus, so it's hard to critique what we can't see. Practice with the camera until you get the photos in focus...

Maybe even a mismatched set of tires... 3 WWS and a BW, fer instance. BTW... have you started your "homework assignment"?

Amazing work, V. But one thing really seems to jump out. Those whitewalls look TOO CLEAN! They're spotless! How about a little dirt, or a stain or two, or a mark where they rubbed the curb... or something!

Well, of course the engine burned up. I didn't see a radiator anywhere!!!

Let's see... Cat herding. Tibetan throat singing. Poltical subversion. Riding my unicycle. And basket weaving. Not all at the same time, of course...

Ditto to what Mark said. It'll never win a contest? So what! Not all of us can build "contest quality" models. But no matter what level your skills are currently at, this is the place to share your work. There are a lot of really talented builders here, but there are also a lot of "regular guys" too. We're all one big family. Skill level isn't important. What's important is that we all share a common interest!

"Undead"? Since it's white (sort of), I guess it's a ghost? Not a whole lot of ground clearance on that front axle, is there? I hope there are no cracks or potholes in his world! I like how you color-coordinated the underhood pieces... nice touch.

Or Pencil Pusher!

George, I'm not sure how Fotki works, but if you have your photos in a photobucket album, all you have to do is click on the last line of text below the photo (it's labeled "IMG code"). By clicking on it, you have just automaticaly "copied" that text. Now go to your MCM post window, and simply "paste" (Control + V on a PC, apple key + V on a Mac) that copied text into your window. In your message window you should now see a line of gobbledygook that begins with [ IMG] and ends with [ /IMG]. It'll look something like this: [ img]http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j269/harrypri/misc/photobucket.jpg[ /img] That's your photo's "address" in computer lingo. That string of text tells the computer where the photo you want to post is located (in this case, on the photobucket site). While you're still looking in your post window, you'll see that line of text, but when you click the "submit" button, that line of text is telling the computer where to find that photo... and the photo will be displayed as an image in your posted message. If the photo does not appear in your posted message, the photo's "address" was not copied and/or pasted correctly. In that case go back and try the "copy/paste" thing again. It sounds complicated in words, but once you get the hang of it you'll see it's incredibly easy.

Thanks, AA!

Keep it up!

I agree... the body-color chrome trim looks a bit odd...

Nice! But strange... coming from an "airbrush addict"!!!

But that's the whole point! He's looking for the answer! Tell us, man!

Wouldn't keeping the size of each drop consistent be almost impossible?

Oh, and you can also foil the window trim, door handles, etc., all without disturbing your previous work.

No need to strip the paint. It would be a shame to "deconstruct" your model! The marker lights can simply be detail painted with a small brush, and the trim done with foil. Same with the bed floor... you could detail paint the "wood" with various mixtures of brown/yellow/red/black. or even use woodgrain decals to make the bed floor look like wood. All of that can easily be done to your existing model without "undoing" anything you've already done.

But back in those days, weren't vehicles.... especially work-type vehicles... actually painted crudely, with a lot of paint slapped on fairly thickly? I've seen cement mixers from the 20s... chain-driven Macks... with the paint looking very thick and filling the gaps between the rivet heads and the surface... actually forming a small "fillet" around the edge of the rivet head. But enough of my "labor-saving" ideas. You don't need me telling you what to do.

"Sattalight"?

Yeah, my employer and I usually get along pretty well...

Any gap between the surface and the bottom of the "rivet head" would me mighty small... primer and paint would pretty much fill it. Hey... I'm just trying to make your Labor Day less labor-intensive! I'm always looking for the easy way!!!

Very clever method of creating river heads, but mucho labor-intensive! Nobody should be working that hard on Labor Day! How about using common pins (the kind with the semi-circular head that looks exactly like a rivet?!!!) Drill your hole, put a small drop of CA on the shaft of the pin, and insert. Presto! Instant rivet head! All in one step! They even come in different sizes, to replicate various rivet sizes.
