  1. Cool old models ! I'd be interested in a couple but I went thru every link on every page of the website and there's no place to order anything .
  2. That looks really nice Ray ! Not into tractors either but I like it and I may just get one myself .
  3. Oooooo that's a nice color , beautiful !
  4. Nice one John ! Gotta love those pre-painted kits !
  5. Very very cool , and great execution ! I tried this very thing a few years ago but it never looked right , yours does !

    Looks great Ken ! This kit was always a bear to make look right , you got it right !
  7. Thanks guys ! Like I said this was my first Weird-Oh since '63 , I might have to try another !
  8. Thanks and I understand completely . While I do like building Toon models I've stayed away from the Weird-ohs , they just seem to be poorly done from the get go , in fact the last time I built one was 56 years ago ! It takes a bunch of plastic surgery to make one look decent but it's worth the effort , I hope you give Freddy a shot some time .

    '56 Chevy

    Looks darned good to me , beautifully done !
  10. A little fun building this for the "Ed Roth - Rat Fink - Weird-Ohs Reunion Contest" . It's built to appear box stock but the only parts not modified or replaced are his hands , the steering wheel , and his helmet . I started by redoing the eyes , moving them closer together and adding a more pronounced brow line . His body was narrowed about 1/2 inch and the arms were molded into the body , then a racing suit was simulated by adding the velcro collar and appropriate stitching with paint . It's finished by modifying his parachute to replicate a WWII pack and harness , along with a release lever . Digger's hot rod was also narrowed , reshaped , and a new cowl/firewall added so it looks like a T-Bucket . The frame is drilled and new front suspension added along with wheels/tires from Acme Diecast . Rear tires are modified Gridiron Grabber parts and the rear wheels from Forward Resin were modified to fit . The engine is from an Eye Gone Wild kit as are the modified headers . Mounting brackets were added to the Moon tank and a "Flying Eyeball" was added to the shifter . Finally the tire smoke and flames were made from sheet plastic and I printed my own decals .
  11. Looks right to me , very nicely done SFD !
  12. Great looking survivor in a classic color !
  13. Great looking car without a vinyl top !

    Great save !
  15. Great work ! Wouldn't mind seeing more of all of them !
  16. Very very nice , the look of a stock '29 Roadster can't be beat ! Your color choices are poifekt , great Box Art build !
  17. Interesting but not much automotive stuff there . My favorites are done by Dale Klee , I have several of his prints hanging on my walls . https://dalekleeart.com/collections/canvases
  18. Well look at that ! I'd say you figured out the smoke ! Just wondering . . . how would that look on a smaller scale model ?
  19. Never been into Police vehicles but your's is worth commenting on . . . super detailing and a great job overall !
  20. Love the traditional look and all of your extra details really add to it ! Excellent work !
  21. Excellent work on the conversion and the trailer , plus your added details really make this one stand out ! Great looking model !
  22. My thoughts exactly ! Beautiful model !
