Yenkocamaro Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hey Guys, just thought I would share some of my 1/18 collection. Cheers, Lance Edited June 13, 2015 by Yenkocamaro
AzTom Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Very nice, Lance. I never picked up any of the altered wheel base cars, may have put one on my list. What is the brick back drop. That's one thing I want to build.
angelo7 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Love the 1/18 scales. I also have the Beanstalk F-150, same color.
High octane Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I really like the two race cars on the trailer Lance, real nice!
Yenkocamaro Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 Tom, I built the backdrop for taking pics, quite awhile ago. There were two walls when I built it,(corner L-shaped) but the foam board, warped severely over time, and the sheet brick was popping off. I bought the sheet brick from Hobby Lobby in the dollhouse section. It seemed to be the proper scale for 1/18. I used brush on rubber cement to glue the brick on. I cut out the openings for the door and windows, scratch built frames for both from plastruct shapes, then added clear acetate for the glass. I hope to someday rebuild it from a better material. Cheers, Lance Thanks, Nick! Cheers, Lance
cobraman Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Some nice stuff there. I really like the Cobra but then I would. : )
High octane Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 That '61 Chevy is beautiful, but it needs some "lake plugs" behind the front tires just like "back-in-the-day."
Yenkocamaro Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hey Nick, I remember those! I had a set on my 58 Chevy Delray, with a transplanted 409, back in 1968. I loved that car! Here are a few more pics. The 51 Merc has been modified. Cheers, Lance Edited June 13, 2015 by Yenkocamaro
AzTom Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks Lance, I'm adding two new show cases and want to build a photo taking scene for on top of them.
Yenkocamaro Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 "Very nice collection!!!" Thanks Joe! More pics to come later. Cheers, Lance
AzTom Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Very nice, Lance. I like them all,LOL. I just ordered four additional glass shelves for my cabinets so I'll have sixteen more feet of display
Yenkocamaro Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Cool Tom, I did that with my 1st generation Camaro display cabinet, I added 3 more glass shelves. I'll post pics later of that one. Have you gathered any material yet for your background diorama? Cheers, Lance
High octane Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Very nice collection Lance, and if I'm ever out your way I'd like to check 'em out.
Mike Kucaba Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Very nice collection. Your name looks familiar, did you ever attend the Hillside show Put on by Tom Lima? Who made the the altered WB cars. I'm familiar with a Plymouth but wasn't aware of any others. About your display. I found foam board with a styrene face both sides. Contact Foamboardsource and check it out. It may be sturdier
Yenkocamaro Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Brian Thanks Mike, yes, Tom was a very good friend, and I attended every Hillside show with him. Sorry, your name is not ringing any bells The 65 Dodge Coronet AWB was made by Supercars. www.supercar1.com/ They still have some for sale on the site, last time I checked. Thanks for the info on the foam board, but mine has the coating also. Happy fourth! Cheers, Lance Edited July 5, 2015 by Yenkocamaro
Yenkocamaro Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Hey guys, a few more pics of my 1/18 Drag Camaros. Thanks. Cheers, Lance
