Tyler62990 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 In my true fashion of being a day late and a dollar short, I figured I might as well post up what I got done for 2015. I'll post in chronological order for the hell of it. First up is my '65 Chevy / '37 Ford combo. The '65 was my first paint and glue model since an ill-fated attempt when I was about 9 or 10. I found a trailer on eBay and the '37 at Ollie's dirt cheap, so this combo was born. Next up is the AMT 41 Willys. I tried using Krylon Glitter Blast paint to get a crazy metal flake paint job and this was the result. Not very proud of this one haha Next, the Revell 49 Merc. My first attempt at wiring that ended up looking like a purple spider holding the engine. Can't complain about the paint, though. Here's my '32 Revell 5 Window. I took a shot at making decals and doing brake and fuel lines. Another one that looked better in my head. And here we have the AMT 53 Ford. I got this as a parts kit off ebay specifically for the welder. To my surprise, there was enough left in the box to build this truck.
Tyler62990 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Then came this Stacy David Rat Roaster. I thought it would look cool as a Bonneville car Next is an AMT 40 Ford delivery, built for my place of work Moving along, here's a Revell 55 Jukebox Ford. I liked the style of the car, but I think the decals are hideous, so I went with a more plain pro-mod. I found out about seed beads for AN fittings, floral wire for lines and a few other things on this build. I still think those beads look huge though... I built this 32 for a Facebook build-off. I'm not a HUGE rat rod guy, but I loved building this one. Especially when that flathead went in there
buildnething Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Yea I would have stripped that willys body in a heartbeat, that sucks what happened to it. Its not too late to remove the body is it? Get out the purple pond! Other than that, nice lookin builds! Thanks for sharing!
Tyler62990 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Wanting to do something different, I picked up this Revell Crusader. After getting rid of the gaudy Iron Cross / skull stuff, dechroming almost everything, painting it a nice root beer brown, and wrapping the exhaust, I finally ended up with something I'd ride myself. This was a fun build. I say that in the most sarcastic way possible. However, sfter one hell of a struggle, I am satisfied with the finished product. This was another tedious build. The rust hides the hiccups well haha I through this dio together quick, really as a test for things to come... Then I started working on the REAL dio. I got burnt out on that after a while and built this to blow off steam
cobraman Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I like them all except for one. : ) I bet you know which one. Still it was worth a try.
Tyler62990 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 I made this one just for the dio... And decided to experiment with the Testors transparent paints, which would've been great if not for the terrible nozzle And here's my big one. Five months and A LOT of work later got me this. This was supposed to be a simple photo background and I guess I got carried away After doing the dio, I was excited to build this 55 Chevy. I felt the blown 350 was lacking, so a Pontiac 421 found a home under the non-existent hood And for my last build of 2015, a Revell 50 Olds that my friend glue bombed together. After tearing it apart and trying my hardest to salvage it, this is the result Well, that was 2015 for me. It was a very, very busy year and I learned A LOT, thanks to the guys on Facebook, these forums and this great magazine. Thanks for looking! Hopefully I'm on time next year
V8 Trucker Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 This was a very successful year for you, great models !!!!!
vintagercr Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Nice looking collection.. I agree that I would have stripped the Willys, but still looks good....

CometMan Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 All very well done Tyler! As far as the paint on the Willys, it was worth a shot, now we know what to expect. Thanks for taking one for the team!!
spencer1984 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Some really nice work here, I especially like that purple Merc. Too bad the '32 fought you, that's a great classic look!
rmvw guy Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Some great lookin builds, looks like you had a busy year. Thanks for sharing I needed a fix.
Art Laski Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 You've been a busy boy! Great stuff. A real nice comeback.
Tyler62990 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks for the compliments guys, always appreciated. As for the Willys, I think I'll keep it around as a reminder to NEVER use that paint again haha
