Hot Rod Hints #4 is Live Now....

[tim boyd]

The last of my four "Hot Rod Hints" Chapters is now open for viewing and (hopefully) model building inspiration.

One of the things I like best about building hot rod themed model cars is the variety and creativity they offer to the builder. Often just the smallest touches can give your model an extra degree of personalization when placed next to a box stock build of the same kit at your next Club meet, NNL, or contest.

Here are a few finishing touches that add character to your hot rod models and are also easy to accomplish.

I've also added a couple of images with aftermarket parts that are now available for the Revell Model A kits, such as these new tops from Altered States....and some new products from Replicas & Miniatures....

The 16 images and captions are intended as just thought starters, but if you want further ideas, you can check out my on-line photo albums of 1/1 scale and scale traditional hot rods at the links in the accompanying source box of the last picture in Chapter Four.  . 

Here's the link to

      Hot Rod Hints Chapter Four....

While we're at it, are links to the previous chapters for those of you that missed those.... 

     Hot Rod Hints Chapter Three

     Hot Rod Hints Chapter Two

     Hot Rod Hints Chapter One

This brings to a close our original set of Hot Rod Hints. If there are other topics for modifying and personalizing your hot rod model builds you’d like us to cover, just post your thoughts at the end of this on-line album.

And please make sure to let your hot rod model building friends know about this series of "Hot Rod Hints" articles. Whether I do this again in the future will depend to some degree on the number of people who look at this series of articles.

Thanks for your interest....here's hoping they inspire some really cool modeling projects on your hobby desks....TIM
