hpiguy Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Full build review of the perennial favorite Tom Daniel Beer Wagon. Built just like the box art. Still an awesome kit time after time.Eventually I want to do a beat up weathered one to sit beside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yep, always a favorite. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Looks fun. I have not built one since the 70s, but have one in my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Great job on an old classic. I love just about anything that Tom Daniel designed. I own and have built several of his kits over the years. My last TD Beer Wagon, I got specific Mountain Dew decals designed for the kit. Painted it a very nice metallic green. And wa-lah, I have a very nice Mack for hauling my favorite beverage around (at least in my imagination). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike morelli Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I have a cherry built-up kit in my collection, I enjoy a fair amount of the Tom Daniels designed kits. Even though you can't see much of the engine, I decided the valve covers needed to be replaced with some more realistic pieces, and added a bit more of detailing/ wiring, to the engine ( I had to enlarge the side openings in the hood just a bit for the new valve covers ) , and used thin strips of chrome tape to detail the beer barrel straps. This is one of those cars that, even amongst a handful of other cars in a display, people always stop to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've wondered for years why, except for the Red Baron, why no one has done TD stuff in 1:1. Loved these when they were new, love them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I don't want to step on anybody's toes here. But, since I can again share photos here, I had to reshare the Beer Wagon I built a couple of years ago. I'm afraid I don't drink beer (not anymore, at least). But, I do love my Dew. And my Tom Daniel kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Nice Scott. Plus Dew. Basic food group. I've got one in progress that I closed up hood and sides, pipes up behind cab. Also have a semi Mack flatbed in progress with huge Maisto wheels. Big Beer. Long road ahead, but fun. May drop regular BW onto flatbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Dang, but that is nice, Scott! Perfect Colour and great build. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Nice build Scott! But you are aware that Mountain Dew is really antifreeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 When I was doing my post doc, I'd carry a giant 1liter trigonal sterile fluid measuring beaker filled with ice and diet Dew on rounds and on call. Looked like several bodily fluids depending on ice/drink mix. More thought it funny and gross than just gross. I just used it as it was biggest cup in hospital, and had a nice lid for suction that doubled as a straw holder. I've used bits of those things on builds over the years. Someone used to have nice Xmas Budweiser decals for the BW, real 50's looking stuff, and one cute santa's helper. ePay. ANyone else seen those??
