Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!

[David G.]

Hello Everybody!

I just started AMT's 1929 Ford Woody/Pickup kit. The first thing I wanted to do was get the right stance and profile. So I assembled the axles and did a mockup with a number of different wheel sets. I did find a good set of wheels and tires in the parts box. They have kind of a Western Smoothie look which is much better than the Keystone Cliche' Classics or stock wood-spokes in the kit. I will of course dress them up a little.

Nice Mockups!!

The stance is pretty close to final set up.  Will know better once I get the engine built and placed.  Cuz there will be some ...tweaking.

I got those from https://wesmodelcarcorner.myshopify.com/?fbclid=IwAR20j9ysuHGsOsrIRzFUHLgx76_sH4r2BbJZifo7akxzi5ig9fAoS1NGuz4

Not sure if he still has some. I need to pick up a couple more sets. I will check my LHS tomorrow when I go for the meeting. 

 

These are the exact wheels I am using:

I have seen those before and almost ordered them because I really like their American SS wheels/tires, but never noticed the 4 lugs. Pretty cool!

This one wont get a build thread as there's not much to it...but the GSX kit being built as a GS Stage 1 with a special color. Got rid of the hood tach and chin spoiler, otherwise being built out of the box. G60-15 Goodyear Polyglas tires from Mean Machine Models.

[SpeedAndViolence]

Revell 1/24 Pro Touring 69 Dodge Coronet Super Bee.

Pegasus wheels with modified parts box tires to accommodate 19in and 23in wheels. 

Lots of mods in progress to replicate current pro-touring trends:

Forced air induction is the prerequisite. 440 or Modern crate? 

Mini-tubbed

IFS with coilovers, with 4-link rear w/ (possibly) cantilever coilovers.  

Replicate aftermarket 'Chassis stiffening kit' with plastic strip/rod 

Adding vinyl top 

Carbon Fiber accents in the interior w/ scratchbuilt center console.

Scratchbuilt rollcage

Custom mixed Electric 'Lemon Twist' Pearl lacquer, with black Bumble Bee stripe, Black Vinyl top, and Black/Pewter Carbon Fiber hood. 

Additional items likely....

Amt 40 willys pickup. Front axle modified to be poseable and the bed was shortened 1/4 of an inch. I always thought the bed looked a little log for a gasser, it turned out exactly how I envision it to.

[meechum68]

Love the mockups!!   

[catpack68]

I mocked up the Monogram 59 Cadillac Eldorado I’ve working on this morning.Trying to get it ready for a show coming up on Saturday.
