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

A Mockup of my 1975 Chevelle CBR racer

[Slotto]

Testors AMC S/C Rambler. It came with a hole in the hood. I hate body work!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Working on another 60-70's Rat Trap (MPC) Modified. Older I get the slower I go.

When I was young I never really liked trac noses, or T buckets for that matter. I was in to Chevelles, Camaros and vettes. I guess I just always loved the sporty look. Then I saw an opel GT for sale when I was in high school, and loved sports cars ever since. One day I got a how to draw street rods and found a picture of a 25 T flat as a fritter and just as low, with a track nose and my whole opinion changed. I was thinking to myself, “ you mean you can turn a T bucket, which at the time I just considered a piece of farm equipment, into a sports car?” My world changed!

so here it is in the works. “ when I have time of course.”

I’ve been in a building slump lately. Here’s a project that’s been mocked for a while now.Gonna be a 71 Rally Nova resto mod using the Revell 69 COPO Nova kit. The wheels/tires from Steve Zimmerman. The LS engine/trans is from TX3d customs.

Another mock up I’ve had for a while.MPC Firefighter Mustang II. Competition Resins Hood and Motorfly Wheels. Going to build one of my favorite pro stockers of all time. I’ve had these decals for years.

My mockup of the Atlantis 57 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. As you know, it must have taken a lot of work to get to this point lol.

Hello Everybody!

Here's a mockup of the 1970 Revell Superbird that I'm currently working on.

 

I'm still working on getting the hood straightened out.

I had a similar "AHA!!" moment somewhere around '95, after being a Euro sports-car snob since I drove my first Porsche around 1970. Combining the virtues of sports cars and hot rods has been one of my main interests ever since.

Really like the look you have going here. It'll be worth the wait to see where it goes.

I know. I'd love to have the skill to build it, even in 1/25 scale!

Thanks Bill, and Charles. I’m working second shift at the lazy B, but I will get going on this after I get bad weather and some time off?

Station wagon’s are so cool. Never thought I’d think that, yet I do.

My cousin had a '64 with 2 doors and a small block years ago. Thing would be worth a small fortune today.

1/8 Agoura Shelby Cobra . I just had to toss the body on to take a look .

HMCN was a great show this year, fantastic builds! Right before the awards were announced, the President of KC Slammers pulled a few contestants aside and handed out little bag to each of them. Resign LSX with a note. 

To follow next year's theme, "What the Heck?". We have to put this LSX in a vehicle that this motor would never be installed in and make it like the manufacturer designed it to fit (look like stock). 

Someone said, "A beetle?" Yes, something that wouldn't have a V8.

So... after searching for something, I ran across this! Tamyia 1/24 1969 Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Mk1. The LSX might be a tight squeeze! 

Lol... wish me luck!

For a Youtube Group Build (hosted by SoDak Model Cars channel), "Cars of Our Past", replica of a 1987 Chevy Camaro Z28 we owned in 1995. Looks amazingly like the 1:1 so far

Here is my 67 GTO. Still haven't figured out interior colors yet.

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

Something I don't normally build. 

That's a great opening line!

I love changing things up from time to time, trying something different, it keeps the modeling bug happy!

Building the same type of models over and over causes builder burnout and lack of interest.

Try a Tamiya kit, of build a 4X4 or an exotic, '32 old school, factory correct muscle car, SEMA build, or................

Everyone should try "Something you don't normally build"

Cheers!
