Mr. Metallic Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Man that is sweet. One of the finest examples of a finished Monogram A coupe I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Thanks everyone, great to see the love for these old Monogram classics, On 9/7/2022 at 7:06 AM, tim boyd said: Tasty....very tasty!

Cheers Mate...TB Thanks Tim, yes, there is nothing like the satisfaction of getting a fresh build on the shelf. I retired in January and have managed to get 26 models on the shelf since then, doing about five hours every night. Of course, some of those are ten day builds, some are ten week builds and some are ten year builds!!! Doesn't matter, but they only get counted when the tyres hit the glass!

goon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Now, THAT is a Hot Rod! Love the way those pie-crust slicks peek out of the rear fenders. Thanks for sharing this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 G'day Alan, cool build. To transform stock to hotrod is always fun. I'm currently building the 37 ford panel delivery by revell as a street rod. It's posting on WIP Commercial vehicles. I'm in Albury, NSW. Have you heard of a model parts supplier called 'The Parts Box '. They have some good stuff including a nine inch. Again, cool hotrod. Cheers, David.

the goon Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Very cool. Early 60's are my favorite period. Hoping to have a full size version some day. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hay Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Really sharp. I know a guy who has a real 30 coupe that looks very similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Very nice. I have an Early Iron release of the Monogram 1930 Ford tourer, that I'm planning to do something similar with. Terrific work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullybeef Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That’s a tasty looking rod, I’ve never been good at getting red to look good on any kit, your paint is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Real pretty little A-bone. I've got a couple of these in various states from new to gloobombery, now I have inspiration of what to do with one of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, I have been using Tamiya Pink primer under my red paintjobs of late and it seems to really make the red pop! 22 hours ago, thatz4u said: looks good in red, well done....I noticed you spell your first name the correct way....😁 Ha ha - that is a standard joke of mine - when someone spells my name A-L-L-A-N, I say, "No, the proper way!" It's my Dad's name as well and it has worked for him for 92 years so far! Thanks, Dan, for putting this model back on the front page. Everyone seems to like the simplicity and that is exactly what I was going for. Not trying to re-invent the wheel this time - instead, went with a proven formula that looks great on my shelf. Monogram rods rock, irrespective of the larger scale! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
