A Place For Build Ideas

[oldcarfan]

I often do screen shots of things that might make a good build. They go into my phone or computer for possible later use. I was wondering if there is a a place for ideas we might want to share with others looking for a new or different project.

This is one that caught my eye while looking up something the other day. With the release of the Mobius ramp truck and AMT's always available ramp truck kit, I'm thinking Vasek Polak's old hauler might make a cool build with a tasty vintage racer on the back.

Please.

Good idea. So many potential builds ideas out there, not enough time to get to them all. Gleaned this image from a Youtube link in another MCM thread, a neat potential build. A Ford Model T truck hauling a Fordson tractor:

I also latch onto build ideas while roaming the web and collect the images into their own album to keep them in mind for the future. Here are the top samples from it…

A fairly straight forward conversion with the possibility of a detailed interior. 
 

A couple of Bugs that couldn’t be much more different. 
 

Certainly a much more involved scratch build for which I’ve found more detailed photos in a magazine. 
 

An interesting build while still retaining a hot rod presence underneath. 
 

A couple of worthwhile replica builds, the MG-TC that was Shelby’s first competition drive and Petty’s 43JR during the NASCAR boycott when he went straight line racing. 
 

Interested in other ideas that modelling can present…

Cheers Misha

This whole forum is a place for build ideas.🙂 I started a thread for inspirational photos (real or fake) of trucks.

I always thought this truck and camper top would be cool to build.

I saw a car back in August that might make a good project for someone looking to do some fun imagineering or a slump buster. I couldn't get a good shot but today I came across the car on Reddit. The first two pictures are from me and the other two are from the Reddit link. 

 

 

If you haven't seen the Tornados movie, there's some really cool tornado chasing trucks. I'm thinking the Revell Raptor might look pretty nice done up like this.

Here's one for an adventurous scratch builder, the AMX3. 

There's a treasure-trove of info on line, look it up.
