doomcrew Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 hello all. having just had surgery on my right arm, my model building activities have been put on hold for a while. to make up the time, i thought i would join this forum and share my builds and do some research for future projects. this is the little red wagon dodge, and the inspiration behind it was the ricky couch dodge from the 90's and an illustration from rod and custom. to be different, i made it right hand drive and added suicide doors. there are lots of scratchbuilt modified kit parts. these are complimented with aftermarket parts from r b motion, s & s specialties, detail master, scale repros plus and micro nitro to name a few. a bonus with this model was that the rear suspension is funtional, with scratchbuilt parts and coil over shocks from r b motion. thanks looking. steve
RJWood Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Outstanding build Steve. Can't wait to see more of your stuff. Hope that arm heals up fast, so you can get back to work on your models. Welcome to MCM forums. Ron
Steven Zimmerman Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Hey,that's SHARP !.....What kit are the headers from?...........Steve Z
nails3825 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 It looks real to me, seems much larger than a scale model of any size Impressive work on those details! Very well done ~ hope your arm heals up soon!
doomcrew Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 thanks guys. photos done in natural light make all the difference. the headers are from the revell 69 dodge charger kit, with scratchbuilt exhaust tips. steve
jedimastergary Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Nice looking great detail and the color is good
envious8420 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/hotnews/0901rc_different_hot_rod_dream_cars/photo_09.html i came across the same idea while searching for inspiration for the build im doing.
dencon Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Man.......that is ..........well just inspiring. That is an amazing model.
gilsdropshop1 Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 this is one clean and nice detail on motor good looking color too!
RodneyBad Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Killer looking Dodge.. Fantastic Paint and detailing.. I Love it!!!
doomcrew Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 thanks guys. i hope that this will be an inspiration for different dodge A100 trucks, and i wonder if anyone has used the jimmy flintstone bodies? steve
Dragline Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I love a detailed TF motor and that A100 has got a great one. Sweet paint and clean execution as well. Welcome to the forums, you'll fit in quite nicely here. Bob
doomcrew Posted April 13, 2010 Author Posted April 13, 2010 thanks guys. i'm getting plastered, but sadly not through alcohol, my arm is being put in a cast tomorrow. the engine was out a top fuel car, a revell one i think, although i did use single ignition valve cover from a revell 69 dodge charger as well as the headers. steve
Raul_Perez Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Very nicely done!! All of the details really add to the realism of the build. Thanks for sharing,
