TheCat Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Here's my first attempt on building a Rat Rod. I think it came out ok. It's one of the AMT's 1925 Ford Model T 2 kits in one box. I built this for my local Car Model club Contest. Edited March 28, 2011 by TheCat
sjordan2 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Just wonderful. Outstanding work. Let's see more detail. Edited October 12, 2010 by sjordan2
Gregg Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Great work Felix, and welcome to the forum. Very subtle and well-done with the rust and such.
charlie8575 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Not really my taste in subject matter, but beautifully executed. I'm with Skip- more pictures would be very appreciated. Charlie Larkin
Jantrix Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Yep, it's official. I like it! Great job, and welcome to the forum.
Chuck Most Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 CAUTION!!!! If you built one rat rod, you WILL build more... Very nice build of one of the greatest model kits EVER, too, by the way!
george 53 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Felix, it looks REAL nice, in fact, kinda too nice ta be a ratrod! It looks like a ol hot rod that was found inna barn. It just ain't QUITE ratty enough. Personally I like it!.
TheCat Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Per popular demand... Here's some more pics of the Rat Rod. Normally I'm more into Muscle Cars, Imports, Sports Car and Classics. But I wanted to do something a little different and did this first attempt on a Rat Rod.
randx0 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The rod looks great ,I like what you have done with the roof. photography is nice also.
george 53 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 These pics show it to a much better advantage. I still looks too clean to me. i LOVE the rust detailing an fadeing, but it doesn't LOOK all sloppily welded, with micselanious junk just welded all over it. I think it's a REAL hot rod, and not a cartoon car. I like it. Rat rod or not.
David G. Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Very cool! Nice weathering- I love the screamin' skull.
Sixties Sam Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Love it! I agree with George - it's nicely done, not overdone with junk. Great job! Sam
Len Geisler Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 CAUTION!!!! If you built one rat rod, you WILL build more... Very nice build of one of the greatest model kits EVER, too, by the way! I am with Chuck, they are like drugs....
TheCat Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 My little Rat Rod won first place in my Local Car Model Club this past week. I was very surprised and honored. The members in my club are very talented and do awesome builds so winning first places lets me know that I'm getting better on my builds. Here's the trophy.
Nick Notarangelo Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Nice sharp clean work,I got the same kit and I love to how other do this kit. congrats on the award also.
randx0 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Congratulations ,it is always nice when hard work is rewarded! Keep it up.
shatteredsoul76 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Im digging this one, also congrats on the trophy. The only way it could have been better was if the chrome was dulled out a bit to make it look older, but thats only my opinion and she looks great none the less!
