RodneyBad Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 It sure does look Perty in Black. Nice Looking Project.
stewart Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Always liked the color schemes on these drag racers. Great start. STewart
Custom Hearse Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Awesome!!! I love those old drag racers! This should be great...
W117monte Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Caine, looks good! You should build two and leave one all black! Very mean
spkgibson Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Very cool Caine, I have 2 of the original MPC kits, But I'm afraid to build those,As they are so expensive , Thats a Resin kit by our buddy, Correct? Nice casting, And off to a great start, I'll be watching this one for sure. That paint job looks great!
Dragline Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Great start Roger. You are the Pro Stock master. Bob
walt francis Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Can't wait to see this with it's full dressing.... Bad to the Bone !!!!
diymirage Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 man, that looks great (is that the scoop i send you or did i send it to someone else?) i love dusters and this one is on the top of my list
caine440 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. I picked up that scoop at a show in Indianapolis last year. I believe you are thinking of someone else.
Bridgebuster Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. I picked up that scoop at a show in Indianapolis last year. I believe you are thinking of someone else. Really nice work Roger!! I LOVE the stance you've gotten from it. The inner wheels in gold really look sharp.
walt francis Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Are both wheels wrinkled the same direction ?
caine440 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Hi Walt I am not sure about your question. Here are the two side shots. I hope I did not mess them up. First time using the wrinkle wall look. And the real deal. Thanks! Edited March 30, 2011 by caine440
stewart Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Looks really nice. Where did the wrinkle walls come from? STewart
diymirage Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. I picked up that scoop at a show in Indianapolis last year. I believe you are thinking of someone else. my bad i know i sent one out to someone on here i remember telling him when he asked about it that it looked like the unit on the mopar missile and he replied thats what he wanted it for lol iether way, it looks great and those wrinkle walls look great
Reliable Resin Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Looks really nice. Where did the wrinkle walls come from? STewart Reliable Resin > "Med.Meats" Wrinkle Walls ( yes they are "Handed" ) Edited April 6, 2011 by Reliable Resin
caine440 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Yep Good looking tires. I am using them on a Rod Shop Challenger next.
Plasticfanatic Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Beautiful on progress build, is looking great!!!!!
caine440 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 A quick update. I can not decide if I want to keep the decals as is or replace them as I am not totally happy with them. I also can not decide if I should clear over them. Still need to make the glass and finish the bumpers and hood. Then it will be the little details before calling it done. Thanks for looking!
Terry Sumner Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Please forgive me if I offend you as I don't mean any offense...just an opinion.... Unless you are planning to display this well done model in a diorama with a driver in it and launching off the starting line, those wrinkled rear slicks are completely wrong. Now you of course have the right to put anything you want on the model..after all..it is yours. But slicks wrinkled like that are totally unrealistic and it seems to me that you have made some pretty darn good efforts there to create a fairly accurate Mopar Missile...so why would you put such innaccurate rear tires on it? I have been unable to fathom why car modelers use these things on their models. Again, it's your model...do it any way you wish. But I throw this out to you just in case you don'trealize how inaccurate they are. Flame suit on...
caine440 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 No offense taken. I struggled with the idea myself. I really like the idea of adding a driver and am looking for a resin little guy to put in there. I do like the look of the tires and the size of them as compared to other tires I have seen. Thanks for the input.
diymirage Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 i really like the way this is coming out maybe someone should offer a set of non wrinkled wrinkle wall slicks, for the static model? as for getting a driver,check out the monogram "stock car plus" series they contain one stock car of varried breeds (i know i have a ford in my stash and the pontiac in my avatar was found in one of those kits) a race jack, a large toolcart and a smaller toolbox to sit on top of it, a few very nively molded impact guns, a nascar style fuel can (and oil catch can?) a acetelyn (i think) tank and the board the put the info on in pitlane, oh and a driver (theres a buick on ebay for 18.00 dollars shipped)
