Jurm Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've been parusing the boards, and have to say...Yall have some excellent builds here. I guess I'll show a few of my builds, to better acquaint you with my build style and my skills. Feedback is welcomed/encouraged. Thanks for lookin, and feel free to browse the albums and check out my other builds I have there. First is my General Lee V2.0 I used a Leftover Revell Charger chassis along with the AMT Charger 500 body. Paint is Sherwin Williams auto urethane mixed with a calibrated eyeball. Linn to the rest of the pics below. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/Dro...ral%20lee%20v2/ Up next is one of my all time favorite builds, a Revell 67 Chevelle G Machine. I used the 66 Velle wagon chassis/wheels, along with the kit engine, but with a twist...I robbed an AMT 67 Impala street machine kit of its intake setup, and scratchbuilt my first twin turbo setup, with a Porschee racecar (history channel kit) supplying the spools. This was the first car I'd ever hinged doors on, so the work there isn't that great. It looks good on the shelf though. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/Dro...7/g%20machines/ For the last build, I'll show my tube chassis USA-1 monster that I built using a USA-1 body with a Bigfoot #10 chassis. I converted the engine over to a Chevy, and added misc. detailing items...linkages, lines, etc...all of which are made from various household items. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/DroZ_187/USA-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Kern Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Wow, now that's some different subject matter there. Very nice builds, all. The '65-'67 Chevelles are some of my favorites, too. I think the Duke boys would approve, also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Nice builds all!! Those opening doors look pretty good to me on that Chevelle...........that's just how they should open for a '66! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 'Calibrated eyeball' - LOL Nice work, Jurm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Nice work, I noticed on my general lee build the hood did not line up right and it looks like yuors is kinda the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob paeth Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 What I see is the result of a well diversfied modeler. Three builds and three different models. In a contest you would be competing in three classes instead of three models competing with each other. Any other "different" models lurking on the shelf ? bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurm Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks again guys! I really appreciate it. You're right Glen.....these AMT Chargers are junk. Something as simple as gettin the hood to line up requires some surgery. I guess I overlooked it on this one. Good call. Thanks Bob. Coming from you, the complimens mean a lot. It's nice to see you "out n about" again. How's life been treatin ya, sir? In regards to what else is on my shelves, there are SEVERAL pro street/touring builds, a few "ricers", a custom truck or 2, a 1:8 chopper I'm working on, 3 1:12 choppers to be built, and 2 Tamiya race bikes that need resurrected (had an encounter with the wife's cat....grrr...). Somewhere in a box, theres a black/white duece coupe that once made the journey all the way to Portland....LoL...remember that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragking Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Love your models Jurm always did.How did you scratchbuild the turbo`s? I have a little Chevette that is screaming to have that type of setup onit. Hope you can explain well so I can scratchbuild them.

Jurm Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks again guys. Hey John....good to see you here. That turbo setup is pretty simple, really. I used the History Channel Porsche spools, and scratched everything else from solder. Headers, intake tubing, and exhaust. If you'd like some detail pics of it all, shoot me a PM and I'll get some for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
