The liberal use of diamond-plate in the shoebox Ford is well in tune with the era. And "Baron Von Lobo" made me smile! CT
Claude Thibodeau Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 HI! Here are a few models built over the years. Bet you can tell I'm a child of the 50's... CT 1
espo Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 I like drag cars, I just don't seem to build them often. 2
Chevy II Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Just spent the last half hour reading this thread................there are some really talented builders.... 1
NYLIBUD Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 A bunch of some of my older builds.A few diecast Pro Stocks. 1

Thanks! I was blown away after seeing the real car (Thunderbelle) and just had to create my version. This is one of my favorites too!!!!

On 10/24/2022 at 2:37 PM, NYLIBUD said: Yea this thing is wild.How did u apply the paint job,or are they decals on that car? Hi...thanks for the compliments! This was a fun one. I shot the body with three coats of Tamiya Bare Metal (TS-12), made most of the decals with my fuzzy inkjet printer, then used a small hand punch to simulate over 1,000 rivets, wiped Tamiya Black Panel Line over everything and gave it three coats of Tamiya Clear (TS-13). I am really happy how it turned out. One of my favorites too!!!
NYLIBUD Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Found a few more older pics of some drag racing projects that I had been working on awhile ago,including the Diorama of a race shop.I don’t recall if i ever finished the Pacer wagon.
NYLIBUD Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) So the other day I was going through my phone and found even some more of my drag racing builds over the past couple of years,along with some real cars that influenced the builds.However, I must admit that the orange and tan Mustang,were not built by me,but rather they were seen and admired at a local model contest a few years ago.IMO,the orange Mustang might be one of the best drag racing models I’ve ever seen.?Hope you like the pics. Thanks. Edited November 17, 2022 by NYLIBUD
Frankieboy Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Wow!!!! Totally insane builds. I wish I could paint like that!!! How the hell do you guys do the white letter tires so good too? This is an Awsome thread. hats off to all of you.

How the hell do you guys do the white letter tires so good too? This is an Awsome thread. hats off to all of you. I've been using decals, almost exclusively for tire lettering, the last few years. AMT did some tire sets that were beautiful, but, they're pretty much gone, now, and are often quite expensive. Fireball Modelworks has some fantastic lettering decals. I would highly recommend them! Here's my latest drag racer. I just finished it within the past week.
Frankieboy Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Man. That’s insane!!!!!!! Great build. Wow!!! I love funny cars and dragsters. 1
Chevy II Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Awesome Super Gas Vega. where did you get the class designation letters and member number for the windows?
