Thor Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi I just finished this one last night. I started with the 1932 Ford (revell) and added engine and axles from a A Ford (early revell) parts box wheels and tires, different pieces of etch for linkage. scratch built aircleaners and tail lamps Tried to make it look like an early hot rod with the looks of an old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Don't like rusty/crusty, but your build looks really good, Thor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The weathering is PERFECT. Nice details throughout. There's something subtle and beautiful about this build. The paint makes it look super realistic. Great job. Don't be shiny about posting a few more pictures from different angles. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hey, that thing is a mess! Oh, sorry, that was the intention...I see, very well done, I don't build in this style, but I can appreciate it when you guys execute a "run down" hot rod like this. Nicely done.
