Dominik Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 All is spoken. I also like the pictures - they make the "car" more realistic. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybill1960 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) "Nailed it!?!?!" "DUDE YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK MAN!!!!" That is one awesome build!!! If there "is a way to build a rod," "THIS" is "THEE" way to build "IT"!! You certainly fit the "bill" as a plastic craftsman!! Your paint work is "knock my eyes out gorgeous" Man! The detailing You put into this build is "out-standing" to say the least!!! Thank You for sharing with Us here!

modelmike Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Dude after looking at your stuff i think i am going to try to build a ratrod myself great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Zombie Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Please do that! The only downdraft to this kind of buildin is that you'll end up with tons of useless stuff. Currently I have a Hudson here, that I got just for the tires and the engine. Will make a really awkward rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedge Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Excellent build, very realistic. Like the way you did the patchwork on the body and the number plate on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Awesome build! Love the Pontiac motor too...I'm a Pontiac guy myself. Could you post a pic or two of the interior? Mostly want to see the skull shifter better. Looks pretty cool from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 While I'm NOT a fan of rust, you did a really great job on that rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Love the build ,it is cool as all get out.The tilted carb stack bugs me or is that the angle of the pic?very cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Very nice, but that is NOT a cheap kit. Anyone cast those that you know of? OR, a spare that anyone would be willnig to let me cast? Rear Tires are Tamiya FAMO Halftrack... Fit the scale. Nice detail. Unusual tread.

Mr.Zombie Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 As I finish about one model a year (if even), I have around, well... Five or so. And three or four in "progress". I built that one, and 2 '29 Ford Pickups, and modified a 1950 Merc Die Cast, Have the Ghostbusters Cadillac but that's very old, and a Chevy Stepside that was my first model car ever, and Mad Max Interceptor is still around. Then I built a Mercedes 200 Diesel but gave that away. In making are a Mack DM600 for five years now, 49 Mercury (3 years), 1959 Miller Meteor (7 years), and the T/A Gow Job that is in currently in the workshop.

geetee66 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Outstanding skills. Lovely details, too. Excellent choice of tyres. For me, they really make this build seem more realistic. The patched chop, the chipped paint on the suspension...So much to like about this model. Even my wife commented on how good it looks, which is praise indeed!

jerseyjunker1 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 man alive this is one great build everything looks real to life. from the headlights to the tailights it is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Zombie Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks folks. Happy that you enjoy it. Excellent choice of tyres. Choice of the rubber is one thing, what is more important, I always sand the lips on the rim paperthin from the inside in the same angle the tyre has. All that so I can stuff the wheel into the rubber as much as it is possible, real tyres are inflated, and there is no real "step" between them and the rim. The Kit rims are always out of two pieces, if you sand 'em, you have to grind down a bit of the inner ring, actually as much as your new rim flushes more in that before sanding. Many people tend to forget that, and kind of destroy their stuff by just putting the wheel together straigt oob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
