Model T on the road

[rmvw guy]

I built this on the road between Indiana and Florida in the back seat of our van while the girls drove last week. Easy kit, I know although a little challenging on a bumpy road, it was fun. The paint started out shinny but as soon as it got near the salt water guess what happened. Edited July 3, 2012 by rmvw guy

Wow! That looks great! Could almost pass for real.

But how in the world do you build a model in a moving car? And even better... why???

It's the STYRENE ADDICTION, Harry. LOL!

Ron, not only do I think the model is wonderful, but the pictures are really fabulous.

Thanks guys, my plan was to build it while on vaction but, it got the best of me on the way there. You're right Doc, it's styrene addiction. LOL

neat model and setting

[W-Machine]

Nice weathering.

[Austin T]

So how do you airbrush in the back seat? Curiosity's killing me.

[Aaronw]

Nice T.

It is a fun kit, and I'm finding kind of addictive, so many things you can do with a Model T.

[Brizio]

The model came out great!!! Love those pics.

.....Actually, I painted it with a rattle can the night before we left and it dried in the box. The weathering was done on the road. I'm now working on the chopped T and it is working out a lot better on solid ground here at home. LOL

That could pass as real. Old Henry would be proud.

[bbowser]

You must be a masochist! I'm jealous, couldn't do that well on a solid bench. Great model and pictures.

[TooOld]

Really nice looking T . I love the look you achieved under the circumstances ! Your photos are really cool too !

[Ace-Garageguy]

Really great photos. Hard to beat reality for realism. Good looking T too.

Ron, I've said it to you before.... You, Sir, are NUTS!!! Very nice Model T! I finished this same kit as a pickup, it's in the case at the hobby shop. You need to display this one beside it for comparison...
