Rommel's Rod

[The Creative Explorer]

I've finished this a while back, but never got to the point of making good photo's. It is something I never have build before and enjoyed a lot. A fantasy build, far away from perfect polished paint and nice wired engines. None of that! I had to learn a lot of new techniques, but for a first run I don't think I did a bad job.

I love how the little details came out and I like how my cobwebs turned out.

rommels rat rod...u gotta luv it...grt8 build...luv all the bullet holes and the detail is awesome...

[crazyjim]

Sure is rusty and bullet ridden. I keep thinking about this kit with dual 23" Pegasus wheels in back. I just don't know how bad I'd have to cut the body.

[Dyno Davo]

Really well done, you have lifted this kit to a whole new level, detailing ++++++++

[RAMBENNA]

[W-Machine]

Love the rust, cobwebs and bullet holes.

[GerN]

It feels so right.

[sjordan2]

Great detail, especially on the electrical parts and the convertible boot.

Is the maroon car the Testors-Italeri 540K like the one you posted recently?

[Steven2]

That's some great weathering. I love it.

i would like to see a rommels rod with chrome wheels too (and gloss black paintjob). i'd call it "Fast and the Führer"

thanks everybody for the kind words. it was a fun project and i think it shows in it. definately not a project when one wants to count rivets haha. I didnt go for realism, but just fun.

@Skip: the 540k is the car that I posted recently. I finished this car somewhere in march, but never got to make good photos.

I have another Rommels rod, of which i have some ideas as posted herer, so with bling wheels and colourful paintjob. I do like what it is mentioned here
