MrObsessive Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Dan, your weathering is OUTSTANDING! I also like what you did with the doors, making them operate and out of brass yet! 8) Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipMahoney Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Nice work on Nellybelle, Dan. I used to watch the Roy Rogers show all the time when I was a kid. Pat Brady ran that tempermental jeep all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59 Impala Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks guys. This is the first time that I've tried scratch building and I like it. I'm having fun puttin her together. I used doll house hinges for the doors, and my fingers always got in the way, and for the hood I used the miniature piano hinge instead of the stupid plastic one. There is a lot of eyeball engineering here. I never did find any real good pictures of what I needed the most, so, if it looked right it was right.
