Modelbuilder Mark Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I started this one a little over a month ago as part of a group project. The goal was to create a project using only spares from the parts box from no less than 3 kits, the "Junkyard Dog" build. This is what I came up with. Sam & Ella's organic produce. The plates are the only thing not yet on, and they will read "eatdirt". Body from a 29 Ford, frame I think was an old Monogram 32 Ford molded in yellow, the grill was made from pickup fenders that a friend sent me as an urging to create a tractor grill. The windshield and frame I think came from an AlaKart kit, no idea where the gas can came from. Everything else is either stray parts box bits, or scratched from styrene etc like the coke can. Of course you have to have a car magazine, right!? The steering linkage moves when you turn the wheel, but it does not tturn the steering wheel. Edited February 17, 2014 by Modelbuilder Mark
Shardik Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 That is just too cool! I love all the subtle details, like the aforementioned Coke can over flow tank. Nice plumbing and wiring, also.

Modelbuilder Mark Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks everyone! I like most on here can see my own errors, I just hope that I kind of hide them fairly well. LOL I did manage to get the plates done this morning, I used Acme plate maker.
