bobthehobbyguy Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Any updates? Maybe your shrink ray is broken.
crazyrichard Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 well for the first time since i started it i kind of was like ..... not in the mood and all , so i left it alone .. been tinkering on a old chop i did on a revell 5-window coupe ....... this was one of my earlyer , just got into plastic modelkits creations .. now i redid some stuff just for fun , still thinking if i will use it to make a rod in the future or make like a rolling table with the body on and put it in the garage .. would be cool but also take up a lot of space first time i build it , chopped the roof and added like a worked into the roof kind of sunvisor thing ..back then i loved it , now i'm like what was i thinking looks awfull (shapewise) that in the end got covered with aluminium spray and polished to look like bare metal , now its a pain to get it off lol .. one thing i wanted to try was change the firewall , not like revell intended but more in terms of the real deal .. cut it out and sanded and sanded to make the styrene much thinner when seen from the front then to get the very narrow edge you often see .. i used thin copper plate and removed the sunvisor / roof extension then made a visor with speedholes out of real aluminum , got it bend and shaped so it perfectly fitted the body's and roof lines < its one piece , sides are folded put a basecoat on it ... and made a firewall insert and polished that so it reflects , kept it roughly polished and not too perfect , firewall will get more detail and i need to make a windowframe and mold that against the pillars basicly just doing this for fun , not real serious project wise .. and actually the paint is quite thick now due to the metal coat .. but fun to work on this
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Is the 32 ford going to be part of the shop?
crazyrichard Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 hmm they def. have more work i think the primer and paint reacted and it all suddenly rusted this was the first round , needs more nuance and tones
72 Charger Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Looks great Richard . I like the visor. Will this be a project car in the garage?
crazyrichard Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 thnx and i am still in doubt if i will use this body to make a ratrod or put it in the garage .. what i could do is builda chassis and some parts and make it look like they are building it added some runners and tones with chalks ... the louvres still need work
crazyrichard Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 i will make a topic on the ford in the on the bench section , went on with it
crazyrichard Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 thnx ken .. still having a break from the dio ..just needed to stop for a short while ... when i feel like it again i will finish the last details and start on the outside of the garage .. that will also get a nice finish
crazyrichard Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 after a long break .. started again ... covered the top edges of the wall with hardwood as a nice finish and its in the theme of the inside of the garage then decides the outside needed a nice finish as well , made window frames the walls are painted white as a base coat , not sure what to cover them with , brick or wood or painted ...back wall window is not finished and the rolling door will get some framing as well some atmosphere shots
Petetrucker07 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Good to see you back on this Rich. Nice touches on the tops and window frame. I think an aged brick look would fit this perfect, but that's my opinion.
crazyrichard Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 since all of the facebook pics wont show on forums , here are some fresh ones .. i added a lot of smalls , some toolboxes , welder , weathered the walls a bit with black powder .. needs more details
Ramfins59 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Richard, the amount of detail that you've put into this diorama is amazing. To my eye, the only things missing are some people...... and cars of course.
crazyrichard Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 thnx guys ! and rich .. cars are no problem .. just take some and put them in .. i have mechanics .. so maybe a few pics with cars and mechanics soon ?!! my idea is to put in a chassis on jack stands .. maybe with some suspension and brake dics .. like its been build up
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Love it. Love all the little details.
