Modelcarjedi Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 It's a beast!!! and i had a blast building it!! keith ross
geetee66 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 [Hey Keith, I like what you've done to it. Very realistic, especially the dirty glass. The rust looks good, too. Those rear tyres (sorry, TIRES) are enormous! Where are they from? Parts box or aftermarket? Good work, fella!

Those rear tyres (sorry, TIRES) are enormous! Where are they from? Parts box or aftermarket? Good work, fella! thanks!! the tires,wheels and motor came from AMT's shaker trike kit. They are huge because they are 1/12 scale and the nomad is 1/16 hehehehe keith ross
RatRod Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Great job Kieth!!! Been watching this one all the way, and it works!!! I've seen a few bi-scale builds lately that have pretty kool too, they bring out the FUN side of modeling. Besides, what were you going to do with that old AMT Nomad anyway.....lol.
Raul_Perez Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Very nice weathering job!! Not overstated...just right to go with the "X-Gasser - For Sale" sign in the window. Nice touch!! This is the kind of car that would make me cringe when I was a bodyman. The only thing I hated fixing more than fiberglass was RUST!!
old-hermit Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 That is the ugliest, most horrible looking, rolling piece of junk I think I have ever seen. Excellent work Keith, you've gone above and beyond on this one. I love it !!!!!!!!!!

FordRodnKustom Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Got Tea ? Outstanding, er...job! I think you started a new genre, I'll call it "Junker Rod". looking forward to seeing what you do with that bird. Can we expect to see daylight through the body panels?!?!

Can we expect to see daylight through the body panels?!?! thanks!! the bird is going to be a twin to the nomad. I'm going to rust it the same way but with more rubber cement to make the paint like like it's peeling keith
ramonesblues Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 great job on the weathering. As an ex bodyman and painter, it makes me want to jump on it and paint it!
