crazyrichard Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 went right at it and polished the wash of the white walls .. way way better now .. also gave the grille a bit of silver again and rescribbed the lines a bit
DrKerry Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Great scratchbuilding there Richard!!!! Love it!!!
10thumbs Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I hope you don't finish the car. I like too much the pics of your garage. The car is nice too.
crazyrichard Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 thnx !! but i will also continue the garage so ... you can follow that later
crazyrichard Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) thnx stephen ! today i added a distributer and wires and headers .. just dumped down > loud as ....... and blowing the streets clean Edited March 15, 2015 by crazyrichard
TFchronos Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Incredible work, I never thought rust could look so good on a car.
crazyrichard Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) thnx guys !! and yes i'd love it in 1:1 myself .... and @ jonathan it cool here these pics are on the bench where its really dark brown .. when outside with different light it turns more orange its like a rust flipflop hahahaha just made a fuelline to the carb and a throttle linkage on the other side .. .. Edited March 15, 2015 by crazyrichard
crazyrichard Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 added a inner cable , so the rod is a hollow rod where the cable runs trhough , pin on the side ... maybe not 100% realistic .. hard to make a real linkage .. i think one day ik will try to make something out of thin brass plate ...
wayne swayze Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Looks tres cool in the different light! You're adding some nice detail also. I'm a big fan of stretched wheelbase rods, so this model is quite tasty!
crazyrichard Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 thnx wayne !! added 2 coolant hoses , used brass fittings (old ends from guitar strings) and bend rods that where painted matte , i will add some clamps tomorrow and the pic is lousy in this evening light makes it all look more rough , i will shoot some daylight pics tomorrow
crazyrichard Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 better daylight pics and 2 sunshine shots
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Love great job. Love tge weathering. Great fabricating.
DrKerry Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 In the words of George Thorogood.............. B, b, b, b, b, bad to the bone!!!!!!!!!!!
Impalow Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That is one sweet looking 5-window!! love the style!
crazyrichard Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) thnx eric !!! today i glued the headlights in place !! they are actually from a large scale car its either 1/16 or 1/18 .. i believe 1/18 because of the axle i have that go's with it .. should come from a die-cast ford .... i got some of those parts from a guy so thats why i'm not a 100% sure .. now on the rod they have those perfect bullet shaped housings and are nice oversized like you sometimes see on ratrods .... they are just rough ... the supports under the lights need some paint and the housing will get a threathment so just glued on not done yet oh and the pics are crappy evening light pics the size of the head lights , balances the front with the hudge rear wheels and proportion wise its just what it needed Edited March 19, 2015 by crazyrichard
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Great choice on the headlights. Great looking model.l
