Dr G--- look pretty good to me, especially considering what ugly stuff I build . Heres a few pictures of a couple in progress. First a 34 Packard that ran into a "can opener".

Well ,rats Catt. I would like to have seen it. I've got a 35 packard I am going to put in the junkyard & right now I'm getting pics of the V12 motor they had ---I am going to build one to put in the Packard --probably one thats patially dissasembled , that will save trying to duplicate...

Steamhead : Sometimes it ain't easy, believe me!! As far as the Merc--- Would it help if I told you I have two of them? On top of that , I also have a 55 pontiac, a 53 olds, a 54 chev, a 50 Ford, a 55 Dodge & a 55 Chrysler all made by the same people & just as nice that I will have to...

Love those 1/64 models Catt . How about showing us that tri-carbed Corvette mill? Please??

Thats a pretty neat kit, even if you only have part of it left you should have fun with it.

OK --- Here is a convetible top frame built, this one is to fit a 40 ford, that cars top came off easier than the Lincoln so I decided to try the idea out before I tore the Lincoln up.

This is the start of another Hudson pickup--- YES Hudson made such a truck. Then I'm going to do the Lincoln, first thing will be to take the top off & build a frame for the top so I can put on a tattered top. I'm not sure if I will create a lot of damage or perhaps have it just "run out" &...

In an ongoing effort to destroy EVERY 1 /64 th car I can get my hands on here are a few pics of progress on a couple others & a shot of my next victim. :twisted: The first is the 40 ford cpe I showed earlier, got a bit more done, the caved in roof has got to be faired in to look right...

Well , that explains a lot, too bad the circumstanes were so dire that it became neccessary to do that. I hope your situation has improved a bunch. Nothing wrong with learning to do a lot with a little & inovating in materials for any reason. I've been asked many times why I don't sell...

Thanks everyone. Glad you like it. I just discovered I forgot one thing-- I have a steering column to put in , you can't see it in the pictures ,but the steering linkage you can see is connected to a steering box, it needs a column attached to it. Nothing fancy, just a finish nail painted...

Great work!! What I don't understand is HOW you can bear to sell them!! I've also found that most kits are only good as a starting point for a "custom" building, never been able to just build one as made.

And a few more to finish up.

I finally decided "good enuf" for the Hudson truck. Here is one of the Beginning & several of it finished.

I've used the Choo-Choo chassis as a basis for a scratch built brass loco more than once. It is a cheap way to get nice driver wheels , side rods & valve gear ( not all of them have it) The only mod needed is to put a gear on one axle. I grab them up when I see them cheap-- $15.00 is a...

Where do I send the cigar? :thumb: I guess I copied it close enough if you recongized it!! I thought it would be a nice touch in the junkyard. Actually one would be quite a find , the hotrod guys are using them again , when they can find one. :mrgreen:

Charlie. Thanks for the kudos on the model ,, I need to finish it soon. This should get me back on it! Actually I modeled this from a picture in a book a friend had about the history of trucks & the one in the book had a sleeper on it, not quite like mine but a sleeper for sure.

The Hudson is getting closer, here are a few pics of the "almost done" truck. This is a shot showing the rear end I built for it & the radiator, rear end is a couple of electrical fittings( not sure what from) , half a gold bead & a reworked oval head screw. The radiator is a piece of the...

Thats a thought Russ , but I'm not sure that a paste like that would give a "splattered on" effect. I'm trying for a look of getting dirt & mud thrown up during driving. Thanks , I may try it & see.

Yes it was indeed the last year Ford made them. Believe it or not the Ford flathead continued in production for MANY years -- in FRANCE. They used them as tank engines till probably the late 70's. In fact among the hot rod fraternity there was recently a LOT of excitement about a large amount of...

NUTS!!! A while back I posted about making mud & such using Plaster of Paris mixed with Powdered tempra Paint --- WELL, I spent ALL day trying to find some Powdered Tempra --- several places I called had it --so they said on the phone -- when I showed up all they had was liquid tempra. Tried...
