Model Pictures
I snapped a few pictures of some of my Mopar related models. The pictures are so-so at best....<sorry!> I used my Xacti pocket camera instead of my old Sony Mavica, which is much better for detail shots. For what they're worth, some of my cars.
This is a Lindberg `64 Polara. 3 Weber 2 bbls,custom exhaust, plumbed and wired engine and chassis. Paint is pearl yellow with a beige interior.
Here's an original AMT `64 Chrysler Imperial with a 4" top chop. Paint is basic black over a medium blue. Wheels are custom photo-etched & billet items. I was very pleased with this projects stance....
Hemi-powered drag bike appropiately named "Overkill". The frame is soldered brass tubing and the engine and brake systems are fully wired, plumbed, and detailed. This won me a best engineered trophy at a show.
This is a chopped late `70's Dodge pick-up. The bed is scratch-built from sheet plastic and the hood is reverse hinged. Power is a 440/6Bbl. Paint is Boyd's Ice Green pearl with a mint colored interior.
How about the Chrysler Atlantic as a convertible?
Altered wheelbase `65 Plymouth
Or maybe a V-6 fuel injected Hemi in a pro-street `27 BMW Dixie?
Hemi-powered `40 Ford sedan delivery
This is a `32 Ford Vicky sporting a cross-rammed 413. This was a full-on high detail build that earned me a few shots in various model magazines and some trophies. The mile-deep paint is clear coat over flat flourenscent orange. Easiest paint job I ever did...
I also like doing goofy small imports.... they look downright comical when slammed, painted, and stuffed full of tire.
Metallic red with a white interior works well on the Hemi powered `69 Dart. I built this before the `68 kit was availiable. This was one of my most intense full detail builds that got me trophies and magazine coverage again.
The hood pins are made from sewing needles and very fine wire for the clips and lanyards. Yes, they work....
I included this one just because it's one of my favorites. It's a 4.2 liter Jaguar straight six in a `27 Ford T bucket that's been converted to right hand drive. This one was a full detail project that was featured in the final issue of the old Plastic Fanatic magazine, that eventually morphed into Model Cars.
Magazine. This was the only car I ever built that got featured.
Ever since I met Amy and we moved into a smallish Co-Op I haven't been building. We're in the process of looking for a new place to live and a hobby room/area is on the must-have list. I really miss building....
