Winter time model building thread.

Thanks for the compliment. You've posted some nice stuff too!

The full detail builds can be a pain in the *** because you don't know where to stop. I add plug wires then think I need fuel lines, which means there should be throttle linkage too. And now we can't ignore other underhood plumbing, such as brake lines and coolant hoses. Might as well add the battery cables. And now to connect it all underneath....

The street rods are fun because everything is exposed. So between super-detailing and using unusual powertrains you have a show stopper. The Orange `32 was in Car Model, Model cars, and Scale Auto. The Jag had a full page feature in the final issue of Plastic Fanatic (which became Model Cars)

But that `64 Imperial. If you flip that one over you see masking tape holding the glass in and the tires are epoxied to the inside of the fenderwells. A building style called Slammers because you, well...slam them together. VERY satisfying builds.

Let me know... I have more. 8)

That's my problem with the full builds. If I don't draw the line somewhere, then it's go for broke: the linkage, the rubber hoses, the battery cables, the actual metal brake rotors, the...you get the point. One of the reasons I call it quits at box stock. With my personality I wouldn't know where to quit if I don't say enough is enough up front. Though with my Daytona build I'm thinking of going the underhood detail route because I've got the scale DOHC Hemi going into it, and the engine is just...lacking.

By all means, post away!
