In my previous post I already told you about Hakan Guney’s work. It was too much stuff to squeeze into one post, so here you have more. I’m sure you didn’t have enough, right? Among his most “traditional” civil vehicles, you’ll find 2 great hot rods: a ’27 Ford and a ’36 Ford Coupe . Another great project is […]

If there were model kits in heaven, this is surely one of the kits you get up there! I wish all kits would have as many options as this one. This is a must have! I always wanted to build a Model T and bought one by Lindberg a long time ago, a very disappointing kit. But […]

Oscar, the owner of Junkyard El Nene, has a great variety of cars in his junkyard. What caught my attention the most, were the great amount of pre-war pickups.   Of course, there are many A Fords, but some of them I can not identify. I guess most of them were not pickups initially, but […]

So, I think this is it. I’ve finished the 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner driven by Glenn Fireball Roberts. The weathering is done, I’ve added the ropes holding the hood and the trunk lid and finished some details. All in all, I’m happy with the car. Some  other details I’ve added are the brakets holding the […]

Cliff sent me some pics of his Rat Rod Cadillac Town Car. I was really impressed about the look of this ride. I guess what I liked the most were the welding seams on the roof from chopping it. The military details are pretty cool! Check out the shovel. The color of the chasis makes a great […]

This is the final lap, ladies and gentlemen! I’ve finally finished the weathering on the 57 Black Widow. One important detail on this build is the driver’s door. It has suffered a small racing crash and I tried to add some fresh scratching there. I actually painted over the paint and the decal. Another option would […]

It has been a while since I’ve last posted something about these two racers. As you may remember from the previous posts, I had some trouble with the 1957 Chevrolet Black Widow. I had a small accident that ruined the whole paint and I had to start all over again. The paint looks pretty neat […]

I remember that my brother bought this very same kit a long time ago (15 years ago, I guess). It was an antique kit, the box was actually smaller than this re-edition for Revell 50th anniversary. I saw the re issue one day while checking out the local hobby store and bought it… just because […]

  Robert sent me an email not so long ago, asking if I had a hint on how to make a vinyl top. I wrote back, saying that he should try the good old masking tape trick. So he did, and I must say, he did it great! He first shared this pic with me […]

I bought this kit for my brother as a Christmas present last year. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect, but the kit wasn’t really expensive anyway – 23 USD is just a little more than a single car kit and we are talking about a truck, a semi and a car here. […]

Kit Review – Lindberg Ford Model T Pickup

I bought this kit pretty much blind from a catalogue. There wasn’t much information there other than it was a Model T pickup and in scale 1/24. The reason I wanted a Model T Pickup was because of the one Model T in my Grandpa’s junkyard. I loved that little truck (there is a picture […]

As I’ve told you some weeks ago, we started working on this double project to make a DVD out of it. The idea is to show you how to build classic stock cars. We got inspired by Revell’s Black Widow kit – but that wasn’t enough. Although the kit is great, you can still make […]

On the title pic you can see Yannick’s Ford 32 Rat Rod. As Yannick explained me, he started with a Revell kit, but did a lot of kit bashing and scratch building himself. To make the ride real low, he scratch built the chasis. Note the details in the engine: the cables and the exhaust […]

I’ve told you that I started the Black Widow from Revell. Of course, the idea wasn’t to build the car just out of the box. Thanks to the hints and tips given by some of you, I found some really cool insights. So there is some scratch building involved here. But while talking about the […]
