2002p51 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 This is one of those models that got started two or three years ago and then, for whatever reason, got put away and not finished. Until now that is. When I reopened the box I realized that it only needed to have the interior painted and it would be done. Basically this is a simple, straight out of the box deal. Colors are Testors Model Master Guards Red and Ivory.
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 That looks like the Dick Tracy version of the 36. When they made the molds, it looks like they some how chopped the top on them. Made a good lookin model though. Yours turned out lookin good. I like the wide 5s on them.
Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 That looks sweet. How did you blend in the top? How about some engine and chassis pics?
2002p51 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 That looks sweet. How did you blend in the top? How about some engine and chassis pics? Fitting the top took a little work, those things fit lousy! But you just gotta fuss with it and fuss with it until you get it close. Close is the best it's gonna get. There's nothing worth looking at as far as the chassis. Just straight out of the box, painted flat black. I rarely spend any time on the bottom of a model any more. They never get turned over, nothing is ever seen, so why bother. I also have to plead lazy on the engine. It's straight out of the kit except for the carbs which came from my parts box. I was going to add plug wires and stuff, honest, I really was, but just got lazy and threw it together.
kingiguana Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Very cool looking build. Where did those wheels come from? Kit or resin items? Again, two thumbs up !
2002p51 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 Very cool looking build. Where did those wheels come from? Kit or resin items? Again, two thumbs up ! Right out of the box. Stock '36 wheels.
Steven Zimmerman Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The more I look at this,the more I like it.....the color on the wheels contrasts well with the red;kinda makes the whole thing come alive............
Fletch Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Very nice, clean from front to back. The colors work well with the '36 body lines.
Sixties Sam Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I like it! The clean, understated look with a bright color works well! Nice job!
Modellpularn Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Clean build! Sometimes simple is the answer, like the formula I read about in Street Rodder a long time ago. KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid..... I think Frank Oddo wrote it in his column.
