Shambles Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I've wrecked many models over the years. It got to be a contest with me and my late, younger brother to see who could make the most realistic-looking wreck. Here's one of my later attempts:

olsbooks Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Impressive. I tried to "wreck" a kit like this in my youth. My method involved gasoline and matches. Desired results were not achieved. Explaining to my dad about the ruined bbq grille lead to negative feedback not so easily dismissed either. Edited May 24, 2019 by olsbooks

I can appreciate John's work because he took the time to look at the structure of a car and how it would actually bend in this kind of hit.
NYLIBUD Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Oh no, not a Mopar.Couldn't it be like a tuner or even a Ford...Great job though.

Any wrecked muscle car is sad to see. I would imagine doing a Corvette is a whole different ballgame. Edited June 11, 2019 by vamach1
Bucky Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I saw a wrecked '69 Vette once...it was cracked in two, like an egg shell!! Sad to see this is a MOPAR, here, but it is very well executed!
Shambles Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks for the responses. I bought that built kit on eBay. It was a fairly nice build but coming apart. At the time, I was doing my salvage yard diorama and had quite a few wrecks in it. I'll post some more photos of wrecks when I get through with remodeling at the house. Hope to have room for some more dioramas too. http://www.shamblesmodels.com/dioramas.html
LouO Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 hate to say this about a wreck, but considering it's a model "well done"
Gramps46 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 I am impressed with what you accomplished. Very realistic.
