Wolfie427.com Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Wow !! This week we had this funny towed in still warm to the touch!!!Figured with a fiberglass repair kit and some funny car parts we could patch her back together and run funny car class...
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 James, that thing looks sick. Very believable effect. You have a great eye for detail.
vizio93 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Nice job James !!! Looks like the Snow Man has melted . Love the detail
Peter Lombardo Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 What a mess!!!! Great job, not your average Funny Car build up. Very unique and original....the "smoking" look is very clever.
disabled modeler Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi.........having been around fires before, looking at your funny car build i can almost smell the smoke!!!!!!!!! wow!
weasel Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 interesting effect!! what did ya burn it with?? very realistic... hmmm, did ya'll know that GM Opticlean burns??[part# 1051515]it's the alcohol content!! surface fire only, not real hot, but would probably bubble the paint!!
Railfreak78 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 WOW is all I can say. I love your builds. Was this based on a real Gene Snow blow up or just for the unique build?
Wolfie427.com Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks fellas....this body came smashed in the mail so I figgered I would do a wrecked funnycar...actually it would have been melted a bit and the whole inside of body blackened....I used dullcoat and sprinkled/smudged black pastel dust for ash/smoke look...exhaled from my cigarette to get smoke in 1st pic...tried to replicate exploded gas tank and motor...I used no reference so its kinda "imagineered"..Later....W427
rustybill1960 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 one helleva fireball dude TOTALLY AWESOME MAN great looking build thanks for sharing man later russ
John Teresi Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 james.......what a great idea.....luv it!.....really really cool!!!!!........i have seen funnys that have burned down......and yours is truly awesome.
Joe Handley Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Wow, that don't look "snow" good! Great build!
charlzrocks Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 If a kit came in with a bad body, I would just do my best to build it and then take it out back and light an M80 under it! Same effect, LOL!
Jon Cole Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 It's a Cheetos car... it's either baked, or fried! No matter, it's good!
Foxer Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 wow .. that is a believable and fantastic job!
pharr7226 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Wolfie, you are soooooo sick. I mean that as a compliment.
AMT Pacemakers Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Wow !! !!!Figured with a fiberglass repair kit and some funny car parts we could patch her back together and run funny car class... If it had a radiator cap, I'd say save it and drive under a new one!! CCSS
Raul_Perez Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Very nice weathering!! All you need to sell the effect in 1:1 is a drag strip diorama to sit it on!! Later,
