brett Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 as some of you may know from an under glass post a few weeks back I've taken to building some of the cars from cars( the movie)The sheriff is done and Docs almost finished. Alcladed the modified front bumper( one of my bet Alclad jobs at that, picked it up with a piece of soft cotton cloth only to find the black underneath was still quite tacky ) so its been stripped and I'll re-paint this weekend. so after my set back with Doc yesterday I decided to start on mater, using a 55 chev cameo as the starting point. Just going to post up pics but if you wanna know how I did something just ask some liberties have been taken and some details fudged a little but I think he'll look the part
lanesteele240 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Oh no. Its the ghost light. Any parent with the cars dvd would know what im talking about
Custom Hearse Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 These are gonna be awesome! Definitely going to be watching these builds!!!
o-man Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Oh no. Its the ghost light. Any parent with the cars dvd would know what im talking about LOL, I do! Great job so far; will have to show my son.
Foxer Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Those are looking good ... a fun build for sure!
Shardik Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I would venture to say that you're probably having more fun than anyone else on this forum.
peekay Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Looking great - and Shardik is probably right.
Platerpants Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 make the king please! and figure out what lightning would be
ToyLvr Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Oh no. Its the ghost light. Any parent with the cars dvd would know what im talking about That movie is my Grandson's favorite (age 2). Just watched it again this evening for the umpteenth time, including "Ghost Light. Love these models, Brett!
brett Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 thanks guys, Having fun with mater at least. the King, Chick Hicks, Filmore and the Sarge, Sally, Ramone and The Snot rod and lastly but not the least Lghtning are the cars I already have to build. Lightning is based on a c6 vette with a lot of generic nascar stylings thrown in from what I've found out so thats what I'm basing him on. If I can find what I need at a reasonable price I'll happily do any of the others but 11of the cast from what I have so far isnt too bad. ANYHOW bit of color thrown about today
HondaSan72 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Simply fantastic!! Amazing job!! I know "I" love that movie and all the Mater Tales!!! KUTGW!!
Space Cowboy Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Brett you have taken the challenge and you have so far done an excellent job. Keep it coming
slusher Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Nice paint Brett, your doing some really good work...
Kennyboy Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Man Brett! You are doing just awesome work here! Cant wait to see Sally!
brett Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 thanks guys, appreciate the nice comments, gotta few little touchups to and find some wheels but he's edged quite quickly towards the finish line today
Aukoue Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Such a creative idea, they're amazing! I'm jealous of your skills
Shardik Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Anyone who can look at that and not grin needs their pulse checked .
Tourpretendent Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I like this car a lot. Should see the movie for his friends
brett Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 thanks guys, appreciate it. As I seeminly become more of a starter than finisher of builds, here's the progress on Sally and the start of Lightning Mc Queen. Sally being a Porshce 911 GT3, Tamiya kit relatively box stock plus a little body work. almost ready for the paint booth now and Lightning, have started with a 2010 ZR1 corvette. Filling holes he dosen't need I've done bigger (or worse ,depending on how you look at it) body mods before so will start smoothing him out later on today.
