That's pretty good. It's one thing to assemble and paint a kit. This sort of thing is another game all together. Very impressive.

That is awesome! I bet I built 50 model kits when I was a kid and got pretty good at it, but what you've done there is a work of art. Nice job!

thanks for all the kind words, it's plastic. And now displayed at my local hobby shop. I've got two more on the bench right now, been doing them at the same time to knock them out by Christmas. still have a little work to go but thought I'd share.

Are you looking to sell them or just display them? How long each do they generally take you to complete?

They look really good, But what I wanna know is how you make them look like they are old and been sitting outside for years. Ive done some extra customizing on models Ive done, but nothing to that extreme.

thanks guys, I am going to be selling them next year but seeing as I'm not a paid advertiser I don't feel right talking about that here. I respect the heck out of this board. maybe if things go well I'll look into buying add space. but non of these cars are for sale anyway. the 40 ford is my baby, the stang is my dad's christmas preasent, and the chevy is my step dads.
abot 4 days goes into each car right now, and 3 days into the base. I use a lot of tricks to weather them but mostlyh a demal tool and fire! lol

Do you take requests? I could prolly find a project or two for you. :D

You should submit photos of that 40 Ford to Hot Rod Magazine. Bet they'd print it...

As for advertising, we don't sell ad space, but provide a free section for advertising (the vendor's section). Consider permission to use it officially given...

I love this site so much, it makes me want another bird just to have more in conman with you guys! maybe my mark is close enough?

in that case by the words of thunder chicken, yes I'm going to sell them, and I do take requests, but at an additional charge. these things take time ya know. I actually got my first commissioned job today. I am exited and nervous, due to the amount of money I'm being paid, and the car that it is. I've met a few rich and famous people in my life. I don't get impressed by that. But oddly enough, I get star struck by famous cars. Ya, the car is a car that has been in a few magazines and I've drooled over it at many of car shows. It's like if "insert your favorite celebrity here" asked you for a ride home. So we shall see what happens.

For the '40, the old tire laying on the ground is way too shiny, otherwise it's about perfect... Awesome work...
