Wow that detail in insane. I can only be envious of being able to do that.

OK so basic weathering done. Will get some mud stuck to the bottom when I make up the base.
Still need trap for engine. bent up prop, canopy and piles of good and scrap parts.

Seat belts and buckles getting put on. Took the time to paint the door reflectors, only to realize they can't be seen once the door cards are put onto the main cabin part. Oh well. Haha

Sorry, forum won't upload the pics in the correct orientation.

Amazing is an understatement. I can swap the microprocessor out of a cell phone but I can't imagine the number of steps and techniques needed to create such a detailed sculpture.

It helps that the guy was a bit of a showoff and loved attention so there are a pile of pictures to work from.

It is not clean. Was handling it for probably at least an hour to finish things up. A lot of that was dialing in ride height and camber on all four corners. I'll clean and re wax it and take better pics...eventually. lol

Oh. And still gotta put on the license plates. Lol. Also debating on if I should put on the windshield wipers or not

Camber looks way off.

Going for that "hellaflush" look. I actually got rid of some camber cuz it was too much (as much as this was supposed to be a VIP build, I couldn't bring myself to have that much camber). lol

Beautiful!
There is not a hope I could pull that off unless it was in a scrap yard someplace.

Tcoat · 05-03-2021, 09:21 PM

I like my models as dirty little things!

Tarped and prop in place. Canopy and gunsight all that are left. Will get a final dirt and mud treatment when I do the base up.

Ohio Enthusiast · 05-03-2021, 09:37 PM

Just to nitpick - the prop blades are bent more sideways in the photo but yours are bent more backwards (and the one that is sideways is bent the wrong way). Looks like the prop rotated counter-clockwise when viewed from the cockpit, with the blades bending to the left.

Edit: they're also aren't pitched at the same angle of attack. Not final posing?

Those take way more skills. I actually came across a build on IG of some sedan that was crashed into a tree. Made me think of you. hahaha
