Red Chariot lives!

This beauty was just finished by Ron S. , an active member of Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale. Ron has been building some very cool vintage box art models. I just love these oldies and seeing the box art come to life is so cool! Ron previously built the option drag tub also.

Monogram Little T by Ron S. 1/24 scale

Much respect for the old school when it comes to Hot Rods AND to Model Kits! They just don't put very many cool model kits these days. It's a shame, just look at this Vintage restored T by Ron S.! It's a clear indication that people would buy these in the original design if they were offered up!
I still have mine to build...but there will be at least two other's building theirs before me.

Mongram's original Little T

After a long search and a more detailed longer search I finally came up with one! This came over seas from a good guy I met on Coffin Corner. It's almost all there and the parts missing are going to be a cinch to find I think! I will post finished photo when it's done...love these old Monogram kits!

Monogram's Little T

This line of kits Monogram put out are probably my favorite of their offerings! I might just be building this one next!

Blue Beetle CLONE

She's all done! I am happy and had a blast building it! If you want to see the progress just copy and paste this link.

Blue Beetle II

I know this was created after the Monogram Kit "Blue Beetle" '29 Model A pickup, but to see something in 1:1 scale like this is REALLY cool! I don't know who took the photos I have accumulated, but thank you! I hope to find more and better photos soon. Almost every detail of the model kit was included on this truck. The owner is Otis Eldridge from up in New Jersey area. The photos came from LEAD EAST in 2005. I have never seen other photos from any other shows. Rod & Custom should do an article on this!

Blue Beetle CLONE back out!

I better stop getting so far ahead of myself! I need to get clear on this and see if I can level that horrible paint finish out! This is being built with a Monogram later issue Early Iron kit and some of the original parts I scavenged. The scuba stuff was a gift from a friend on TRaK and was made by Replicas and Miniatures. This shouldn't take too long, so check back for finished pics!

BIG DEUCE

If Revell had presented the latest issue like THIS, I would have wanted one badly! Now I have to hope I get lucky one day to buy the original just to build it RIGHT! from instructions submitted by Don Horneff.
Looks like I will wish in one hand and .... to get these too! 1/8 scale takes a lot of shelf space, but when they look this cool, I don't care! Long live old school!
