Bad-Ass

It's been awhile since I blogged and trust me this isn't the first thing to impress me in awhile either. I use my blog as my homepage, so I want to look at this everyday for awhile. Nice work CARPS!


Norm Veber , owner of Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland built this vintage minty kit! This is just another reason why Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale forum is the BEST! I love seeing these types of models, hot rods, vintage builds, vintage box art models, drag cars, kustoms and anything that REALLY rocks! No tuners or NASCAR crap!


Before I quit, check this '48 Ford by a fellow Nebraska Jason Scheffler! TRaK4life!

done like the box art by Dan Robinson

This kit was a sure bet to get hot rodder's attention! I have so far, seen nothing but real nice ones built up on Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale forum.

Gary Hatstat's classy AMT Merc

Yep, Gary did the chop and all of the kustom work on this classy AMT kit. It's really refreshing to see such a beautiful Merc built like this by hand. (apposed to the Revell pre-chopped kit). The style , color and execution is right on! You guys that aren't a member of TRaK in scale are consistantly MISSING OUT! www.thedpmcc.com/trak.html

Roger's Chrysler is delicious!

I love TRaK! You just will not see this kind of work anywhere else. Roger Nordhagen is another one of the guys I watch for, he can paint very well and his style is beauty! If you have not joined TRaK yet, you are really wasting your time.

ZED's at it again!

Renaud Legardez is one bad mo' fo' when it comes to building kustoms and he is really putting it to the staples on his paint jobs too! Drastic Plastics Gold Member and Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale guru....ZED is one I look forward to seeing what's next!

This is my homepage...

And so I look at this page so many times a day, it's nice to have something beautiful to look at! Russ Beckwith, member on TRaK built this sweet Ford!

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.

If you didn't guess by now....

I love the hell out of vintage box art AND especially models that are built to look like the art work! Ron S. a member of TRaK just finished this beauty! Until now, I had never in my life seen one built this way and it's SO nice!


This is the original box end. Below shown is 16B/A built by another friend of mine Dave Charlton who has built a BUNCH of vintage box art models.

Bryce Michelmore's 3-Window is Bitchin'!

"This one was inspired by a Keith Weesner painting I have hanging on my wall called Speed & Style" says Bryce Michelmore of Melbourne, Austrailia.
I am holding a "Build a model from Art" on my forum Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale that ends in August 2009. This is the first I have seen finished and it's absolutely stunning! Killer 3window Bryce!

Leroy Goulart inspired....

"farbeyonddriven" as he likes to be called...a member of my forum "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" built this '49 Ford. The work done to this is very typical of early kustomizers trying to outdo their last. You can't replace this era, we can only immitate and he did very well at that!

Right now..

'60 Merc and '64 Galaxie.

My favorite Revell '57 Black Widow 150's so far

This kit took off as being one of the most popular purchases this year. So far the builds I have seen , people are enjoying them a lot. I might pick one up sometime.

If they want it, they will be made

I had nothing to do with these shirts, but they are starting to appear and that's great! Ed Fluck is the man behind the project. Tom Cowles modeling his new shirt with pride. I plan to do some shirts with a different logo on black....so keep and eye peeled!
