Modelhaus' new Merc is tasty!


This was built by Tom Kren just recently and this has been teasing me! If you want the grille or the whole body, grille and hood...it can be done! www.modelhaus.com
The hubcaps are by Bob Dudek and if you are lucky enough to have a set, you will be like me and save them for something "worthy".

My favorite 1/25 scale '49-'50 Cadillac's

Ted Lear

Steve Boutte

Irvin Arter

I have to get one of these someday! Modelhaus resin kits and I think they are about $75.00. High priced, but they look great built!

'32 5W photoshopped


When I get spare time, I like to mess around with photos. I am not near as good as some guys, but it's fun....none the less! This is a 1/25 scale model in a PS'd Coker Tire ad. I built the model in less than two days, so don't expect a masterpiece haha!

Jimmy Flinstone Resin '49 Ford


This is on the bench right now. I am going to have to do some modifying to get the hood/grille to work.....this is what happens when you don't play the fitting test game enough. ahhhh well!

All Hopped Up


Got done with my second restoration of the AMT '25 Ford Model T Coupe. These kits are so cool! I am glad they are being reissued so I can build more for less money! (Shiney one is new finished)

Seeing double?



Lyle Willits posted on TRaK showing a 1:1 version of a '49 Merc wagon "what if" car and his own creation of the car in 1/25 scale. I thought that was neat. At the same time I was reading that post, I was going through some magazines I have here looking for inspiration. Ran across a '32 5window that looks almost exactly like the model I built! The 1:1 is a highboy , has different headers....but damn it looks close!

The right color



Here is the second '25 T that I am restoring from a glue bomb. I just didn't like the first color, but after some debating and advice from friends at "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" , I was able to make up my mind. Thanks guys!
The color I didn't like was the Deep Jewell Green. Not only did I see some ugly blemishes that needed rescued, but the white top was TOO bright on that color. I am sticking with the Mystical Marroon.
