Anyone build Models?

[onebadmk8]

If anyone is interested I have a Model Kit Board Here.

Heres my latest craze, JUNKERS!! It's more fun then a clean build anyday!! Let me know what you think.

Heres the fence Im building on half the groundwork. I even used my very own last Name on the sign. I made the sign in Photoshop 7.0 in a 600 dpi .jpg format. I then printed it on Kodak high gloss photo paper complete with a bass wood frame.

This sign will be TRASHED when Im done. the fence came out OK I guess, for my first one it was tough, took me 2.5 hours to make 16 inches?

Im going to dirty the fence up and hang junk on it and what not. It will be sweet.

Heres some more shots of the fence work and signage I made.

Heres the sign progress.

Above is some good shots of the Beware Of Dog, Entrance and Trespassing signs. I made these in Photoshop 7.0.

Heres the third car in my junkyard.

Its another 67 GTX by Revell.

I dremeled off the front drivers fender and door as well as the trunk (Which will be getting custom made hinges and it will be posed open).

Im really rusting this one out bad!! Its been here forever! LOL!

Its also my first vinyl top attempt too.

What do you think?

This shot is my favorite.

Heres another angle of the GTX which now sports a basswood 2x12 hood prop, neatly splintered too!

This is tough decision making as far as the layout of the cars and parts go. What do you guys think of this layout?

Please note the cars are NOT finished yet.

Heres a great shot of the rust and grime.

These are shots of the two cars Im featuring in my junkyard diorama.

Believeable?

The first car is an MPC Vintage 1985 Royal Knight 1/24 scale El Camino.

The Second car is a Revell 1/24 scale 1967 Plymouth GTX.

Heres some more pics.

For the under carriage I mixed yellow/red/flat black and mildly drybrushed with testors steel.

Here are some more shots.

DUDE! That is F&(@%&*ing amazing!

I built some models, but never to that extent. I'll dig out a few from the garage storge. They will be a bit dusty though.

Thats is very impressive. :wtg:



Would make me feel better if your junkyard only had fords and chevys rusted in it.

All I can say is WoW

 

[res1vw21]

that is very impressive. how much time does it take to build the highly detailed cars?

 

[hotwheelsjr]

That is waaaaaaay COOL!!:sSig_goodjob:

 

[charger70]

The votes are in. Its official-you've got way too much free time!!
Actually....I'm in awe. :sSig_goodjob:

 

[63hemipolara]

I am an avid model builder but NEVER got into that kind of detail, a "junker" must take quite a bit more time and effort to create. WOW.

 

[birdboy]

great job, you are a true craftsman

 

[69 Runner]

(someone was gonna get around to this. might as well be me)

OK...now lets see you pull one OUT of the yard.......

and RESTORE it:Groaner:

 

[Pastortom1]

I'll second that motion............:grin:

 

[Pistol Pete]

And when exactly did you get photos of my back yard ??? :waiting:

 

[onebadmk8]

LOL Thanks Guys. It's acually easier to build these because the more you mess up the better it looks, melt some plastic here, dremel there, it's fun as hell and really doesn't take that much time at all. It's much less time consuming then a clean build by far.

 

[Kids69Runner]

Lets see you do a chryslers at carlisle swap meet project. You know, parts on tarps, cars in the car corral......That would be cool. Anyway, awsome stuff. You did a great job on the car to make them look old.

 

[GTXperience]

Like everyone else has said ... WOW! The one thing I was looking for but didn't see was a partially pulled backseat with a rats nest under it and a junk yard dog sleeping in one of the cars. ;)

 

[onebadmk8]

My Winter project if I get time will be a 2 ft x 3ft yeard for all the cars complete with a light pole and a shack too!!

 

[68 coronet]

Hey how much is the 8 3/4 center section in the trunk.....LOL!! Man that looks so real!!!!
Great job!! Do you take requests?

 

[onebadmk8]

LOL $50.00!!

I have been working on this off and on for 3 years if I had to take requests Id be on it for a decade. LOL I just wish i had more time for this stuff it is so much fun and relaxing. HOPEFULLY this Winter Ill get it toally done.
