Nice work Denis, everything was nice but I liked the detail on the figurines in the diorama's the best, especially the three stoners in the "F'ed Up Beyond All Recognition" 1944 scene.. HaHaHaHaHa LOL.. Like you, I like Customs and Hot Rod models too. I read your profile over a ScaleMotorCars.com. I've always done 1/8 Scale Radio Control Can-Am racing as my main hobby but I'm getting older now-a-dayz and I'm missing the old dayz, and at this point in time I think that Outlaw Motorcycle models are my goal as a model'olagest :) or what ever they call us model freks these days....
Look'en forward to see some of your Hot Rod stuff soon..
Well Denis I'll tell you its like this, I'm really not sure what is up with the junkyard stuff yet. A gentleman in my area that used to own a hobby shop had a problem, one of the things the shop used to do is buy peoples model car collections and spare parts that he had in a bunch of boxes. So this guy had to move some of his stuff, I guess he had no place to put it all and he heard me mentioned one time how I like scratch building and I would take anything and everything that was or wasn't attached to a sprue and he gave me a call and asked if I still wanted some stuff and about two weeks later he came by with two pretty good size boxes that had about 5 kits in each box. well needless to say I was pretty jazzed ya know,, and then, two weeks later, he calls me on Thursday and tells me he will be in town for the weekend and wanted to know if I would be home, well, being partially disabled I'm allays home. If I'm not home I had a doctors appointment and will be home soon,, anyway, I tell him I will be home. So'oo,, come Saturday afternoon, he shows up on my door step with twelve boxes that were so full of model stuff that I couldn't help bring them into the house cause they were all too heavy for me to lift.he was driving a green 69 charger and the trunk, the back seat and passenger side were all full of shipping boxes full of anything and everything that has to do with model cars. In one box that my wife said weighed about 20 pounds. we found 6 of the chrome model cars that only came on a select few kit in the 60's. besides those little tid-bits, in the hand fulls of stuff we went through, we came across 4 of the old Television and record player combo's that only came in like two kits. all I can say is that we still have a lot of boxes to organize but if you need something, if I don't know how to identify it, maybe send a picture of it and I can see if it's in one of the bags we have already gone thru..
Well the first Junkyard photo album that has all the plastic zip-lock bag full's of parts that my wife and I organized from what was in one cardboard box. the one box ended up being organized into those bags that are in the photos in that album. so each one of the photos are each a different type of parts bag and can be had for just about anything LOL.. I hope that helps
Wow that's a kind of cool story ! Was this guy called SantaSomething ? :) I do have tons of projects, mostle 1/24-1/25th scale. So I will contact you for sure in the near (close?) future. sorry my English is not very good. I am preparing my move between the apartment that we'll leave soon and the house which we renew for the moment. Thus to the end of October I am deprived of model making and I can only digg and collect new treasures :) Here in Belgium, most of the time you can only buy Revell/Monogram kits. AMT, ERTL, MPC are very hard to find.
Denis, you do really clean nice work. I especially like your military work! Few really understand the true meaning of "FUBAR".... Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your BIG scale Deuces builds!
Please wait...
