I did one more pinning job on the rear fuel cell guard rail. The bar has been raised considerably and these old ERTL/AMT kits just don’t measure up. Frankly, not having built car models very often in my later modeling years, I really don’t like the lackluster engineering especially after recently completing Meng and Tamiya products.

I also cleaned up some mold lines on the body. In the late 1800s, they opened up the wall and connected the two stores making a bigger hardware store.įinished the roll cage, painted it and all the rest of the black chassis parts. I’m waiting on the owner to get me more pictures of the store on the left which is the main store. I went with a scratch-built wooden stair. The real building has a very frail metal fire escape that would have been very difficult to model. All of this was drawn by me using SketchUp and CorelDraw. Flat surfaces are laser-cut 1/8' white acrylic cut for me by Twin Whistle Model and Sign Company. I built it with help from the store owner and images gleaned from Google Earth. Just completed for my railroad empire is a replica of a 159-year-old hardware store that’s still functioning in Newtown, Bucks County, PA. On deck will be something a bit more challenging: The Takom AH-64D Apache Long-Bow. So stay tuned to this short, not so complicated build. The rear angled members didn’t reach their final location properly and required drilling, pinning and CA’ing to get them to work. Painting all this before assembly would just make a headache trying to get those tiny glue spots to fuse properly with paint nearby. I tested to make sure I could get the instrument panel and seat in place before doing this. The entire assembly is gloss black so I’m assembling it all and will airbrush it as a complete assembly. Leaving the engine aside I started building the chassis and roll cage.

I have to wait until the engine is assembled and painted. Having to thread the plugs leads through the headers is why I haven’t terminated them into the heads. In this image, I’m holding the header near its final position and you can see that it obscures the access to those tiny plug opernings. The contest winner will be determined by voting by the members and I doubt they’ll be that specific in their discernment. The carburetor, while looking like a Holley, doesn’t appear to be correctly shaped for a NASCAR engine, nor does it have the spacer block beneath it and between intake manifolf. I am alternating them from left and right block sides. I’m not concerned about getting the firing order correct since I don’t know it. 012' brass wire into holes drilled by a similarly-sized carbide drill for the ignition wiring. The positions of the spark plugs is ambiguous and is partially blocked by the exhaust headers when they’re installed. I already ran into difficulty in building the engine. The latter captures the 16' projectile coming up from the projectile hoist, rotates it to the loading an… This includes the rammer machinery which exists in the officers’ compartment at the rear and the cradle and spaning tray. I finished detailing the major components of the gun loading system in the gun house itself. Thanks Guys! Yes! SketchUp is a difficult program to work with mechanical things especially if you don’t have dimensioned drawing from which to draw.ĭrawing continues feverishly.

Takom Iowa Class Mark 7, 16'50Cal Turret with Full Interior Start-to-Finish Ships My Iowa Tureet project is fully described in the Ships Forum of Kitmaker if you’re so inclined to review it. Actually, the lack of complexity is somewhat of a relief since the last five years of modeling I’ve done are the most complex and sophisticated modeling I’ve ever done. Building the elaborate safety cage is somewhat challenging, but nothing in comparison to painting and detailing a normal car interior. I find that the older car kits just don’t have the brilliant molded-in details that modern kits by Tamiya, Meng, or Takom is currently producing.Īs simple as some car kits are, NASCAR autos have no doors, no side windows, no grills, chrome trim, side windows… ergo, pretty simple bodies. I generally don’t build cars since they don’t offer enough challenge for me, but with the upcoming contest, I will give this one a shot. I had won this AMT/Ertl Kodak Oldsmobile 1980s vintage NASCAR racer in one of the club’s usual end-of-meeting raffles. The subject of this one is any kind of four wheel racing vehicle. Our Louisville, KY model club, Military Moderlers Club of Louisville, is holding a mini-contest in July.
