A Couple of 1/16 Scale

Hope this works and you like the models

Hi Ian and welcome,it's good to see another 1/16th scale builder here,nice work on all three the 57 is that the one that also came with cragars with it in the kit?

Regards Tony.

Nice cars Ian! I love the big scale models too, but only because I can't see the smaller ones any more.

Welcome to the forum - keep on building mate.

Hiya guys
tony yes thats the one with the cragars

G'day Ian. Love the 16th scale stuff, where do you get yout big diameter wheels from, got a 57 convertable I need some wheels for, any clues? Nice job on all 3 mate.
Cheers
Kirk

what sort of wheels you after i tend to use 1/18 but i have a box of bigger stuff

They look good, though some bare metal foil would bring the 55 alive

I'm thinking the ones like on the 55 would suit the best.

Hiya Tubs
i have a set of those with gunmetal coloured centres if they will do what you want
they are slightly different in the fact that they are a deeper dish

That could actually work, let me know what you want for them. Where do you get yours from?
Would like to get a few more kits one day, old story, had them when they first came out and then trashed em, had a 57 convertable, a 55 coupe, a 55 nomad, a dodge(still got the motor), a 63 Vette and a Mustang. Only got a 57 convertable at the moment tho. Got a spare body (painted before I got it) but the window frame is broken, if you're interested.
Cheers
Kirk

pm your details mate the motor would be of interest as i want to mould one up but the body sounds good to
if you want ill find a couple more sets of wheels and put em in one baggy for you ill post a pic
some tyres need a clean and i only have three of the chromeies
cheers Ian

Welcome Ian! I hope you enjoy it here.
Cool models mate. I really like the green Chev. Green's nice....

Chris.

Thanks chris its a candy lime pearl by tamiya i was a bit lazy with this one i usualy use the airbrush

Hi
Good job Ian and welcome to the forum also.
I am actually working on the 57 conv my self at the moment
only in mock up stage,i will post some photos shortly,I also have the 55 sedan 55 wagon 34 phaeton to build.
Cheers Marshie

giddau marshie im paticularly after the 34 coupe and a 41 willies in 1/16 i have a motor im going to mould up that would suit both prefectly

Had the 34 coupe but decided to sell to homer only a couple of weeks ago.there is a bloke on ebay been trying to sell one lately but wants $140.00 dreaming.do you want a new one.just on ebay now and it is listed at $120,00 if you are interested.
Cheers Marshie

Ian.
I have got a lot of my 1/16th kit's from evil bay USA and there is alway's a couple of 34s on there and not priced up like here.

Regards Tony.

Some nice work there mate. I also love building in 1:16. I have 3 Trans Ams that I have built in 1:16, and another 6 to build lol. I would also love some tips on where to get better wheels for some of them.

gmp diecast are probably the best for wheels but you can scrounge around the model swap meets and shops and by 1/18 wreck this gives you good sets of wheels and a lot of interior gear
im always surfing evibay but im tight fisted when it comes to spending a lot on my models as my thinking is the paint work costs a bloody lot

Some great stuff you got there Ian.
The Chevy's are kool, yes....but I'm a little partial towards that Dodge. I have two to rebuild one day......

im actualy going to mould to motor out of my new dukes 1/16 scale as well
i would like to do the fox dodge one day from running on empty and the 57 chev
