"Odd Ball Racing" - part B

Very cool build, you do this rusting bizzo so well mate.

Here's an update, I really wanted to add a period style sun-visor to this so I made one up from styrene, pins & 1/25th spanners. It took way to long but looks the part from what I've seen, lights and grill are from the full detail kit and front badge from the snapper! Front seat is also complete and running a mexican blanket cut from the 1/8th '32.

Looking great Paul, love the weathering job

Awesome job on weathering the chev Paul That mesican blanket is awesome

well done on the viser mate and nice thinking on the blanket she is really looking the part now mate well done

Killer job mate, awesome

Not a great deal of progress this week, but I have scribbled some signage on the doors!!



I've also started a car trailer for this one and will load up a racer in the near future.

This Chev is awesome Paul!! Great weathering and he trailer idea is kewl

...you trying to make fluro-rust???

you guys crack me up dont tempt him hell probly make it glow in the dark

nice job on the signige and cant wait to c her pulling the trailer aswell
question thow is the racer gunna be new or old and rusty too?

I'm thinking the racer will have to be fairly well presented, cause that's where all the Team budget goes - still can't decide what to build for it though I'm figuring something weird

How about an old Midget Speedway car??????

Flouro rust?
Funny you should ask.
I'm learning the basics of rusting by trying varioous things out on Pigbog the Fodebalet.

that looks so wild Paul,wheels need a bit of weathering on them to shiny.

The Chev's old Allan, not the wheels...........ya can't expect the poor bloke to be driving around on 60 year old tyres now can ya??

Is this where the 50 Chev that I gave you ended up Paul?

Bits of it yeah!!

Looking great Paul, awesome work so far.

Part B - the trailer is about 85% done so here's how it's looking,



I've also got a helper for a few weeks as Jackson is visiting from Canada as part of his Modellers tour of the globe, expect to see a bit of this guy around here during his stay. He will be at the Ballarat NNL also so don't forget to say g'day to him if your there!!



Jackson thought this racer just may be odd enough to belong in the trio...........anyone agree with him??

looks like it was made for it mate , nah seriously it looks great

Yep , all three fit together perfectly . Any other pics of the rod or a link to it's build ?
