New Kid in Town

Walt Urban

Walt Urban Just finished this early Hemi roadster from a collection of parts. The model nicely represents its era. We love the engine turning on the flash shield and the grille insert! Walt dedicated the model to the SLM for thehelp he recieved from several members in keeping it period correct (Note the markings in the inset). No thanks needed, Walt--we're always glad to help! Very nice work, indeed!

 

Jim Polli
Jim Polli used Speed City Resin's longnose Mustang to build this replica of the Holman-Moody "Batcar".

Jesse Chavez

Jesse Chavez built this Wilshire Shaker from a Rat Packer "Just to get something done." The Rat Packer done up in these markings looks just bitchin'! Nice work, jesse!

Jack Martin& Mike Pringle

Jack and Mike have teamed up on a 1/16th scale replica of a fellow Kiwi's digger. Jack did the engine work and Mike handled the chassis and body chores--just like the old days!Below is a photo of the real car. Jack shared his technique for doing the puke lines (which look bitchin'!); it's on the engine tips page. Click the lower image for a .pdf file of their model in New Zealand Rodder magazine(You'll need Adobe Reader) .All we can say is "Nice job, mates!"

 

Bud Lefevre

Yes, it's true! Not only did he win Best Competition, not only did he win Best Automotive, but our own Bud Lefevre beat them all and won BEST OF SHOW at the Mid-Michigan Model Makers 20th Annual Model Show in Bay City, Michigan with his 1966 Chevy Nova 'L' Automatic Super Stocker! Congratulations, Bud!
