I was asked to make a car hauler. Does anything look completely wrong?

I like the Soviet scrap iron idea even better.

Do you want a full diorama type base, a small square base with a few bits of grass, or a simple, clean, round wooden stand just to display the art? Any would work.

I am closing in on closing in the door jamb! Little by little. I am thinking epoxy putty and shaping for the final steps.

Man that is clean and beautiful! What a motor 🤩

Meng makes great kits. That a beauty!

You guys are great! Paddy, yeah, even though the door is a little wonky it DOES work. The next one will be better, but I feel good for pulling it off. Today's build time has been all over the map. I worked on the dash a bit. Foolish or not, I cut out the gauges because I wanted to encase them...

I wish I had access to everything! There are some items that the A4 guy uses that I would love to get but I can't even find online, much less stock. I DO have a lot of random stuff stocked that probably will never sell but I use a lot LOL.

A few more over the past week

What is this? Well, even though they don't hinge, I cut the seats apart to round the edges to get the "two piece'' look. I filled the bottom of the seat back with epoxy putty and the bottom of the seat bottom with styrene, then carved, filed, and rounded the edges to shape. The seatbelts will...

I tried to describe how I cut the glove box door but found one of the first attempts to show exactly.

Daaaannnnggg! Those eyes!

That means there is really no way to do it wrong! Cheater!

:popcorn Crazy cool. I hope you figure out the brakes. What a predicament!

It turned out WAY better than I had hoped LOL.

Glove compartment: I used thin steel plate to make the glove compartment cover, leaving a tab on each side that I bent inward then drilled to be a hinge. I drilled a hole in the plastic card that makes the glove box but realized it would be too flimsy for long term use so I shaped a piece of...

Brilliant freehand! Those metal finishes are beautifully done.

Definitely looks great! I love the angled mount. Looks like it is defying gravity. Well done all around!

Yep, yer right! I haven't even looked at them, just figured they would. I know almost nothing about cars LOL. Ok, here is where I am... The glove compartment is lined. I see a dent in the new metal door so I may make another. Still figuring out how to hinge but have an idea. The afore...
