Alyn Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Here's some pics of a Model-T chassis I've been working on for a few months. It was started from the AMT Double-T kit, with lots of brass, aluminum and styrene scratch built parts added. The front axle was modified for working steering with brass knuckles, tie rod and drag link. Steering column is an aluminum tube the the brass steering shaft inside, along with brass spark and throttle controls. The battery, muffler and running board bracing were also hand made as were many engine details. This will eventually be part of a Model-T tow truck. Edited April 15, 2013 by Alyn 1
Alyn Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Thank you, Bob. I finished this one up not too long ago and finally got some finished photos suitable for posting scratch built lift boom and related gear, faux painted wooden spokes using artist oils hand made brass radiator cap w/site glass weather worn leather seat, wooden floor and spark box, all dash and door latch, steering etc scratch built. Real glass windshield thanks for checking in :) 1
ewahl Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 I am wildly impressed! You list scratchbuilding as one of your specialties. You did yourself proud with this project. Excellent finish on the paint job. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. Ed
VonL Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 This is a really super piece of modeling. Please do consider getting it to the Nats, so we can see it in person.
Alyn Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks to you both for the great compliments. I do hope to have this at in Loveland if the money holds out and work permits a few days off. Colorado is within striking distance of the KC area.
GaryDavis Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) What a GREAT job on this build Thomas! I didn't see it at the NATS in Colorado. If you had it there and I missed it...I will be really disappointed. I think this build would've done well there. Thank you for sharing here on the Forum. Edited September 5, 2013 by GaryDavis
Speedster Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 I this at the Nats, I thought you did a wonderful job!
MahyDay Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Love to know the details on the boom & other extras on the rear. Looks period perfect!
