RMS Stocker ready for battle!

Postby dreinecke » Sun Apr 10, 2016 2:36 pm

My only 1/24th car is a 1965 Corvette on an H&R chassis - well, knowing it would look a little silly running against Shotgun's fabulous Ford and the awesome cars Pickles put together I decided it was time for a change.

Enter a glue bomb I built as a teen. What started as a 1969 Chevelle was changed to a 1968 thanks to my friend Shawn casting the correct flat hood, tail panel and grille and bumper. I still used the '69 rear bumper as the '68 has gone missing...but I digress.

Not a great build by my standards, but knowing how hard these guys all race at HRW, not an issue...I ahem, "re-enforced" several area with hot glue.

The decals were 25+ years old and since I just decided to do this the other day I had no time to get others - so they cracked no matter what I did lol.

No matter, I'm happy to have a Chevelle to run and hope I can just keep the field behind me!

Bring it on!!!

Very cool, Dave. Has this one been to Germany like your 1:1? Not a big stock car guy but I like this one. Cracked decals? :think: Didn't see it.

Glad you like it - notice I didn't do any close-ups ;)

Rob - I like car colors from the '60's and '70's. I'm weird that way. At the Chevellebration a few years ago I was the guy geeking out over the odd green colors. Don't see many any more as people painted them "cooler" colors.

TsgtRet - it HAS been to Germany, just like my 1:1 - good call!

Nice Doc. It should be able to throw its weight around.
Good Luck

I'm glad to see this one come to the top again. What are those paints, David? I think I have the hood right with Testors Phoenician yellow, but what is that baby sh*t brown color? I want to use it. My in-laws had a Malibu in that color in the 80s.
