AMT '32 Vicky. This was my first attempt at a Rat Rod. I built it from a swap meet gluebomb about 12 years ago.
I threw all I had at it, the best of my imagination and scratch building skills, and it made it into an Aussie modelling mag as well.       Thanks for looking in. TJ |

Went to a big car show a few years ago and every other car there looked just like that! Your imagination is bang on reality around here.

Man, that looks super cool. Very uncomfortable to ride in, but super cool. Awesome build.

Looks fantastic! If it was a rat rod at a show around here you would need to include a mandatory cooler of beer next to it.

It most certainly does look like you threw everything you had at this one Tim. Extremely well carried out worn effects and LOTS of eye candy in terms of detailing. Those wheels and tires set the whole thing off perfectly too. Very well built and VERY cool!!  |

Cheers Mark. That is actual wood too, it's model ship Bass wood strips.
I like the idea of using different mediums in models, so the best thing to use is real wood, and things like the aluminium tail light surrounds too.
Cheers TJ

That is...TOO KOOL for SKOOL. The suicide front axle. The pistons/con rods for a bumper. Everything you did is bang on. That's one hot little Vicky!!!
Oops! Almost forgot the full boat Flatty!!! Awesome!!!!

I agree with everyone above!! Great work on a very believable rat rod. Great rat exterior, the flatty, the cool random bits like the bumper make it look like it’s right out of a rat rod show. Awesome job!!
