Skoda Favorit by Smer

I have a facination with these eastern block cars so when I found this kit on Ebay I knew I had to have it. The kit is very basic about 20 parts at most. The kit is by a Czech company called Smer. The kit is 1/28 scale but looks close enough to 1/24 to me and it's not likely there is another kit out there of this subject?? The paint is John deere green with rust done with Triangle Crafts Sophisticated Finishes.

Toyota Hiace Caterpillar Service Van

This Kit started out as a right hand drive Tamiya Toyota Hiace Van. I converted the steering over to left hand drive by cutting the dash in half, and rebuilding it. I also changed out the mirrors added them from the Open Road camper kit. The interior from the seat back id all scratch built. There is a ton of cab junk so take a look.

Johan Cadillac Coroner Vehicle

This is the Johan Cadillac Ambulance I converted over to a Coroner Car. I build this right out of the box. Only thing I added was the 2 body bags. This is actually the first kit I ever used Bare Metal Foil on I figured if I can pull off a Bare Metal Foil job on a car with this much chrome I can do any vehicle. The body bags are made with a cut up garbage bag wrapped around modelers clay.

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

Trans Am Wagon Fast Response Track Rescue

I know what your thinking Trans am wagon ambulance What is he thinking??? Well her is a bit of a back story. In the late 90's my father and I used to go to the IMSA Palm Beach grand prix in West Palm Beach Florida. There used to be a fast response ambulance at the track it was actually a Porsche 928. Unfortunately I cannot find any pictures of it only thing I remember is there was a custom built stretcher built into the back of the car. When I saw this old
Airfix kit on eBay I new what I had to build. The kit is built straight out of the box I added the light bar and the medical stuff from the parts bin. The decals I made on a alps printer.

1969 Pontiac GTO Dirt track racer

This is a Revell 69 Pontiac GTO dirt track racer. I added a role cage from a old Nascar kit and with very little modification it fit like a glove. To add some racing miles to it I dirted up the car with pastel chalk and added some race damage.
