Bugaboo - Kim from Denmark

[bugaboo]

And this is my Boot Hill Express, but I guess you`ve allready guessed that
When I built this one, I only had this one kit of it. There were some parts missing, so I know that at least the steering wheel, is not the original one. I dont remember if there are more not-original parts on it. Oh yes, the rear tires of course. Well, I now have 3 or 4 BHE kits, so I will replace the steering wheel with an original one....
The black paint actually cracked up a little bit on the rear end, but I am actually happy with that, it makes it look like its an old hearse, so I did`nt do anything about it....
This is actually one of the oldest - if not THE oldest - show rod build I have on the shelves...

My Outcast have a rear light from the Pie Wagon at the backside. I also fabricated the rear doors, and I moved back the engine a bit. Decals are from the old Monogram `39 Chevy panel delivery. Otherwise its box stock.
A classic C cab, as I like them

Not so good pictures of a not so good Royal Rail. But it is an original. I bought it off Ebay as a wreck, before the repop came out. It was missing 2 exhaust pipes, but I scratchbuilt those after the pics were taken. A lot of work went into this one, and then it became reissued. Well, thats okay. At least this is an original....

** NEW PICS **

The story of this Depth Charger, is ecentially the same story as on my Royal Rail.
Bought as an expencive wreck from Ebay, before the repop came out. It was also missing some parts, but a lot of work later, I had a decent Depth Charger. And then it got reissued...
Well, again, at least it is an original. And on the Depth Charger, there are actually an easy way to see, that it IS an original.
The "under the sea" decals in the windows are solid blue on the reissued kits, but as you can see, on the original the blue is see-through....

Royal Rod. It is quite obvious that it is a kitbash between a Royal Rail, and a Depth charger. An idea I had for a while. The name game contest got me building again, and I finished this as the first finished kit, in 2018.
The engine is for the most parts from a Bad Medicine. The grille is from my parts box, and I have no idea of its origin. Rear axle from a Lil Gasser, and wheels/tires from a couple of toy choppers.

Here are my rebuilt Bad Medicine, I call it Lethal Medicine....

I started by removing the rear fenders, and chopping/piecutting the top. I filled the space for the gastank on the front of the body. Then I removed the lump underneath the rear, where the wheelie bars are supposed to be mounted. I took the crossbones and skull and seperated the skull. I placed it on the front of the car. In the back I took another (bigger) skull, and used filler to blend them to the body.
I added a steering wheel and rebuilt the gear shifter, and then rebuilt the driver, to fit the steering wheel.
Engine is from a Boot Hill Express, injector stacks from the Beer Wagon, and the exhaust from the Tarantula. I made a gas filler cap and put it on the front end of the body.
The rear wheels and disc brakes are from a couple of old toy choppers.
I painted it using Motip automotive spraybombs, and the decals are from Firebird designs.
I allways loved the Bad Medicine design, and I am quite pleased wit the way this one turned out














Here you can see the car next to my box stock Bad Medicine

And this is my latest creation, the Monogram Quicksilver. One of my favorite kits, and its nice to have it on the shelves again.

Baja Beast - A little rebuilt

I rebuilt the side windows, the rear window, the rear light, and the exhaust. I filled in the opening piece in the roof, and also the space for the peace sign on the front. And I just found out I forgot to paint some black in the side scoops, better get that done

[bugaboo]

Well, this is one of my pride and joys... AMT`s Lil Roamin Chariot, of course, renovated.
Allways been one of my favorite show rods, but allmost impossible to find. So when I finally found this one, I was very happy.

One of my fav's too. In fact, I think you should get a package together for the guest gallery!

I will, thanks

Here are my take on Atlantis models reissue of the Tom Daniel Unreal Roller. A kit I wanted for many years, but could never afford it until the reissue. I opened the zoomies, drilled out the holes in the seat, and transferred the wheelie bars into a wheelie roller. Othewise box stock

[bugaboo]

Here are my latest build, the Monogram Cop out. It have allways been one of my favorite of the old Monogram kits.....
Its built basically box stock. I only added spark plug wires, and drilled out the exhaust pipes, and added some thin white lines beside the white wide racing lines down the middle of the car....
Its painted black (not bare plastic) and I had some trouble with the original decal on the left side. The big white "door" decal. I had to sand it down, and add an aftermarket decal. It turned out okay, I think

Here are my 1996 issue of Tom Daniels Groovy Grader. I replaced the handlebars with a steering wheel, and another thing thats allways bothered me about this model, is the backward turned air scoop. So I ditched that, and put an airfilter on the injection stacks instead.
Finally I did not put the "hood" ornament in place, because I`m planning on putting a fun little sctatchbuilt item there instead

[bugaboo]

Here are my take on the Sidewinder. It was built box stock, except for the red acetat i put in the sunroof, and I removed the so called "burnt copper" look on the chrome, to make it into ordinary chrome. Otherwise box stock. Paint is Tamiya TS-21 Gold, with Mr. Hobby Gloss Premium Topcoat.
