He came up with this one while working on his current project: a 1932 Ford street rod. We'll let Chris take it from here:
"As I sat at the bench finishing up the front end, I wanted to add a 'final touch' detail to make it really pop. |  | |
"I already knew I was going to drill some vent holes in the backing plates, but then I thought about adding scoops on the backing plates to help force out heat and dust that are typical with drum brakes.
"Looking no further than inside the box, I zeroed in on the box‑stock street‑rod valve covers. I cut them to size, filed them to shape for a classic 'scoop' appearance, brushed on some red paint and Testor's Dullcote, and attached them to the backing plate.
"The old‑style tooling of this kit gave the ends of the valve covers a nice vintage shape that enhances the model's "period" look. That was a piece of good luck; there's no way that modern square‑corner valve covers would have looked as good in this application." | | | | | | | |
| | From the Savage Garage | Autoart's Mercedes‑AMG GT3 (presentation car)
Some cars are sexy, some are nasty, some are fast. The Mercedes‑AMG GT3 racer is all of the above, a lawn dart of an automobile with a long nose and a monster rear wing. Looks like it could nail any competitor to the pavement.
Autoart creates a beautiful 1/18 scale version of the GT3 racer as it was presented to the media a couple years back in a gorgeous matte metallic gray paint scheme with yellow racing stripes and a No. 1 on each door. Who's to argue with that! | | | | | |
