1929 RPU

[oldhermit]

I know I havn't been active here but thats because I haven't been active modeling either.
It's been real slow getting motivated on anything lately but I have started a 1/8 scale rustbucket '29 RPU.

I started with a resin 29 cowl and a Big T body ...



added a Big T bed and some rust ...



I cut the spring off the axel and moved it back on the radius rods to lengthen the wheel base and lower the front end ...



after Zing the frame I had to remove the bed floor to clear ...



some JC Whitney wire hubcaps ...



might do a vertible roof ...



a couple of mock ups ...





it will have a four banger as soon as my friend Ralph finishes mastering it.



I'll try to update as I get stuff done. Thanks for looking.

Wow ! that's awsome.
Wire hubcaps over steelies! how cool is that?
Are those an aftermarket item?

[oldhermit]

Thanks guys.
No Geezer, they are the front half of wire wheels from a Lindberg kit.
The rear halves were totally fubar so I thought why not just hubcaps.

What better way to create a wooden skeleton than with real wood aged with a black wash.
