    Thanks, glad you liked it! The videographer used a basic DSLR, Fuji, sometimes on a tripod, sometimes hand-held.

    I like how seriously you guys take this hobby too. I just built my first model, I'm 74 years old and should have started with an easier project. It looks okay on a high-shelf 🤫

    There’s nothing like hearing from someone who owns the 1:1 vehicle exactly which kit parts are the most accurate. I’d love to see more detail on how that hood hinge mechanism operates.

  • @charlenebutterfield5280
    @charlenebutterfield52802 күн бұрын

    Take a look at the design of a real 56 ford pickup hinge. On the model, the top rod of the hinge is attached to the hood and pivots at the side of the fire wall just like the 1:1 hinge would . The lower rod on the model attaches to the hood like it would on the 1:1 truck. This rod is made about twice as long (in scale) as the bottom rod of the real hinge. On the side of the fire wall below where the top rod is attached is a pin that is sticking out about 1 mm. The long lower rod has a notch in it that falls on to the pin when the hood opens. To shut the hood the model is turned over and the lower rod falls away from the pin and as the hood closes the back half of the lower rod goes into a slot beside the fender at the cowl. the lower rod slides between the outside of the pickup cab and the kick panel in the interior. the hinge rods were made out of aluminum sheet. There you have it.

    Hey, I have a good question. Would you have any ideas on where would most states would have an appraisal for small scale Models cars only? Because of that, I have a few very older models of cars that my Dad's fathers did some small-scale models cars from the early years of the 20s or so. I would wonder if possible that you have an email address for people like me able to send you pictures of their models' cars. If so, where us people would be able to find it. On your KZread video clip.?

  • @ModelCarMuse
    @ModelCarMuse4 күн бұрын

    Thanks! I always cut the “handle” off so I can make room for the engine and radiator. I have not gone farther on this model yet, but when I do the grille will look like the finished grille I popped out of the Dodge in the video.

    The midget is looking great!! Great idea for the BMF! Once you get the engine wired, people will not notice the slightly off-centered plug holes! I like your idea about the bolts around the seat....should look good! I follow Doug Whyte's 'Model Car Muse' YT channel. He just posted a video about how to make grills....it's a pretty cool process!

    Go with the canoe. You'll need a rack made of a pair of oak boards 1.5x2.5 inches, mounted about 3 inches above the roof. Soon I'll be trecking my 17 foot cedar strip canoe on top of my '27 Model A woody. It's a wow, trust me!

  • @ModelCarMuse

    I didn’t get to doing it in this video but eventually the “handle” part gets cut off. The track nose I made in the tutorial will eventually look like the one in the primered Dodge I popped out at the beginning of the video to show the ring surround. I am planning to put an engine in the Dodge. The grille on the C2 Corvette Custom was made the same way, and still has the bolts in it, and is in front of the engine. You can see how it was made in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qa1oxKWvndHUhLA.html.
