Welcome aboard Ted, good to see you over here too.

WARNING

You all better be prepared to get your socks knocked off when you see Teds work..... you have been warned!

(although he should have left that Metro Delivery in the raw. )

That works! I think it fits in nicely with all the other Shakers posted

woww. i love this car with some whack effect. can you do that thorr.

No whacks ..... in the competitions, a "mild" custom is not allowed any changes to the casting, only paint and wheel change.

Thanks guys.

It may not be very colourful, but black and white is very high contrast and can have a big impact, and I think it worked well on this one.

Thanks guys.... glad you like the paint job....

I'll stay right away from any comments that have "fangula" and "rubber" in the same sentence

Nice job, colours look really good together

I think the guys would love to have the Reventon and FTE Batmobile...rest are basic repaints etc...

Ok, ok.....Raymond figured out what I'm up to
I will be at Amcorp on August 22nd and will bring with me some cars that you may have had trouble finding, that's why I started this topic. When I have found enough cars, I'll start a topic in "trades" section.
I am still out looking for cars to take, but so far I have not found any Reventions, but I'll keep looking...... I have a Batmobile, GT Races (looks like tampo variation too, on is yellow, one almost orange), blue R32, some 2008 first edition EVOs, might even bring some of my green/yellow DDs if someone need one , anyways... more on all this later

This was my "mild" entry for the April "4x4 mudder" themed "Battle of The Kustomizers" competition at the corner.

When the votes had been cast, it won 1st place in the Mild category.

I did it up as rough old beater, with the paint all scratched up, one door from the wreckers and some cheapy screw-on flares, and then it got dirty!

Cast: Custom Ford Bronco
Wheels: Matchbox
Detailing: "BRONCO 4X4" stripe decal for the white door, foiled lights and grill





















Thanks for looking.

ICEBREAKER is a 56 Ford Panel I built as my entry for the 4x4 themed April 2010 competition at Creepsters.

When the votes were counted, it tied for 1st.

It's pretty much a "Mild" build since the casting was not modified, it just sits on a different base.
The black & white paint job was masked to make it look like it was covered in ice that was shattering and breaking up.

Cast: HW 56 Ford
Chassis: Matchbox MBX 4x4
Wheels: HW
Paint: Masked black & white, homemade "Icebreaker" decals, foil trim, detailed tail lights and indicators.















Thanks for looking.

This was my "mild" class entry for the March/April competition on the ECHWC board.
The comp was limited to 2 castings - GHOST BUSTERS ECTO-1 and the FANGULA, and as you can see, I chose the Fangula.

It won 1st place in the mild category, against some excelent entries.

This casting may be small, but it had big potential - the classic showrod bodywork just screams out for all sorts of crazy and colourful paintjobs.
I lost count of how many time I tested different wheels on this one, but it was worth it as I'm still happy with my final choice.

Casting: HW Fangula
Paint: Lime candy front and flames and red candy over silver marbeling over a black base for the back, radiator and tunnelram painted silver, polished intake.
Wheels: Maisto
Detailing: removed paint on valvecovers, foiled headlights, painted taillights










Thanks for looking

Great job

it is almost like... if you can't find a Convoy Custom, make your own from a Bone Shaker

Thanks for all the nice feedback, glad you like it.

wow.. how to make tampo like that?

I bought waterslide decal paper on eBay and printed on my inkjet printer

Sooo.... does anyone know what was in the 49 Merc Wave

My first kustom of one of my favorite castings... the BONE SHAKER

I did this one for a "public service vehicles" competition over on the island.

A week after submitting the pictures the competition was cancelled due to lack of interest... unlike previous competitions, only 2 entries were received.

I just love how this one turned out, especially how the wheels suit the theme so well, the only thing I would change would be to paint the inside black instead of silver.

Casting - HW Bone Shaker
Wheels - Jada










Thanks for looking.

Hey guys.... I'd really like to know which of the 09 mainlines were hard to find in Malaysia, I'm wondering if it was different to here in Oz

64 and 71 Buick Riviera, Passin Gasser, 64 Lincoln, Manx Meyer and Bone Shaker for me

I agree, everyone did a great job on the Cadillac.

Mine is in heat 2.... "53 Dragillac by Thorrr"

Still no ultra hots at my TRU.... only Garage at AU$9.99 and delivery at AU$7.99....too much for me, just hope my TRU gets the UH as well......

Oh boy, such awesome custom work!

Thorrr, your car is fantastic!

Thank you....

I wanted to do more detailing, but I ran out of time, like I always do

Oops......Hobby Talk Custom forum

Just a quick heads-up..

If any of you are members over at Hobby Talk, don't forget to vote in the 2010 HOBBY TALK KUSTOM KONTEST, some really nice work in there, so vote for the one you like the most.

30 entries, so if nothing else, it's worth having a look at what 20 different people did with the same casting: the 53 Cadillac.
