Hi!

Due to some problems with my buddy´s Imageshack, he´s unable to upload the images I took on his models earlier today. Anyway, in the following pics you´ll see some of the models that S.P.Y.R.O has built during the years, some of them has got published in magazines and won prizes at several events.
His next project will be a quite extreme, "kick-ass rod" as he like to refer it to himself, in the ground it´s a 1/25 Revell Ford 3-Window Coupé ´32.
Well, enough talking, here are the pics, enjoy!

Making FWD cars RWD for drag is nothing new.

Nice work, thanks for sharing your friends work! How did he do the murals on the Eldorado? And which magazine published him? Tell him to sort his pic problems so we can see more!

nice work, a little advice would be to paint the trim, other than that they look great. I like the escalade, mini, and the 69 comaro the best.

Oh I´m sorry, offcourse it´s a chevy!!! Just that writing all that and putting up the images really pissed me of so I did´nt really look it through before posting.
As for how he did the murals, no idea, maybe the decals came in the kit?

[QUOTE=willimo]Making FWD cars RWD for drag is nothing new.

If that was the case then why are the exhausts at the front?

willimo
02-27-2005, 01:11 PM
Because the engine is in the front, maybe? Geez.
