American Muscle..70 BALDWIN..9 pics

Hi guys, just completed my All Time favourite Dream car. I'm old enough to remember these as a kid, old magazines feature stories anyway,:) What I wouldn't give to own one, I guess this'll do:(
Quarter mile in a tad over 11 sec., and this was back in 1970 :eek:
I tried to make it as close to genuine as possible, found the "scatter shield/bellhousing" from an old drag kit, sidepipes are aluminium tube, couple of P/E bits here and there, battery box in boot is only deviation from genuine I think..:)
Anyway, kick back, hope you enjoy :)

Awesome model Stump! Are you taking that to Grafton?. If you do you will definitely give PhaseV a run.

FANTASTIC!! :jumpie:
Great finish with nice detail work on engine bay. I love it!

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: thats all i can say

Excellent job!

Thanks guys, I'm pretty pleased with it..:)

Nobbys Nuts, I hope its good enough for Grafton, bit disappointed :( with dash/windscreen fitment....absolute b#%^*? to get it right. Trimmed heaps off the dash, :mad: doesn't show in these pics :)

cheers, see you in Graf ..........?

Wow looks great! You put alot of detail work into these models stump! Lets see some more!

WOW, WOW... and... WOW!!! It looks fantastic, the paint shines, teh engine is detailed, it has style, beautiful!!!!

2 questions:

Are the wheels fixed?

Tad over 11's, is that stock or is that what it's cabable of???


Agian, it's very good work :)

Just like what Frank in Everybody luvs Ramond said, "HOLY CRAP!"
:eek: :eek: :eek:
STUNNING PIECE OF ART

:eek: Absolutely gorgeus! Beautiful work.

-Pille-

No unfortunately I am working so might be limited to making a dash to Coolangatta for the Wintersun Parades. Good luck.

Hey dude, pics look fantastic. The pipes come up a treat.;) ;)
cheers B :ylsuper

That car is just absolutely fantastic !
The engine detail is sooooo realistic and the interior looks, well like the real thing!
Do I have to add I like it ?

Olivier

Very nice! I love the engine detail, not too over crowded, but enough wires to make it look real :eek:

im not usually a fan of muscle cars, but wow that looks sweet...

some guy on my street has one of those, in blue

Absolutely stunning! :D

Doesn't get much better than that. Great build.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

That is very very very cool, great shine

integra818, I made the front wheels poseable, L/R, and back in 1970 if you asked these guys (Baldwin Motion) for an 11 sec car, they delivered.Pretty awsome..........and that was off the "showroom floor"


cheers stump:devil: :devil:

good F***ing job man!!!
I love the paint. How did you get that small pinstripe so nice ? was it just masked off? looks hard to do.

*sees pictures*>>>>>*jaw drops to floor*>>>>*bows downin awe of beautiful model*>>>>>repeats.:cool: :cool: :cool:

That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of work - an overall 'package'!!!

awesome details, awesome wiring, awesome paint job!!!!

The PMan is in love :eek: :eek:

Thanks everyone for your possitive thoughts :o
I'm quite pleased how it turned out.........

Kerbie, the stripes were probabley the toughest I've encounted, they took a couple of goes and a colour change, was to be green (as on the box) but I'm pleased with the blue (TS50).The stripes were masked off, not real well at the points...:o

Pman, thanks for the offer, aren't you married ?........J/K
Sorry mate, appreciate the praise from someone as gifted as you in modelling, I love your work :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:

cheers stump
