Resin 1940s and 1950s vehicle kits

[Lemosteam]

Any plans on doing some hot rods?  T buckets, Convertibles, etc?  I want to make a rod shop on my layout and have struck out.

How about a 1954 Oldsmobile "Rocket 98"?
@ChristianJDavis1  needs an N-scale version of his car.

That would be neat. I would definitely buy one, but it has to match mine; four door sedan.

I voted again, with my wallet
At four bucks a pop, these are a great deal.
Thanks Brian!

John, what specific convertible are you looking for??  I don't think I could make a good T- bucket.  They have too many thin sections that I cannot duplicate.

GHQ makes a nice looking Model A that could be kitbashed into a hot rod.  They also offer a 1940 Ford coupe.

Llooks like all of these have interiors, so a convertible might be fairly easy to kitbash from your models, even a chop top 49 merc would be cool.  Too bad on the t bucket- they were so plentiful in the 50's and a fave.  Maybe an etching for the chassis or wire.  but if you could cast the rest well....  Yes I have my eye on to GHQ model a's, but they are solid so making a convertible hot rod out of them might be tough.  Also the baby moon wheels/tires were so common.

Thanks for considering!

Lineside Models has a few resin hot rod kits as well as convertibles.

Finally, a real 1/160 scale '50s era Studebaker truck! Nice going Brian!

Now we can finally retire that 1/121 scale UNS Stude.

Man, it takes some serious dedication to do all this shrinking!  Plus making the bodies hollow with separate frame/interior.  I remember the hmble beginning where Rasputin doubted that he could swing that.   You have come a long way baby!   

I'm going to have to sent in an order for cars from this (and last run too).

Would you ever consider doing a 1937 Packard or 1937-9 IH D-2 Pickup? (N or HO)

Also, would you entertain the idea of doing these in 1/87 as well? I'd 100% purchase multiples of both models if they were in HO. 

[Rasputen]

Seven of my latest offerings are based on HO scale vehicles.   Some of them are solid in their HO form, but it is pretty straight forward to make a hollow one from a solid model.  Messy, but straight forward.

I just received twelve of Brian's latest resin car kits, the 1940's vintage Nash, Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, and early 1950's Cadillac.

These are exactly what I've been wanting!

Beautifully detailed, perfectly proportioned, almost flawlessly cast, and outstanding choices all around. They even sit properly on their chassis and look really good when assembled. And just the right amount of interior detailing, too.

They represent the typical 1940's, early 1950's family cars used by working men all over the USA in the transition era. All would look good in used car lots, factory parking lots, and small farm towns from the 1950's through 1960's. And the early 1950's Cadillac is a great bonus, too. They will be real stars when I'm done with them. Chrome and more chrome.

I LOVE these castings - the grillwork on their fronts is especially well done.

I'll still be in the market for at least four 1940's Chevy Fleetline fastbacks if and when you ever find a way to make them.

Well done, Brian!!!
