From the Shelf: Revell 1929 Model A Roadster

Take a behind the scenes look at how I built this Revell 1929 Model A Roadster. Almost 5 years in the making, I explain some of its unique features and how they were created.

[@KenLibertore]

You are on a whole different level in model building. By far one of the best I've ever seen. Beautiful.

[@timkustom]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelricks1618]

That's an amazing build - it looks stunning from every direction. I love the way you used well presented, sharp, clear photos to Illustrate your story. A top-notch presentation all round! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@timkustom]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimmyYa0]

Absolutely amazing

[@carlkandetzki9077]

Wow such a beautiful piece of art

[@timkustom]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Sweet builds, just came across your channel the other day, great stuff!

[@marcmd54]

I can't believe I am just now discovering your channel. It's great !!! Your '29 was definitely one of my favorites at GSLMCC. Fantastic model and video.

[@timkustom]

Thanks Marc! Glad you found the channel. Have much more planned for it.

[@sandykonigsberg1087]

Your usual beautiful build quality

[@MODELMIND72]

Beautiful '29 brother Tim.

[@HotrodzModelShop465]

WOW, that is a beautiful model!!!

[@timkustom]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Leadfootkurtis]

Super awesome ideas, I did a suicide front end on my 29 and the geometry of the old front ends was kind of crazy. I’m super impressed with your 29. Awesome craftsmanship.

[@timkustom]

Thanks! I wanted it to have the illusion that everything would function if is was a 1:1 car.

[@Leadfootkurtis]

@@timkustom that’s what I try to do, like it’s built in a backyard garage. Really dig what you build and would love to see more.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Wow! That's so cool!

[@kevinsmith7697]

SICK!!! Love the Duvall windshield! Not to mention that color! Plan on showing your black T-bird, that one is my favorite of your builds! Think that one was in S A E? Thanks for sharing Tim! 😎✌️🫡🇺🇸

[@timkustom]

Wow! You remember that one. Time has not been kind to that one. Perhaps a restoration video in the future? I've even considered building another one. Hmmm.

[@crazypainter56]

love that color-----

[@marsgarage8217]

Nice roadster.. Thanks for sharing..

[@stevecourtneyscalekustomz2602]

Top notch build

[@tomkendall4079]

Awesome build Tim. Nice research you did. It amazed me how many of these parts I have in my parts boxes that I inherited from my buddy's estate. He must have had a similar idea. I think the only things I don't have are the wheels, the headlight lenses, and a few engine parts.

[@timkustom]

Thanks! Put your buddy's parts to use and build one. They are fun!

[@doozersmodels3193]

Great looking build… build on 👍

[@felixculpa6240]

Beautiful Work, thanks for sharing. Last week a nice young man approached me at hobby lobby and asked if you could complete a model kit in a week. I was taken back but ended up answering "yeah, you could I guess" lol I didn't want to scare him away from getting into the hobby but obviously taking time to thoughtfully prepare and do everything top notch is going to take much longer.

[@timkustom]

Thanks for the comment. I think you gave that young man a totally appropriate answer. While this model did take years, I've built nice models in a week some even in less than 24hrs. How long does it take to build a model will be one of my future topics. Stay tuned!

[@oneteamgarage]

Absolutely amazing! 🔥💯💪🏾👀👀🙌🏾😱

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

[@theintake8961]

Awesome roadster Tim! All of your research and mods created a sweet ride. Thanks for the video 😎👍

[@baronvontaytoe]

Nothing but praise, all the way from Tasmania! (Yes it's a real location) Rapidly becoming my favourite scale auto chanel! Reviewing more of your fabulous builds will make sure if that!

[@timkustom]

Wow! Thanks, have lots more planned. Stay tuned. Do those devils really spin around? 😄

[@jameslarosa2396]

[@linkpoison5511]

Nice build!! Just subscribed.

[@timkustom]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Builtbyronny]

👍

[@HayAuto]

I love this build! More hot rods need Offys! Sad that company is out of business.

[@timkustom]

Thanks! I like putting unconventional engines in unlikely places. This one was fun!

[@Aces_Eights_Scale_Vision]

Great build Tim! When you say a 10" kick up is that 1/25 scale converted into 10.16mm? And is that the total length of that kick up piece or did you add the height of the frame to that? Sorry, new to scratch building and trying to figure out how all these dimensions are made.

[@timkustom]

The kick up piece is about 10mm. The rear crossmember for the buggy spring drops it back down a little. Before deciding the kick up, I placed the axle/spring/crossmember where I wanted it in relation to the body, then "filled in the blank" to decide the frame kick up. HTH, and thanks for watching!

[@user-uy6hc5vc9f]

Great! are there 1:12 scale kits for the same?

[@timkustom]

Unsure of a 1/12 scale. There is a 1/16 scale body from Minicraft. You would be on your own for the rest.
