Legendary Model Car Builder Shows Us His Collection

[@andresperez8099]

I worked with Rick @ Auto Sunroof of Larchmont in New Rochelle, NY 96-97 prior to joining US Army. He gave me a parts model kit (69 Chevelle Amt light brown). Always a nice guy. What a coincidence browsing through YT to see him.

[@TheArcticGiantWalks]

Scale model builders are some of the most humble people 🎉they just zone out in their own world and create art before their own eyes

[@NathanHassall]

I couldent agree with you more. I actually spent 3 years in Prison for armed robbery and my cellmate was also a scale model builder...he told me how he once ate the brains of his landlord for doubting how humble he was. Model cars are cool either way.

Boy does this bring back good memories, thanks for posting. From about 6 to 16 years old, I was building & customizing my model cars (99% drag racing vehicles, along with a few specialty cars like The Red Baron, The Beer Hauler, etc). I chopped roofs, made a topless Camaro and Vette...when that was a craze in the mid 60's, experimented with all types of metal flake paints & custom paint jobs, and asked Mom for red & black thread (for sparkplug wires). I was also into building model rockets at the time...and spent nearly all my time & allowance at the hobby shop in West Covina (San Gabriel Valley, in the greater LA area). I used the parts trees to fashion a crude Christmas tree...and made a timing tower from cardboard, that replicated the one at Pomona (as my Dad got comp tickets each year, to the WinterNationals). I would set these out on the long benchseat my grandfather built for me, below my bedroom windows, and hold drag races between my dragsters and funny cars (yes, complete with sounds...🤣🤣🤣). Having been bitten hard, by the drag racing bug since my first race attended (Irwindale Raceway, 1964), I've been drag racing 1:1 scale cars, since being licensed to drive in 74'.

[@reptileguy8458]

Sooo much respect for this guy. It takes ALOT of creativity to build these models the way he does. People don't understand that. Building plastic car models is relaxing. To me it is anyway.

[@dalemettee1147]

Doug, an update. The compressor is done. Adding a reserve tank was a little more complicated than I thought but it is done. Now hooking up the airbrush hose confounded me. The threaded end would not match the output fitting on the compressor. Come to find out, the compressor threaded tube is 1/8" NPT. The air brush hose is 1/8" metric. No wonder I had a problem. The adapter is ordered. Now, back to adding LED lighting to the spray booth. You guys are the best.

I live in toledo I'm a full-time model builder I mostly work on ww2 aircraft and armor and big truck 18 wheelers .I can't believe I never seen a model show in toledo Ohio. I just started watching your videos good job keep up the great work are you on Facebook

[@MileyonDisney]

8:38 - I see the '29 Ford/Ala Kart model kit, which was my first kit, probably around 1967(?). I mostly remember building the Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth cars. My dad built [full-size] custom cars. After his stroke, he turned to customizing model cars. When he died, his house was FULL of them.

[@marcelmallory2761]

Started building models in the early '70s. I got out of it when I left home and went into the Army. No idea what happened to all of the cars that I built, think my folks chucked them when they turned my room into a den! Lol.... Really enjoyed building them, put me into a calm place and satisfied my slight OCD. My daughter recently bought for me a Ford Bronco model kit to build to match my 72 Bronco. Will have to get on it. We'll see how it goes!

[@edbouman5013]

Steve just wanted to say thank you for posting this video of Rick Hanmore's collection of models. I have watched this particular video about 8 times, because it brings back so many memories when I was a kid back in the late 50s and early 60s. Rick has some awesome models, and I remember so many if them from the 1960s, especially the little red Hotrod with the Wolf on the driver's door, and I think I heard Rick say the sold for 49 cents. I had that model, but totally forgot about it until I had seen this video for the first time. You have no idea how it makes me feel at my age of 69 to go back and see the models I loved as a kid, and now I try to buy up old ones that really stood out in my mind. I have been back building models since I retired about 6 years ago. I now have about 8 models that were already built back then, and now need rebuilding, and the one I am working on right now is the Big-T, and next will be the 1964 Little-T. Thanks again for posting this video, and tell Rick my hat is off to him for his 60 years of dedication to the hobby. I hope you can do more videos like this one and take us back down memory lane, and a much better time in life!

[@donaldwallace1525]

What a nice visit. I noticed the Mountain Dew can with mag wheels and slicks sitting on the work bench, so cool. I grew up in the 60s and bought a model every week. I have a twin brother and we got an allowance of $1 ea per week. When we would get our $2 we ran downtown to Woolsworth and carefully selected our next build. We had enough birthdays to keep up stocked in glue and paint. What a great hobby and fun time spent with my brother. Regardless whether a person takes 4 months to build a model because of the detail they enjoy or if they build it just as it comes out of the box, modeling is fun relaxing and every father needs to share it with their children.

[@funken079]

Amazing collection with the history to go with it. Thanks

[@A_A_Ron001]

This took me back, I'm 37 and can definitively say that building models saved me from so much non sense growing up. My friends and I would have build-off's, then re-do them at least 3 times until we had enough money saved up for the next kits! I could get lost in your shop for days, had to keep stopping the video so I could check out other builds lol, excellent commitment to your craft sir.

I built model cars, trucks, ships, planes, when I was in my early teens, in like 72-75 or so.. won 3rd place in the washington state fair for a 1950 Ford Custom 2 dr hardtop I did in 73 was it?, baby blue, cragars, real nice, I have no idea what my parents did with all my models I had so many, boxes, and cars so forth.. my sister bought me the huge cutty sark model for christmas 73 or 74? I did that build in like 2 months, all the thread, cannon balls the works, I spent time on that one.. forget how many parts but it was a LOT, I was overwhelmed at first.. a little shy, but thought wont hurt trying so I did, I realized it was all about time not skill and went for it.. finished and it was GRANDE! then a 1/15th scale diamondback vette was a work of art, loved that vette, and I did a long hauler I used for my nascar hauler, I had a lot of MPC Nascars, MPC was always my fave.. anyone that offered pre-cut decals were a hit with me, they had the feathered edges and looked so good, if you have to cut decals out sand the edges to a taper before releasing them, then buff with light compound after pre clear stage.... they look so much better especially with clear over them.. yessir.. just one of many tips I developed back then out in the country, no books, no magazines all in my head.. I'd weld pieces together, you name it.. I got very good for the few years I was into it, bucked hay to make the money, whatever and hope I got em for my birthdays and so forth.. I had shelves up and everything on display, my desk was tidy and everything in their perspective boxes when I left home, not sure what they did with it all, I thought my mother said they went up in the attic, not sure if they are still there unbeknownst to the new owner of the home or what? yup, all my stuff left at home, fishing poles, crate bicycle, powered airplane and dragster, boy those were fun.. kept me going really when I was a kid, alone for the most, zero guidance of any sort, not sure how I squeaked by but I did.. I think it was my love for all things automotive and 2 wheeled, anything mechanical, planes trains and automobiles as they say, I really wanted an HO train set but never had one.. not sure there was ever a kid didn't want a train set back then, today it's all brainwashing items.. sad really, I learned so much building model cars, IN FACT, I was able to rebuild and entire car, engine and all with no education, learned from building models.. yup, my cousin and I got these model engine kits one year, he got the wankel, I got the V8, they were clear plastic and electrically operated, FULL scale kits had very single moving part, no ball bearings or like valve guides and seals so forth but the basics, cam, crank, lifters, rods all that stuff, valves were spring loaded and all the timing was correct, rubber belt over gears.. they even had little light bulbs for spark plugs that lit up on the power stroke.. that taught us both how the wankel and the V8 operated.. of course Ed knew more about the wankel than myself and I knew more about the V8, go figger right? lol, we built em together and from then on we knew exactly how a v8 worked and a wankel... the rest we just tore down carbs so forth and learned from haynes manuals what not.. I could break down, spec, and assemble a V8 at like what 14? maybe earlier? I forget actually, and did rebuild motors that young with other adults, inlines, boxers, so on so forth, today? lucky if a kid can drive a stick.. pretty sad, not my kid, no way.. mechanics are way too valuable at any age and even the uber wealthy know this, guys like Jay Leno, he knows it and knowledge keeps him from getting shammed and scammed.. automotive shops know in an instant by the way you talk and report the issue, what you know and do not know about cars, and that's where the fleecing begins, "here is someone totally naive, get out the work order, lets get paid!" and they take advantage of the naive over and over... teach your kids the basics, so they know what the warning sensor on a brake pad is for and what to do next, so on so forth.. car models and motor models will give your child a leg up and this kid will never forget all the terminology acquired when young, just helps, maybe he hears some rod noise, brings it into the shop, "can you check out the rod noise give me a quote", at that point they know you know and they do the job accordingly, bring it in and say "my car is making a strange noise"... oh boy, you pay for an entire rebuild you may not have needed, maybe a transmission as well? people need to STOP being so naive thinking things like "but we have agencies to monitor and look out for the public" yes we do, but they are corrupt as well, and it's just getting worse, learn to look out for yourselves people.. AND HAVE FUN IN WHATEVER YOU DO!!

I don't know why, as obvious as it seems now, but I had no idea people got this far into the weeds building model car kits. Just wow! That seems like the coolest guy in the world. One of those dudes who you meet, and just shut up, listen, and let the man tell you stories. I'd love to tour your museum in person sir. I'm legally blind. Hasn't stopped me from doing much in life. It does prevent me from the joy of driving a car though. I suppose that's why I'm completely infatuated with them. I've built models before, never anything even in the same stratosphere as this, but have had a few successes. When I was a boy they came out with these modern takes on slot cars. They were called "Record Breakers" and the deal was, you could customize the crap out of them. They were battery powered, and came in 2 main types. One would have 2 motors, and the other would have 3 AA batteries, so an extra. They also have the little wheels on the chassis to keep them in the track, and there'd be events come through town, where they'd set up a big track, have races, best in show, that sort of thing. Anyway, I discovered I could take the "Snap-Tite" kit body's and fairly easily get those to fit onto my cars, and they scaled perfect. I won a best in show for having a surprisingly well finished out 55 chevy, that I'd filled the entire shell of with a 3 AA battery pack, I'd somehow managed to concoct with solder and shrink tube, and not light myself up. I used the fast cars motors, in the 2 motor chassis, and it had 5 batteries. lmao. It fortunately was shown, before it raced, as when it hit the first decent angle turn on the track, it took to the sky heading for high orbit, but was stopped by this really unfriendly dad's head. I didn't stick around much longer, and didn't do much more customizing my record breakers. Ahh the 80's good times.
