spotarama Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 this started off as a die-cast promo toy from a local hardware chain, i pulled it apart and added a set od AMG wheels and slicks on the back, a nascar racing seat, alloy 'moon' pedals, hydraulic mast levers made from pins, air horns, an orange dome light (safety first) and a set of V8 header pipes from a snaptite nascar kit. a quick coat of oxide yellow primer and a couple of 'serial number' decals and you've got the sort of forklift that anyone of us would love to get paid to drive. if i did it again, i think i'd do a much more 'race car' roll cage and possibly race drilled forks....... i also made the pallets from balsa, perfect little 1/24th replicas of real ones that we use at work. theres a couple of scooters there too, a Honda Jazz (from memory) and a Vespa Primavera. can't remember where the Honda came from but the Vespa was in a Tamiya set called 'college friends' what do people think ?
