mnagatani Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The Fiat Topolino is the current model being worked on. The hope is get this out next week. This will be a 1:8 and 1:12 print to be available. Images show the models side by side. I'll post up some WIP's soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'll for sure want one in 1/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnagatani Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not a problem. 1/25 available, but nothing in the 1:8 and 1:12. Keep an out out for some pics soon and thank for the heads up. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Is the stock version available in 1/25 scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnagatani Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not sure on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnagatani Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Some WIP on the 3d file of the Fiat. The exterior is about done with only the inner skin left to take care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'd love to have a stock one in 1/25-1/24th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 My question about weather this model was going to be available from you in stock form was because you chose to show both versions in one of your photos. That stock one would make a very neat thing to load onto the back of a flatbed truck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yes, you could sell a bunch of the stock ones because we've never seen it in the right scale! I'd be good for a 1/24 or 1/25 version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Are you working from dimensions, or eyeball?I'm sure you're aware that there are significant discrepancies between the lines of the actual car and your "drag" body...perfectly acceptable for a model that's supposed to represent something like a one-piece fiberglass copy for racing...not acceptable for a model of the stock body.

Im taking the stock dimensions and keeping some stock body lines, but taking liberty to make it for a "Drag" body. I have no intentions to represent this as a stock car. My whole intention was to get this out for the big scale guys and let them create the chassis and drive-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock version I am not planning to make only the drag version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Austin Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I also would love a stock body in 1/25 scale. Was searching for one last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am sure the stock version would have limited sales appeal to most builders so your decision is understandable. Thanks for what you Are offering. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification, as that's exactly what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
