DeeCee Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I started with a resin Coe cab... and that was it !! Found a chassis from a GMC , which was modified and Z'ed. Made an interior, and slotted a 426 Hemi in there too, can't see the point in building a model with out an engine. The tray, i started with a pair of 32 rear fenders, ..... and scratch built EVERYTHING else. Wheels are from the S'cool bus kit, which were widened, and some pro street tyres added. THE BOAT, started as an F1 style outboard, but no outboard is going to work in my imagination, so out with the outboard, and in with the inboard. It started as one of the engines from the S'cool bus kit, and made everything above the block, including the scoop. Turbo's were made from some hydraulic olives and solder, and imagination... The whole package was covered in Candy Green and cream, with some red pin stripes on the boat. There was a LOT of scratch building , and bits from the spares box on this one . Hope you like this as much as i enjoyed stretching the imagination.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This combo is truly impressive. The overall paint finishes are super smooth and flow perfectly. As nice as the COE looks the Boat becomes the center of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Outstanding! It's been decades since I used a resin COE cab for a project, forgot who made it, but it needed massaging. Appreciate all the work, and the turbos, great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Love the creativity and execution here! The custom work and scratchbuilding is very cool (love those turbos--never knew those widgets were called "hydraulic olives" so I learned something new, thanks!) and the paint finish is great. In particular, I'm enjoying the red-tinted glass...it gives the ensemble a Hot Wheels look and really helps the green paint stand out. She's a beaut!
