Sweet truck! I have always liked the Icelandic styled trucks of wich we have a couple. We have two Hilux AT and some Izusu trucks. And the first one we had around here was a Nissan Patrol. I did a model of a tire based on that tire, you can have the file if you like to build a truck for your desk.

I am not sure, but they had been driving from UK to North cape and we’re passing here on their way back to UK. It was two stratos and one Delta Integrale. yes they for sure are cool looking cars and so purpose built for rally of the time! keep at it mate!

That stance is just right! But as you say, needs allot of work to go with it. Almost easier to take a full drag racing chassis to get the large wheel tubs. Neither of the AmT or revell 67 have a good chassis for a low stance. An other way is what I did in my 1996 Impala SS Pro street, I took a monogram 1/24 nascar chassis and widened the tubs in the rear, that chassi is ok regarding height.

Nice builds! They al look the part! Good work!

Great work on a nicely engineered aftermarket kit! I saw two of these this summar, great small cars! I was surprised how small they are!

Nice! Paint looks great! I have a brake caliper from a DB9 in a display here and i just love these cars! Will be following!

Such a great build! Great details you are putting in to it! Like the belts you made. those shapes hare always tricky to get right!

Nice work there!

I could print you a couple and send them on the mail. Just hope they manage the shipping ?

I printed it, it even got the switch in it, it was hard to paint it. I got the basse model at grabbad but modified it to be able to print it, I have the file if you would like to have it.

Made some progress, got some brakes and other engine parts prepped and ready for paint but not much to show. But I did some minor additions to the interior added the switch board to the left of the steering wheel . And just a better shot of the engine with a better camera.

Great progress there! Nice work on that rear axle.

Epic cars! The Daytona did it for me!

Thank you! Thanks! It was probably mor or less as this one yes I have done some changes to resemble an Impala here in Sweden that had the world record at 402m with a caravan behind. ? he had replaced his front and rear bumper with what I have modeled here and mine also have a custom spoiler but other than that they should have been a like except for everything else as you pointed out ? haha Thanks Slusher!

Thanks Steve! Great to hear from you, as you said in your thread, it’s been a while, but that’s summer right! Yes the rear tires are printed and designed by me, but I realize that they look so naked without any tire text engraved so I might need to put some stickers there.. might have to buy Hoosier or some other nice ones instead of the traditional good year. What’s your 2 cents, tire decals or not?

8 months later and the Impala is back on the table. The Porsche is done as so is a Jordan F1 car, super productive year so far, and I have also made progress on my c5R and C5R race truck. made my first cost of primer and have corrected allot of old mistakes and I also removed the door handles since they felt so 1980’s. So I will put some others in there from the PB. I have also started to put the interior in place, and started to see how much interference I do have with the cage and seats… will be needing some mods as it seems..

Cant wait!! Love Martins build and that style of build is super cool! Some thing i have wanted to do as well.

Nice! Looks more like a H1 to me ?

Nice build!

So a couple of years later, When a wheel or two, have been knocked off In the display case, this build came back to the Bench. And since it was curbside, I decided it would be nice to have an engine in it. And I decided to have the LT5 in it just because I love the intake And the fact that it has four overhead camshafts It automatically makes the engine Exotic. And Turbos on a LT5 would be nice so that was the plan.. then the chassi would not cut it.. and with the huge tubs from the revell ‘67 Chevelle I had to redo the interior.. bloody snowballs.. out came the cutter to remove the firewall and inner fenders. And the door cards was cut of the original tub to make the interior less deep. The engine was missing parts since it was originally built by a friend 20 years ago and have been in parts for the last 19 or so. So I decided that I will make use of LS parts to make the front of the engine to look cool. Never mind accuracy and close to the 1:1 as possible, this engine shall look like a LT5 version V or some thing ? rear wheels will be weld racing and fronts might be weld racing as well.. but time will tell. Must do something about that intake though..

Yes it was, and it was active bigger part of the war, and even though it didn’t make much actual difference in the war due to fuel rationing and it stayed most of its time hidden in north Norway. It took allot of resources from the allied to try to sink it, and they even blew up a dry dock in France to limit the possibility’s for repairs. For me this is local history since it was in Narvik, where we have our cottage as mentioned, and was sunk not far from where my grandparents live. I believe that Bismarck is more famous only thanks to propaganda, the battleship that the allied sunk on its maiden voyage.

Got an early birthday gift from my wife and kids. Have been wanting to build this ship for 20 years, my dad have been diving on it way back and the found an armory, even though there is almost nothing left of the ship. It sank close to where my Norwegian part of the family lives. And it was also positioned in Narvik during the war, which is where my family have a cottage. So allot of connection to the monster of a ship! Will ad some minor changes such as replacing the typical svastica with the Iron cross and I might buy a deck, but I won’t ad any PE since this version already comes with PE and 1180+ pieces!

Nice build!
