Fat Brian

Yep, I was going to use one of the new bodies with the old Cobra parts but now I won't have to.

According to their site it is.

Take a close look at the 81 Camaro. It's an old Revell snap kit, not the Monogram 1/24 kit we've been getting lately.

I like some early Lady Gaga, Paparazzi is a great song. Then there's Mika.

Shapeways is in the US, every order I've done with them is a $10 flat shipping fee for a box that would hold 3 AMT kits. If you follow the link above, then hit the three lines in the upper left then on the next page you'll get a magnifying glass in the upper right to search. If you have an account you can save creators stores that have things you like so you can find them easier when you're ready to buy.

The 71 Mustang, 70 Torino Cobra, and the Pulldozer Blazer off the top of my head. I think their was something else but I can't remember at the moment.

Someone already does a Dana 44 in 1/24 scale but something beefier like a Dana 60 or 80 would be great. https://www.shapeways.com/product/G95CPQBSZ/1-24-dana44highpinion-2sets

Revell is going to hurt me for the foreseeable future. I need a couple 32s for the intakes, a Roadrunner, Olds, and hopefully just the decals from the 85 Camaro. Plus a bunch of other stuff they've announced for later.

Yes, I'd love to have it.

I got a nice set from Scenes Unlimited.

Those look amazing, thank you for doing that.

Based on working with it how do you think it would react to a clear coat?

They average about $40 on ebay but you can sometimes find them cheaper in an auction.

That's good news because that is one thing I'm planning on doing. I only recently got the Capri kit after ignoring it the last time it was out, they're pricey now and it took a while to find a deal.

I'm a little on the young end for Van Halen but was into guitar.

Is it a Van Halen reference? That works for me. Can you print them too or do I upload to Shapeways and print them myself?

These pictures are amazing. This is the look I usually go for, that "day 2" or second owner look where the car is really starting to have some personality beyond stock.

You'll need to use the front bumper from the pickup too, there's not one in this version of the Blazer.

That looks great. And it doesn't have to be perfect because it's going to be underneath the trucks anyway. There's just nothing even remotely similar out there.

Ok, I finally got back to work today and pulled some measurements from a 5 ton truck. The case is a little different than the one I posted the pic of, there are several different Rockwell cases. The truck I measured today has a Rockwell T138 transfer case. It's 24" from tip to tip diagonally so around 20 inches tall in this orientation. It's 12" across the middle of the case but you can see its kind if an odd shape. The main part if the case is 15" thick with the bolted on outputs raised up about half an inch. Here us a link to more pics.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/T138-ROCKWELL-TRANSFER-CASE-TC138-5-TON-TRUCK-/262854352111?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Yes, you do have to provide your own headlights.

That's great that you found it, I had even tried a reverse image search and didn't get anything. If I were going to build something along these lines I would start with the Foose Cadillac. Paint it a satin color, find some cool pinstripes, get a set of 20" steelies, drop in the Caddy engine from the Revell 49 Mercury. The only issue is the interior, it's too modern for this style.

I'm down for at least one of these, I like this little kit. You can also get a 3d printed version of the quad headlight grille on Shapeways, it's a nice piece. https://www.shapeways.com/product/TL5QRQ8J2/1-25-scale-dodge-ram-50-grille

The kit builds as a stock Fairlane 427, it doesn't have any real race options. These cars were intended for drag racing, kind of a slightly less extreme version of a Thunderbolt. Depending exactly on the period and class you might be able to get away with just the decals as a race car but you'll most likely need a roll bar at the bare minimum. The Fairlane wasn't really used in NASCAR, they ran the Galaxie in 66.

Very cool, I just got two of these in the mail Thursday, I might need a few more.
