1972coronet Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I,too,am hoping for a NEW tool '56 F100 . If the kit is going to be that ancient ,50 years old kit,then I will PASS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I initially thought of choosing the Imposter but I'd rather do my own (and already have all the parts acquired to do so) and am considering doing mid-60's variants of this build parameter with the other big-3 car makers. Maybe I can find a way to mix a GT40 chassis with a '64 Fairlane... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not by a long shot. For starters, the entire body is sectioned, and the front wheel arches are moved forward. This, it was done for him on an episode of Overhaulin', that truck has a ton of work done to it beyond the obvious, moved arches, wedge section, custom stamped tailgate, custom frame, custom made rims, wild engine (might have been a Rousch/Yates, don't remember), ect.........and all done in one week while doing another mark's car!

jeffs396 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Done... I think all proposed new scale subjects should be brought to a vote like this. Maybe it would make the kit marketing 'gurus' obsolete! Edited June 10, 2015 by jeffs396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If they tool up a whole new 56 F100 with a body like the 1:1, then I am in for a couple. If they drag out the old tired tool and try to pass it off as the real thing, I wouldn't give it a second look. but it will have "New" Wheels and tires and decals and box art.

johnbuzzed Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I went for the pickup and Hemisfear. I do hope that whichever two Revell selects, those kits will be actual replicas, in particular the pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm wondering about the '34 Ford, is it all custom, or is much of the hardware from the OEM, coupled with common, over the counter aftermarket parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drago Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Done! I would hate to see in this list the GMC "Butterscorched" pickup... so work done so far... LOL And my vote for #1 certainly would be to 0032... too bad it isn't in the list. Edited June 10, 2015 by Drago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The f100 wasn't done in a week, I've read it took 3-4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemified71 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I would of voted, but there was not a "none of the above" option Ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Too bad that NONE OF THE ABOVE is not an option. Nothing of interest among those ruined classic cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Looking forward to the results. Really would like to see the Grand Master as one. Would be happy with any others. Just hope that Revell follows through with new tooling for the choices as promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks for posting this. My vote is in. I went for the Eldo first only because there is nothing I can think of that is like that in scale. I am a huge Foose fan. I think I have seen all his creations in person. Maybe someday they will give Troy a shot too. Think rumbler, sniper. The LSR cuda. Scott.

1930fordpickup Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Scott I like the work from Troy's shop better than the Foose work for the most part. The one problem I see with this list , the one and done release for most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry don't buy into the ruined part. I keep an open mind. There is always some idea useful in any concept. As they say one man's trash is anothers treasure. The world would be pretty dull without variety. Remember with the exception of the hemisphere all those cars were commisioned to be built and designed for them.

Tom Geiger Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Too bad that NONE OF THE ABOVE is not an option. Nothing of interest among those ruined classic cars. Did anyone else realize that maybe it's NOT ABOUT US??? Note that Revell did the poll on FaceBook, not the Model Cars Magazine board. And for good reason, they didn't need the opinion of the cranky old men on this board who represent less than 1% of their sales. They are trying to expand the market for model cars by reaching out to the general public, car guys who don't model, and yes kids. We complain that our hobby is going to die with us and when RM actually does something to create new markets and new modelers, we complain about that too!

Scott Colmer Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 "cranky old men on this board" Who you calling old? : ) 53 going' on 14 right here. Back to Troy - Think of the awesome parts! The engine form the Sniper or Biscayne would definitely be worth a second kit. And , chassis under the First Love is a show in itself. We can dream.

If you find yourself in the Austin area, I'll buy you a beer for that. Yes, that one post and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijsgrit Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Back to Troy - Think of the awesome parts! The engine form the Sniper or Biscayne would definitely be worth a second kit. And , chassis under the First Love is a show in itself. We can dream. For me, it started with Boyd. The awesomness of his cars hit me hard... Too bad on TV the focus was mainly on something other than these beautifull cars. Even more shamefull what AMT did on some Boyd cars. Testors did better on the Boyd cars. Then there was Foose soon followed by Troy. These men are true artists. Gifted, hard working and humble (as far as I can judge) men that use their talents to the max. Every single part, small or big, visible or not, is executed in a perfect way. Sniper is along my all time favourites. Managed to find it in resin... Also like Terracuda A LOT. I think that any car originally built by these man AND represented well (!!!!!!) by one or another model kit manufacturer would be well worth being added to their line of car kits. Whether for the complete cars or their parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
