Bill Williamson Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In regards to the Revell/Foose partnership I don't think it is out of line to believe he would invest some capital in the project. That would also help justify doing one off customs that can't be modified easily for more versions to help pay for the tooling. And yes, of course they are going to pay him royalties. I could also see him getting a bigger portion of the profits/royalties from the following kits in this line to repay the initial capital invested on his part. As they say it takes money to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did Revell ever announce the chosen kits? Seems to be taking a long time to choose the two wrong kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysleder Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I guess there is a valid reason for concern about the origin of this "new" kit.Now, the way I see it is that Revell moves in mysterious ways, and it does well to remember that they did have an old drag Willys - and then they tooled up a brand new one. They had an old VW Beetle - and then they tooled up a brand new one. And I also think Revell knows that their existing F-100 tool doesn't really do their reputation any favors, and that they could really use a successor to that tool. Does anybody remember the Stacy David Rat Roaster? While it was not a 100% representation of the real one, it was still close enough to keep most customers happy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it shared a lot of parts with the other deuce kits. All the bodywork was new, engine and wheels were new, interior new. I believe the the front suspension (at least the axle) was new. I think only the rear suspension and possibly the frame (albeit slightly revised) carried over from the other kits. So. - If Revell has seen strong enough sales of the Rat Roaster, I could see them doing a fairly faithful kit of the Foose F-100. They might take small liberties with the underpinnings in order to facilitate future spin-offs, but that doesn't really bother me all that much. As long as it builds well, looks good and sits right. Thats all I care for. Edited July 27, 2015 by lysleder fixed typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Zimmerman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 While neither of the ones I voted on were picked, I respectfully suggest we wait until we actually SEE the test shots of these ? I'm beginning to think this hobby that has meant so much to me for 50 plus years, is full of whining, sniffling crybabies who would rather cut down something they haven't SEEN yet, then to actually offer constructive positive comments ? Yeah, they could both be total failures, or beautiful renditions - but it won't matter, as soon as they are released some nincompoops will go into 'AUTO DISTRUCT' mode - and frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of it. Saw it with the RAT ROASTER. The ford wagon. The latest version (STREET MACHINE) AMT 57 Chevy; the list is endless..... Steven Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) If I'm going to be realistic I'm still not convinced that Revell will do an all new tooling kit for the Foose truck as the tooling costs are huge and it's a one off custom build with far from stock proportions, severely modified chassis and drive line, and they haven't done that with the earlier Foose kits, they just threw in some new parts to old existing kits and added new decals and were done with it.The other kits listed here has huge possibilities to do future kits from but if Revell did the Foose truck right they would be stuck with it as it's far too much modified to go as a stock bodied truck and they have to retool a lot to do another kit from it that doesn't look like the Foose truck.But as I said, if they do a correct Foose truck I'll buy it as I think it's very cool.

Roadrunner Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 To be quite honest, I'm not too thrilled with any model that only depicts a specific custom vehicle, regardless of type. As a consequence, I'll avoid buying any model (for the most part), that cannot also be done as a stock version of that vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Well it's not only the rear bumper and the Roush Ford FE engine that does the Foose truck, the whole truck is modified everywhere, especially the cab, hood, front and rear fenders, the wheelbase is also different from stock and if you do your homework you can go on for a long time listing modifications done to the real truck that has to be done.So it's not just to take a regular 56 Ford F100 and change a few simple things and you have a Foose truck...no it takes a lot of work if it's going to be right.Hopefully Foose will not sell out too easily and have a say on how the final truck kit is going to look...after all, it's his name and his reputation at stake.

carcrazy19 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Only car I have an interest for is the Caddy. The truck even though is a sharp looking custom is just another F100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is precidence of Revell doing single-version kits of custom subjects, with the Stacey David Rat Roaster being the most recent.
