Chuck Most Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 This is the Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper Rally car kit, combined with the long-gone Scale Kraft pickup transkit. I used the wheels from the Austin Mini Cooper- they're not prototypically correct for a pickup, but they're about the closest thing to a plain BMC steel wheel you can find. I used the knobby tires from the rally kit on the drive axle and the regular tires in back. There are still a few doodads I'd like to add, but it'll pass for finished for the time being.
wayne swayze Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Cool build Chuck ! I like how you didn't "over-do" the weathering.
GeeBee Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Nice build and realistic weathering, if I had known you were building this, I would have sent you a set of BMC 10" steel wheels and crossply tyres I cast in resin

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Very cool build!! I like the weathering!!
Chuck Most Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks guys! I had a blast building this, and it helped to take my mind off some of the more "serious" stuff I had going on at the moment. Modeling certainly is theraputic! Just because I can, and because I had to test out my new camera (Kodak AZ251), here's another jaunty-angle pic.
Tom Geiger Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Nice work. I have the Scale Kraft Mini Traveler wagon. Haven't done anything with it yet though!
PatW Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Superb Chuck, my late brother bought his 1963 light green MiniVan direct from the factory at Oxford just 20 miles from home. The late mother passed her driving test at the age of 64 after dad passed away and she bought a second hand Mini Traveller in darker green with the real wood trim down the sides and across the back double doors!

gatorincebu Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Chuck, That is a sweet little truck. And your weathering looks good. Not over done at all. Be Well Gator
