Krazy Rick Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Here's my 1/25 Roach Coach - Scratch built frame, gas tank, wired, plumbed, 3D printed body - needs a couple adjustments - but 99.9 % done. Edited October 8, 2018 by Krazy Rick added text
BKF Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 That is pretty wild! I keep seeing a high heel shoe when I look at it. Nice Build.
DinwiddieCountry Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Weird, but somehow amazing. I can't explain it. It's cool though. Good job
Krazy Rick Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks guys !! - For those who may not know of Ed Newton, he designed anything & everything cool that Roth built ( Mysterion, Road Agent, Beatnik Bandit, Bike Hauler, etc. ) - as well as the Pink Panther ( which I'm working on still ), Sand Dragon, Red Fox Wrecker ... and many others . I think he was a pure talent. Mike & Kevin, who made this 3D body & this model possible did a fantastic job; going only by pics & a few tips by me . I did a few mods on the body they produced ; but the overall shape was there, so .... kudos to them- they are masters of 3D printing . For me, the car brings back special, fond memories of when I saw the 1:1 at the custom car show here.
vintagercr Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Rick that is way cool! I was at John White's house and he showed me his body that he has.
Bernard Kron Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I always thought this was the ultimate show rod when it was created and the same can be said of this beautifully done scale version. I hunger to see a rolling chassis with all its delicious details, but I suspect you didn't build it that way. No matter, the result is as impactful as one to could ever want. Bravo!
Lowlife ! ! Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Love it, just Krazy Kool ! Would like to see some build up shots, do you have any ?

No, I don't - I'm not big on taking "In progress" pics, for one, I think it kinda ruins the surprise of seeing the completed piece & the other reason is that I'd rather spend the time building instead of taking step by step pics !! .... that said, thinking back, I probably should have taken at least a couple for this one ; before mounting the body - it did seem a shame to cover it up
Mr mopar Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I must say for an ugly show rod you pulled it off very nicely well done !

Sorry Bernard, you suspect wrong ..... it is a rolling chassis done according to the 1:1
Krazy Rick Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 And ..... I must give a very special thanks to Jim King for making this all possible , he discovered the 3D artists & without that happening; I never would have met them & done this; Thanks much Jim !!!
DumpyDan Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Hey Rick, this is pretty nice looking build, one day would like to see it in person.

Those guys are good at what they do huh? You TOTALLY did this justice! I saw the pics on the Coffin Corner, but then when I went back to comment they'd gone...I think they got moved and I can't find them or you deleted them maybe? Anyway, GREAT build dude, absolutely amazing!! Love the paint, and you've really captured the look and all the detail of the 1:1!
Krazy Rick Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Hey Jim, I really had problems getting my password to work ... so I figured if I put it in your gallery; it would have been moved into the right section; It must have been deleted by the site operator; for not belonging. ... anyway,I wish CC all the best. I try to spend very little time online & don't normally post my builds; I just thought this one might be of interest, because it is not just so "unusual" , but also because it probably is the first & only 1/25 completed Roach Coach ever. Thanks for helping to make this dream come true !! Edited October 10, 2018 by Krazy Rick added text
