Blue Dream

[Nosferatu]

I'm not sure when the last time I posted on this site.

I wanted this project to be a combination of an American, European, modern and old school vehicle.
I cut off the rear of the 1936 Mercedes (Rommels Rod)and the rear of the Porsche (1955 Speedster). Then I combined the Porsche rear to the Mercedes front.

The body is old European, the engine and suspension are from the Dodge Viper - modern American, the interior is all modern American

Too many scratch built pieces to list.
A few are:
wheels, from 12 pieces
Front bumper from 6 pieces
door panels all scratch built
chassis 95% scratch built

She's all done - I would like to officially call her Blue Dream

















Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Nice job, I like how the 2 kits blend together without looking out of place. You nailed the proportions. I can see it as someone taking their grandfathers old home built car and giving it the modern rod treatment

Thanks stitchedup for your nice comment.

Very, VERY nice--I like it! Might look even slicker with a hood, though it doesn't look bad without one. Extremely well done and model on!

That's wild !

Well done Dave !  Saw this over on CCII a while back and I still think it's the best Rommel's Rod conversion ever !

That is why I love model building, the limit is just your imagination (and the kits you have in stock). Very nice creation!

That is very nice! You kept the classic look but gave it modern power.  I’d like to see that in 1:1!

Thanks all of you for your nice comments. 

This was about an 80 hour build.

I wish I owned a 1:1 of this!
