kruleworld Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Top Gear (UK) is my favourite british car show. i've done a few models of the more interesting cars they've used on the show, the ones from their various challenges. Police Car Challenge Alfa Challenge Limo Challenge Eco Challenge Middle East Challenge
martinfan5 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Love it, very nice, I have been thinking about doing some cars from TGUK, and after watching the last episode TGUS I have idea for some builds now TG related
jaymcminn Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 "Geoff" looks fantastic (right down to the mustache), as do the others. Great work!
LAone Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 ah, my favorite show. dig the builds. any chance of building the hilux that never dies??
kruleworld Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 uh, depends on finding a hilux in 1/25 scale....
peter31a Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 This is a great bunch of builds! Love Top Gear (UK, as I've never seen the American counterpart). You have nailed each of these vehicles perfectly! Congrats!
Chuck Most Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 YES!!!! Somebody modeled Geoff!!!! Or the Hammerhead Eaglethrust i, if you prefer, right down to the mustache. Love the rest of them too.
hotrod59f100 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Vary cool. I love TGUK , I love there goofy challenges . You nailed it vary well.
martinfan5 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 This is a great bunch of builds! Love Top Gear (UK, as I've never seen the American counterpart). You have nailed each of these vehicles perfectly! Congrats! Not really missing much, they do the same things TGUK have done in the past. Is there a model of the hilux that will never die in kit form close to same year ?
Danny Lectro Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Nice work on all. I love the Limo and "Geoffrey."
hotrod59f100 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Not really missing much, they do the same things TGUK have done in the past. Is there a model of the hilux that will never die in kit form close to same year ? I think there may be . But as the prices hilux command I'd hate to see one beat up. Unless it was built before they messed it up. Lol
martinfan5 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I know I have seen some newer ones on evilbay were the sellers were asking well north of $100, I would love to get my hands on one, but not at that price, and like you said, there is no way I would do what they did to the real one to kit a cost that much.
Rob Hall Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Very cool builds...I especially like Geoff aka the 'Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust'...
1fine89 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Oh man love Top Gear UK please please can you do the vehicles from the boat challenge or that wicked Hilux truck from the artic episode!! cheers and thanks for sharing, it made my night!
Lownslow Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 i couldnt stop laughing when james showed up in that car
espo Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 These are great builds. Makes you wonder how you could stop laughing after each show long enough to build.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Is there a Oliver in the works? That was going to be my question too!My Wife & myself are hopelessly addicted to TGUK. Great thread and builds!
Tommy Kortman Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Love em all. TGUK is one of my favorite shows. It is also the only car show that my wife will watch with me. The US version cant hold a candle to the original. Someone told me yesterday that TGUK is one of themost watched TV shows in the world.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I've heard the same. If you search You Tube there's a segment from 60 Minutes where the three of them are interviewed. Something like 35 million viewers. I haven't watched more than 35 minutes of TGUSA.....
kruleworld Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 That was going to be my question too!My Wife & myself are hopelessly addicted to TGUK. Great thread and builds! sadly there is no model of the 63 opel kadett, except in small scales (ie 1:43 or less). i'd want 1/25. i saw a 1/25 scale Citroen CX the other day (Hmm, jeremy's 'tall van'?)
Dr. Cranky Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Nice collection. I love the Eco. Great little vehicle with a lot of charm.
Jairus Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Nice theme and the cars look great, especially that "Eco Challenge" car. Very funny episode that.
kruleworld Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 How about a Peel Trident? never seen a trident in the show, perhaps you mean the P50? either way, it's not in one of the challenges. for those who like the Hammerhead Eco car, here's a pic of the interior lots more here
