Tony T Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Best use of a minivan I've seen!! Love it!!
CorvairJim Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I have the Caravan kit, but I could never figure out why the heck I bought the thing! THIS is the reason! I'm inspired now to do something along the same lines, but crossbreeding it with a Viper - keeping it all American. As much as others seem to have liked your Photoshopped sliced and diced version with it's sleeker nose, I think using the body full-height is the way to go on this. Otherwise, it comes off too much as a GTO "Bread Van" for the new millenium. This way it's clear what it's roots are.
Scale-Master Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 I agree, a Viper engine is the more logical choice, (logical applied to this?), but I had the Enzo parts, and right now they are all relative being the under the parent company of Fiat. Chopping or sectioning the Caravan portion was never an option for me; first of all, it may work in Photoshop, but not in this actual exercise. You can create a lot of things in PS that don’t reconcile in actual building, just ask Harry... The intent was to show a contrast using the stock proportions of the van with the Ferrari fenders, (of which are not the same scale, nor is the engine). But I encourage those who think it should have been chopped or sectioned to do their own and show us how it looks in plastic.
ll Brandon ll Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I love it, very unique. My only criticism would be the grill portion of the van. I dont know if you are keeping it to show that it was a Caravan at some point, but imo it just breaks up the overall look of the van. I dont mean this to say how to do your build, only offering an opinion. That said, it still looks awesome.
Chuck Most Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 This thing is just plain wrong on about 1,000 different levels. But for some reason, it's captivating, and not for the 'train wreck analogy' reasons, either...
Scale-Master Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 Yes Brandon, you are correct, as I stated above "The intent was to show a contrast using the stock proportions of the van...". I agree, it is wrong on so many levels (only 1000 Chuck?) nothing can be changed to make it "right". But if I throw enough "wrong" at it...
geemoney Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 you made those seatbelts?!!!???!!! that is the final straw! ok, im throwing my 500 models away! stamp collecting sounds nice!
ll Brandon ll Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 In that case, it works perfect and I wouldnt change it. Keep on rolling!
Scale-Master Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 It’s not getting any prettier, but it is coming along. Interior is installed… Head lights were treated to a transparent mirror-like film left over from a Tamiya cycle kit. It changes from blue to gold depending on the way light hits it, yet it is still see through. There is a radiator with twin fans behind the grille. The tailpipes are also installed behind the mesh in the rear valance.
