Guest Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 That is one great looking model Tim! A Bugatti has never looked this cool....'til now! Great work all around!
geetee66 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Mate...that is kool and krisp! Love the paint/concept/execution. Very tidy work...I like this a lot. Did I say I like this?
Dr. Cranky Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Just returned for seconds and thirds. This one is a classic build already in my opinion.
Jantrix Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Tim, it was excellent meeting you today at the show. Folks if you think this looks good in photos, it looks that much better in person, a fantastic piece of art.
Chuck Most Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Love stuff like this! Imagine the outcry if you did this in 1:1.
iBorg Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Just noticed the radiator......great touch on a great model.
Qwit Pushin Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Outstanding!! Your modifications, while significant, appear as subtle, but oh-so-perfect! Well done, sir.
TimKustom Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Wow, surprised this one was still going. The wheels are from the Revell '32 Ford Roadster (this is what I'm playing with now). I had to use two kits since only the rears fit the Revell Rat Rod tires (sorta). Jantrix it was a pleasure to meet you as well. Thanks again for all the nice comments. Heading back to the bench.
ChrisBcritter Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Love stuff like this! Imagine the outcry if you did this in 1:1. 1/1 wouldn't be a big deal if you started with one of the VW powered replicas - I'm surprised it hasn't been done already. Come to think of it, a VW Bugatti in scale would be fun to try...
Skip Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 My first thought when I saw how old this thread is was like, "why is someone dragging up ancient posts again"; then I took a look at it and am glad it was brought back to the top, it was one of last years best models. So, thank whomever brought it back up again. This is one beautiful, imaginative creation, I see more of the talented, quality building techniques that didn't sink in the first time I looked at this beautiful model. Oops, I almost forgot the paint, it's so Swell it's (almost) by Mattel!! (The rest of you Old Farts will get/remember that commercial reference) I'm still thinking this kit would make a great start to some of the Model T Speedsters that are showing up lately. Makes me want to find one to use with some of those Stock '25 T kits that I've got Rat Holed. Now if I could just find a few more sets of decent Model A wheels and tires... maybe a set of Buffalo Wheels.... hmmm....
rustybill1960 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Beautifully Done Tim! Sharp and "very" Clean Thank You for sharing Later Russ
wkennerley Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 OMG that is great, I could easily drive round in one!
Danno Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Outstanding!! Sorry I missed it first time around, but I'm glad I didn't miss it this time!
