59 Impala Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Here's one that I built awhile back. It's a Ford 4x4. I painted the black on it and then clear coated the whole truck. Thanks fer lookin. Dan
W-409 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 My only Van build. It is built from Revell kit, with only minor modifications. More details can be found Here.
Repstock Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Tom, Your vans are incredible! I remember you posted the green Ford Econoline in another thread a while ago. Every last detail down to the spare tire in the back of the Chevy is spot on. I had to go back and look at the pictures a few times to make sure they were models. BTW, what paint/color(s) did you use on the green Ford Econoline? Mike. Thank you. the Greens were Dupli-Color Hampstead Green, and Dark Jade Green.
Dominik Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Has anyone compared the AMT 'Phantom' to one of the MPC Ford Econoline vans(Sunrunner, Juke Box...)? The bodies looks very similar. I have an old glue bomb MPC Sunrunner that's falling apart but don't have a Phantom for comparison. Did you mean, if they are different? I think, the mpc (for example the Off Road Van) is the same like the amt Vantom, chuckoo nest, disco van, hyper hut, etc.
Dominik Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Michael, this is the mpc-kit: I think, its the same. Here's one that I built awhile back. It's a Ford 4x4. I painted the black on it and then clear coated the whole truck. Thanks fer lookin. Dan
crowe-t Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Dominik, I was referring to the bodies of the MPC and AMT vans, how they look side by side. Which one is more accurate... I have to pick up an AMT Phantom one of these days and compare it to my Sunnrunner MPC van.
Dominik Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Ah, o.k. Michael. Which one is accurate i didn't know. But, in my view, i think, they are the same. Sold under another lable
checkmate Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) They're different kits. Differences in the bodies are a few comparing the MPC Sorcerer van to the Vanton/Phantom. MPC: Has larger Econoline badges on sides better detailed/nicer door handles separate side door Different fuel filler location to Phantom Different indicators There's several other differences to and the more you looked the more you'd find I think, the Sorcerer also runs funny shaped side windows. Looking at the two side by side I think the MPC body is nicer, seems to be crisper, nicer details and separate side door is a nice feature. Cheers Rob Edited August 17, 2013 by checkmate
Gothic Kustomz Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) The Gypsy Queen, it will have all wood interior, to look like the captains quarters of a pirate ship, has a 6" scale sectioning, and will have a 6" scale wedge chop, with a 3" scale nose angle. Phantazy 6" scale wedge chop, with a 6" sectioning, interior will be diamond tuck.: Edited August 17, 2013 by Gothic Kustomz
W-409 Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Nice Chevy Niko !! I like the plate from Finland Thanks! Yeah the plan was to build a Van you could see in '80s Finland. That's where the register plate and that 80 sign came from.
b_lever1 Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 The Gypsy Queen, it will have all wood interior, to look like the captains quarters of a pirate ship, has a 6" scale sectioning, and will have a 6" scale wedge chop, with a 3" scale nose angle. Phantazy 6" scale wedge chop, with a 6" sectioning, interior will be diamond tuck.: Post this in the CBProjects I want to see more of the both of them

b_lever1 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Spot on Phil. Thanks mate. Sorry if I gave the wrong person credit on your model Rob those cars?vans? sedan deliveries?what ever they maybe called are just so cool is there model kits of them Ilooked at your guys web site Majestic vanners very cool
checkmate Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 All good Bob, There's no kit as such, mine was built from a resin body that a mate of mine cast. Hopefully they'll be some other resin ones available soon. They're panel vans, I've had heaps of discussion over the years about them with vanners from the U.S a minority call them sedan deliveries and refuse to accept them but the majority think they're cool as, love them and relate them to Mad Max's van. Glad you liked the Majestic Vanners site mate, there's a few of our vans featured in the current issue of Rolling Heavy magazine over there in the US.
tuffone20 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Built this one a few years ago. My Baja Beast. And this Krazy Van was built by Dan Doane Edited August 23, 2013 by tuffone20
