hobbybobby Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I started with the Tom Daniels T’rantula, and cut the body in many parts, to assemble it again in a different position... And... The front axle has been widened, the steering linkage has been altered, cleaned the spokes of the bicycle wheels, the roof has been reduced in length and is now at a different angle to the body, the interior has been adapted, the engine is original and wired, with extended exhaust pipe ends, a new cooler with aluminum lattice of a colander, the front lights are from the MPC Tiki Trike, the rear light was a front light and now with a red gem, the drag chute is a fake, behind it lurks a new tankcap, and of course a new pair of my home-made rear wheels... Here are the pics, hope, you like it.
Harry P. Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 That's pretty wild! Nice imagination. Not a whole lot of rear suspension travel, though...
Deathgoblin Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Wicked!! There's nothing I don't like about this one.
Chromecop Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Best looking T'rantula I've seen....ever!!
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Nice work. Its fun to see a different version of the old tom daniel classics.
AZ Boy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Really nice Boban. A lot of imagination went into this build!
oldnslow Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Somebody finally made that kit look good! Imagination at it's best.
Jantrix Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 That's some serious kitbashing. Fantastic work.
blunc Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 that's an interesting variant of a classic Tom Daniel kit, nice work.
Tom Geiger Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Cool take on an old classic kit. Send photos to Tom Daniel. I'm sure he'd like to see it.
bpletcher55 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I see what you did there ! cool never liked that kit until now . you made it better !
TimKustom Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 way cool idea and execution. made me smile!
ChrisBcritter Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I think I like it better than either the Uncertain T or the T'Rantula - it has the best of both designs!
hobbybobby Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Thank you all very much for the kind comments, I really do appreciate them! Here are some more pictures, as a small comparison, seen where all the cuts are?
