Antikainen Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Now this is kinda mix up of many kits.This could easily pass as a mad max- effected curbside model though it is infact a Modelrally race car in Modified class, build strictly according to rules and regulations of Modelrally. Modelrally is quite brainless but seriously fun sport which includes hitting these totally brush- painted and fully decaled race cars with croquet mallet one racer at time in order to finish first. Race cars race on a track of course. The track lines are drawn on sand with a stick or drawn on asphalt with various methods. Modelrally is a sport that me and my modelmaking buddies cooked up and it includes many unintented crashes and damages to race cars. This one was fun to build! Enought with talking, on to the pics: That lip on the rear is a hitting shield made of thin metal, demanded by the rules. Weird stuff.
Antikainen Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Now we are just building these racers, first race will be held next spring. Rules are ready and the sport is just taking it´s shape.
TFchronos Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Very nice build, looks like it rolled off the movie set.
TheRX7Project Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I'd love to see some "after" pics of the "modelrally"
Antikainen Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Really? Pics of plastic junk? Meanwhile, here´s a link to our forum topic where these racers are presented. Text is in Finnisf of course but there are pics to look at: http://www.fcma.fi/FCMABBS/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=12254
Antikainen Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 If someone is intersted of this sport I can translate rules in english.
Antikainen Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 If you are on facebook you can find lots of pics of these modelrally racers over there. Just search " malliralli " from FB. Malliralli = Modelrally in finnish. Those pages are in finnish put look at photos / albums on that page.
JTalmage Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You had me at Croquet mallet! that sounds kinda fun.... but I dont know how I'd feel about whacking my model w/ a mallet... no matter how badly I built it. But that pontiac is pretty awesome!!!
Jantrix Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I can't bring myself to sell a completed model, much less destroy it on purpose. But whatever trips your trigger I guess.
Zarana-X Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 That's a pretty neat car, be a shame if something were to happen to it. I had to re-read your description. I was picturing the racers hitting each other with croquet mallets.
VEGADETH Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Pretty kewl!! , I want to do a Vega along the lines of the Mad max car.
Antikainen Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Sorry but we haven´t got any videos yet but I am planning to shoot some and share on youtube when we are having our next race on our model club. Last Sunday we held a test race at my place, you can find action shots from it on our FB- page. There were AMT Promo- based ´Vettes, an amt ´62 Buick and Monogram ´58 T- Bird on the track. If you are on facebook you can find lots of pics of these modelrally racers over there. Just search " malliralli " from FB. Malliralli = Modelrally in finnish. Those pages are in finnish put look at photos / albums on that page. Edited March 10, 2015 by Antikainen
