Antikainen Posted January 24, 2015 Share 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 March 4, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antikainen Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
