You're spot on here with this kit

Love the craziness of it, that thing is definitely huge and can be detailed to a level I don't want to imagine! How much detail are you going to add? Keep us posted, I think we all want to see more of it, hehe.

coolness.
something most of us will never see.

package reminds me of some of the older tamiya RC kits.

As I was one of the 1st to put my $$$ down I paid $850AU

instead of the $995AU which they sell for now. Its money that could have been spent in a more productive fashion on my 1:1 Oldies

That thing is dope! I love how they actually use 5 wheel studs to hold the tires on...Cant wait to see this finished...Reminds me of a 1/8 scale monogram Camaro i had as a kid...

Finally got this thing built. The main problem I had was actually finding somewhere large enough to do it. Could not use the dining table as my daughter wanted somewhere to eat.

The rear view mirror can be adjusted just like a real one. May leave this as if the girlfriend had grabbed it to check on her lipstick.

This also has a spare hubcap, a jack and wheel brace.

Final one is with both a 1/18 car and 1/43 car of the same model of car. Do not know what it weighs, but I have built my muscles up.

Will be delivering it to the owner tomorrow. Hope he is happy and actually has somewhere to display this.

This is a a very convincing looking model. You sure did an excellent job on it. The engine bay is amazing.

EvilEclipse · #23 01-04-2009, 09:00 PM

WOW i want

Now that is hot.

Though I don't have room for a 1:8 scale right now and I don't have $1000 to spend...

Sorry to dig up an old thread Mal but can you describe what you did to up-detail this car? You said that Icon Models' instructions gave some tips on extra detailing - did you do them and what were they?

Given that this car is owned by a friend rather than being your own, if you had your own version, what would you have done to it (ie, detailing, weathering etc.)?

The Model is mine. Mal indicated that he would've put some weathering on it, at the very least
