Quick Crazy Project - Ed Roth's Outlaw

[zanthrax]

I wen't shopping for some models and came home with this:



All parts painted now and the engine is completly built.
There aren't to many parts in this kit and most off them are tiny and chromeplated. So building won't go that fast.

And some other models I finished recently.




Just check my gallery for those.

nice!

Very old-school...

I like the Diablo, though it's hard to tell what color it is from your pix.

[zanthrax]

The Diablo is limegreen.
I'll make some daylight pics soon.

Big Daddy Roth, long forgotten. Nice build. Put Rat Daddy Fink on there if you know how to airbrush.

Yeah... that man built/designed some great cars.
It surprised me that a search on 'Ed Roth' didn't turn up any models...

For the people how don't know his work:

I can't airbrush, but if this one turns out nice i'll probably build the Beatnik Bandit too. I also found a Ratfink statue by Revell. Might make a nice carshow diorama.

Yea, we are probably one of the few that know how Big Daddy Roth is.

I didnt know there were any Roth models out there. Incredibly tacky but innovative. The only "models" from Roth that I knew of were Hot Wheels.

Ed Roth forgotten? Noooooo..... That's just crazy. I know this board is mostly import, but come on. I would say a good dozen or so regulars here know well our roots in customs. Even I know Roth, and I'm all about imports and performance... the antithesis of Roth's domestic show cars.

There are many kits of Roth's show cars. Go to Dave's Show Rod models to check them out. There are a ton of other show rods, done in some Ed Roth and not-so-Ed-Roth style including all the ones of the cars he built. There is some cool stuff on that site, its worth a gander.

But no, the Big Daddy ain't forgotten.

Revell used to make a lot of Ed Roth's cars into kitform. Some of those kits have been re-issued in 2000.

[vwman]

Hmmm... loaded with chrome. Coool!!!

Got some more work done on The Outlaw.



and I took some daylight pics.

LONG LIVE ED "BIG DADDY" ROTH! 1932-2001

I grew up building his models, the only buck worth spending at the toy store. I don't even think we had spray cans back then. I remember brush painting the bodies. I have his TWEEDY PIE 2 model on the shelf. It's a skill level 3 and I'm still on the 'snap to' stage of modeling, I'll get to it sometime in the next year or so



Take a look at his kits from over the years at:Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's kits

RIP BIG DADDY. We hardly knew ya but we'll will never forget ya!

Done.

I messed up a bit on getting the decals around the corners...
But overall it came out better then I had expected. I thought it would fall apart with all those tiny bits. Mainly the engine and front suspension are very fiddly.


Next up: Fujimi Lamborghini Countach LP500S, 100% handpainted, 4 full opening doors.

Very nice!
About your next project: handpainted Countach! lol! Welcome to the club! Can't wait to see it done!
