October 2017 KoolWheelz Release Party!

[airdave]

Thats a great question...but also a very tough one.

I'm never very good at picking one single favorite thing,
because I usually like so many different things
and find it hard to put things up against each other.
Each 'thing" always has its own merits.

There are so many KoolWheelz models I really love
...like the Batmobiles, the Gerry Anderson vehicles and the Blade Runnner cars.
The Land Speederz turned out really well too.
All the old Customs and Drag Racerz are cool.

I love the Deoras...but they're not particularly impressive models.

If you're asking me which is the best "model" when it comes to design, construction, build...
I've always been proud of the Pink Panther Mobile model.

Because, as a Koolwheelz model, I had no clue how to recreate such a complicated shape in paper miniature,
and I literally guessed at the shapes and paper parts.
I don't use 3D modeling, and I didn't do any preplanning for this one.
I usually create side elevations or 4-view drawings first, and work from there, but this was all curvy weird angles.

But it worked first time....all the parts fit and looked right.
I feel like I captured the basic shape and look of the car in very few parts,
and I kind of surprised myself.
I was very proud of myself when I built that one.

And...its Pink...my favorite car colour.

So, I don't really have one "favorite" model, I just have some I like more than others.
But the Pink Panther Mobile is definitely one of my favorites.

Very insightful answer. I find that I am the same way on most things.

Probably why I really like pizza and barbeque, rejoicing in the diversity

Cool ... I didn't think I'd be the first one up with this ...



I didn't get the mini-Macabre done yet, but I did finish these ...

Pink Panther car, I wouldn't have guessed. I haven't ever had the nerve to attempt it. I'll get round to it some day - it's such a cool (kool) bodyshape, and an iconic vehicle.

Good work, Johnny!

I just completed the Hemi Semi, I have always loved COE trucks, and when this kit was released, I knew I had to build it, I never knew about the kit as a kid, but I am glad to be able to build it

Hope you enjoy the pictures attached below

Nice job. This one scares me a bit

[rickstef]

Only tricky part is the glue up of the sides and cross members, the cab, trailer and wheel are pretty straight forward

If you have any questions when you build it, just ask

Great job Rick. I like it!
