Alright so I thought this was the A-Team Van. I still have 2 of these black w/
Flames and a Yellow Paramedic from my childhood. That White is the only one they did back in 75
and a rerelease in 2010. Also last issue was in 2016 with Donkey Kong Graffics

Here's a pic of that Paramedic, a lot of variations with this. Thanks Again!!!!!!!!

Anyone else?
...anyone else got a Koolwheelz model to show us?

We're halfway through the Koolwheelz week...3.5 more days until the next one.

Oh, you're gonna like the next one.
Well, some of you are gonna like it.
One person in particular.
I think.
The person who asked for it!
At least, I think they asked for it.
I wasn't sure what they asked for, but this is what came to mind...lol
oh well, I liked the idea.
Its actually got a lot to do with #7.
But, since you don't know what #7 is, that doesn't help you much.
I'll stop now.
Be patient grasshopper.

Sorry fella!

I was really vocal when you had the Trek Galileo but cars are not often my thing. Even then I did lime your Batmobile and your Prowler and will keep an eye out. Even if I don't always comment I attend to your threads and respect the quality of your work.

I wish I had the talent you prove so often...

#7 is going to be fun little model !

I too am a huge SciFi fan.
But unfortunately most SciFi "vehicles" are too complicated or too big to work as Koolwheelz models.
But I am slowing adding more.
The upcoming models are proof of that.

Speaking of Trek shuttles, I did start work on a Type 4 Shuttle.
Like from the original series Trek movies and animated series.

But I stopped for some reason.
probably because there are already so many Trek models out there.
But then, I completely misplaced the files I had started.
Just gone.
Maybe I deleted them, I don't know.
I don't usually delete stuff like that, I keep it in case one day...
but I can't find anything.

I might pick it up again. Who knows.

Cool idea.

TAS had a number of clever designs that have been largely forgotten. The vessels were recognized by studio insiders, however, and sometimes replicated or referenced in later, live-action incarnations (such as the robot freighter, later depicted in the Carlie X remastered) [1st & 2nd pic].

Some of the designs were actually very simple shapes, such as the long range shuttle, also used for Carter Winston's ship in The Survivor. Even if simple, they were elegant, and in that respect, very believable.

I got the bumper wrong. Not sure what happened. I did design an interior, and like how the prowler looks except the front bumpers.

Thank you for another koolwhheelz model.

**airdave** · #60 01-27-2018, 08:23 AM

The lights in the front Bumpers are not that big...not large Headlights?
You have somehow enlarged things
...and then flipped the bumpers inside outwards and upside down!

lol oh well...Points for effort!

But I like your interior.

The reason I don't bother with the interior is basically too many parts.
making the model too complicated.
I did think about a basic tub interior, but once I put in the tub,
then it needs 3D seats...
and a Steering Wheel....and a Dash....and a Center Console
....and it becomes neverending!

Also, the top panel of the body is narrow along the sides and weak.
Cutting a big hole makes it weaker.
The tub would need to be securely mounted with glue tabs to re-strengthen the body.
But then there will be a lot of overlapping glue tabs along the sides.
This would distort the upper body panel.
(although I see blake did not add side tabs)

Now that I see your build Blake....I almost wish I did add an interior!! lol
