AirDave's Kool Wheelz Collection

[airdave]

Yeah, not really into twitter myself...
do you call them twits...who tweets?



That gravelly voice really got to me.
Ellen Barkin was the candy in movies like Buckaroo Bonzai.
Although she has starred in many top notch films of her own.
Sea of Love with Al Pacino was really good.
She is of course, 62 years old now
and is a typical Hollywood starlet resorting to a little plastic surgery and makeup.
But she seems to be doing a good job of holding it all together.



okay, okay...so I sidetracked....its all kool...wheelz...
models...really nice models...
okay, back to cars


...
just printed out a full colour Jet Car and I'll start building it tonight.

Yes, its referred to as the "Buckaroo Bonzai Jet Car"...even though its built on a Ford F350 Pickup truck chassis.
Looks like part of a Tow-Truck body under all that extra stuff in the rear.

I'm also trying to work on the latest Tutor Jet model
so I'll report on the Jet Car as soon as I can.

Well, I decided to stop....stop adding details and more parts!
I think this will have to do.

Once again, I find myself overthinking about all the extra details I could add.
Defeating the point of the KoolWheelz simplicity.

Okay, so this is a fairly complicated vehicle (in its construction)
Its a Ford F350 Truck...with the front end cut and sloped (I guess to be more aerodynamic).
The cab has been gutted and replaced with a German fighter plane cockpit.
Canopy over that cockpit is of course all handbuilt structure.
The rear of the truck has been built up with steel tubing and plating to accomodate air intakes, stabilizing wings,
and a real working Gas Turbine engine (jet).
Oh, and lets not forget all the equipment related to the Oscillation Overthruster
...the device that will allow the Truck to pass through solid matter.

LOL
I did my best to focus on a few of the basic structures and details and ignore technical accuracy.
So, sue me monkey boy!

I managed to get it all done to one sheet and as few parts as possible.
Hope you like it.

Bonzai!

Bonzai!

Hmm… Is this in the StarCarz section yet?

Looked all over and couldn't find it- Maybe my Oscillation Overthruster needs re-calibrated!

[airdave]

Nope, not published yet.
Still working on the final model sheet.

I only just finished the design and test build.

Adding front and rear bumpers, reworking some colours, creating an assembly drawing.

Soon.

Ah.

Then it's my chronometer that need calibration.

[airdave]

The jet car is now available!
I added bumpers, not seen in these photos.
And I altered the colour of those side intakes.
I think everything else is the same.
Other changes were structural, internal.

Its in the StarCarz section.

Great!

I was afraid I was going to have to sift for the rest of my natural born life...
