AirDave's Kool Wheelz Collection

[airdave]

mbed, your models look great!
a lot more involved and complicated than my little creations.

Finn McMissile is cool.

...
for the benefit of any newcomers, my KoolWheelz models are intended to be as simple
as possible...as simple as the subject will allow anyway.
My goal was to create a ONE Page model, with as few parts as possible,
that a Beginner could assemble.

Over time, there have been a few more complicated designs
(thats why I introduced the Model rating system on my site)
but i still try my best to simplify the design as much as possible
and produce a model that you can create in a fairly short time.

The models are generally vehicles that I have an interest in...
stuff that I saw when I was a kid, models I built when I was young,
my favorite Movie and TV cars, and so on...

I invite suggestions, but to be honest, I am not always receptive to every suggestion.
I apologize for that, but because I have so many models I want to design,
I don't always have time for things I am not personally interested in.

Heres a photo of my Koolwheelz Collection so far...

Woo Hoo!!! Family Truckster tucked in there!

[HMCS]

impressive,..most impressive...
my 2 cents
a cartoon 69 camero,.. or something like a BIG DADDY Don Garlits Top Fuel Dragster,.. maybe even 'tooned out? rat fink style

[mchale]

hey dave how about the vanishing point 1970 dodge challenger or the bullitt mustang of even the 1968 charger from that same movie or maybe the dirty mary crazy larry 1969 charger of maybe the 1970 charger from fast and furious and the dodge challenger and chevy camero from 2 fast 2 furious

[airdave]

sorry, forgot to add the note...regarding the two asterixed cars,
Family Truckster and Supercar.

neither of which are my designs...I just scaled them down to KoolWheelz size
and they fit nicely into the collection!

First of all, don't mention any of the Farts and the Feverous movies
or I just might laugh you right out of the building.

Worst bunch of crap Car movies I have ever seen!
Actually, I have only seen the first and can't be bothered to waste any more of my time.

Now...
Vanishing Point...great film.
Bullitt...great film
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry...great film

but all the cars in these films are stock autos, nothing special with respect to the cars themselves.
And the cars are not really the stars of these films either.
These are three of many films that had late 60s/70s muscle cars in car chases.
I loved 'em all...but I don't wanna build 'em all.


I still have at least 14 cars still on my to-do list.
Can I please deal with those first?

Also, the Trucks might not fit onto one page (which is still the current goal).

And anyway, I have never even heard of the TV show, so it has no connection for me.

I assume thats a helicopter shell up front?
The Truck would make a great RV or rolling Office.
But the paint job (even the repaint) is awful! lol

Actually, it's a whole helicopter...in one of the episodes, in order to escape from corrupt police, he presses a button, switches the steering wheel for a yoke, and the the truck transforms into a helicopter.



Turns out that the guy who owns the truck now is in the process of making it into an RV.

awesome,.. i like that truck i thought it was a good show back then,.. probably cheesy now if you were to watch it
