BritJet Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I wasn't sure where to post this as it doesn't really fit any of the categories! Resin kit with homemade decals and I replaced the kit vacform canopy as it wasn't very clear, scratchbuilt detonator, detour sign and paint pot.

BritJet Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks, I've had the kit for about 20 years and finally finished it only recently but I'm pleased with it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 That’s made me smile a lot. You’ve done it justice! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Wonderful Steve one of the most amusing things I have seen here for a while! A question, how big is this? and, a suggestion, a black wash or fine lining on the obvious creases may really set Dastardly off. I say this as could maybe still be done? cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigpen Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Love it! If I ever had a seriously big (10's millions) euro lottery win my stated aim is to spend half my week and half the money on setting up a charitable organisation and the rest of the week building a collection of life sized, road legal replicas of all the cars from Wacky Races. This might be a more attainable alternative! Where did you get the kit from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the flash for that photo so it's a bit washed out but I decided not to emphasise the creases as I didn't want to go too far away from the cartoon style, but also because I don't do figures and don't have the confidence to do a good job of it. I will have another go at DD's eyes though. 12 hours ago, Pigpen said: Love it!

This might be a more attainable alternative! Where did you get the kit from? That would look stunning! There have been a few soapbox versions on the Red Bull races but full size, road legal versions really do appeal to me as well. I got the kit from Comet Miniatures about 25 years ago so you might struggle to find one. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritJet Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks. @Pigpen this is the same kit I bought. There were some full-size Wacky Racers at Goodwood a few years back - YouTube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is from something else I'd like models of - Dastardly and Mutley in their Flying Machines....... Do you remember The Perils of Penelope Pitstop as well?

RACETRACK Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) yep, the Ant hill mob were also in Wacky races number 7 " the bulletproof bomb!" I'm sure the villain of the piece was "i'll get you Penelope Pitstop" The hooded Claw?.. But a whole set of 1/48 th scale Wacky racers would be very appealing, hmm I find myself hankering for a Dinky Pink Panther car...... sorry,I'm off down the childhood nostaligia google whirlpool......
