T’Rantula 1/32 Snap

[Silvercreeker]

Just a quick (9 days) Halloween build. I had to give this 1/32 T’Rantula the extra attention to make a nice match for the other T’Rantulas in my collection. The paint is candy lime lacquer with Tamiya clear. Red fuzz interior, wired engine and all the chrome done in Alclad. Decals are vintage first generation T’Rantula that I have been saving for years. A bit yellowed, but gave them life on a deserving build. All the body seams were filled and smoothed. Here she is sitting with her big sister. I’ve loved Tom Daniel kits since the 70’s. Still a blast to build!!!  Happy Halloween!

Very cool, both builds. The color looks great, very nice detailing. They look great together.

Looks waaay cool, Scott! And if you're into T'rantulas, consider the Tiki Trike since it was in essence the three-wheeled version of this icon.

I have a few of those too. Tom Daniel was a genius!

I agree!

Seeing quality like this always fires me up to give one a try myself. Excellent build!

Looks great and both looked  awesome together.  I remember my cousin built one when I was about 7 and  I liked it and always look at it when my parents visited my uncle and aunt..

Excellent work! Looks great next to its big brother.

Do you, have a WIP on that glue kit tarantula?

Just some random shots, it was a glue bomb I picked up at a show
