"Fat" Coffin

[Brianl]

Always been a fan of the Lil Coffin but thought the front end on the model didn't sit right so I beefed it up and widened the rear while I was at it. Tamiya black with a mica red overspray on the roof and nose

Awesome build! Stance is spot on and I love the two tone.

[ChrisR]

Looks great.

[PappyD340]

Very nice!

[slusher]

Looks great and sinister!

[SpikeSchumacher]

That's really cool Brian!

Bitchen modernization of the iconic Li'l Coffin, Brian! Your color choices , modern wheels & tires and the blown 426 Hemi all work really well with this kits. Great conceptualization!...

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Brian!

Very, very nice, quite the improvement. Bravo!

If I may: what's the provenance of the wheels? They look and fit great...

Very slick looking. Looks great. 

[Brianl]

Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen. 

Claude, I think the wheels came from a Mustang SVO kit with the inner rims stuck on the outside. Wheels and stance are something I decide on before I start a build as they are pivotal to the final look.

Looks awesome!!

Great looking changes to the body. Like the color selections. 

[Russell C]

I'd call that a significant improvement! Fabulous color.

Wow! Checking out that stance. Real attitude. 

[Bruce Scully]

Really well built Brian , you have still got the magic mate.

[rv1963]

Well done I really like the 2 tone paint.

[Bainford]

Very nice update of this old Monogram classic. Your mods are a definite improvement. The stance is much more in line with how the car should have been built originally. The colours are well chosen, too. Well done.

[Kah puts]

Absolutely nailed it ?

[Koellefornia Kid]

I always wanted to do something special with this iconic kit, now you have a heads up and you did great! Looks very nice!

[XYHARRY]

Great colour combo on this, excellent body mods too. Well done Brian. 

Cheers,

Swapping out the fenders and widening the overall stance really makes a huge difference ! And it looks great in black , well done !

[Speedpro]

Pretty cool! ??

Thanks for the info. The width of the ouside rim puzzled me... Now it makes sense!

I agree, Me too, I always establish the rolling stock at the start of a buid: It influences soooo many things in the construction.
