Dominik Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Hi buddies, here is my last built in 2011 - completed in November. My Dodge A-100 Delivery Van: It based on the old IMC-Kit and a Resinbody (i think you know it) from Jimmy Flintstone To this body i will say, that it fixed perfect! The quality was really good and so i had only cut a little bit on the front and backframe. Also the windows and Doorpanels fixed perfect. Well done Jimmy! That was a easy and funny built. Enought of words, here are some pics - enjoy it ...more coming up... ... ...for a look inside the van...
Dominik Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 ...and a picture from the wip without body: So, why he became a hitch?
Dominik Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 There was the body from the mpc-kit, that i built to a trailer. So he must not take the mud, trees or flowers in his beautiful van At last an overall view... ...and so he can go up for buisness. One note to the buisness: it is a real landscaping service in Florida - i like this place of the world. Thanks for your attention. Comments, critism is alway welcome.
bbowser Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This is just way too cool! You do great work, the trailer and odds & ends added really make it stand out. I used to have a window-van version of the Dodge while I was in the service, the most fun vehicle I ever owned. Sitting on top of the front wheel with that big, flat steering wheel was like driving a bus. I'm gonna have to get one of these. Thanks for the memories and again, great job!
peter31a Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Vantastic Build! Love the trailer and all of the appropriate accessories. Great job Dominik!
JB_Hobbies Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Very Nice VAN! I may have to build mine! The trailer is awesome too....Great work!
Deathgoblin Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Looks really good. The interior details are sharp. Where'd you get the pop bottle?
Erik Smith Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 That's a great idea and build. I like the trailer conversion - great job.
jeffs396 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 AWESOME build Dominik!!! Perfect detailing as usual from you!
george 53 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 GREAT job, Dominik!!! Useing the extra body for a trailer is just smart! waste not, want not! You did a VERY nice job, I have that same body and ut does fit quite well right from jimmy. You did a great job, it came out REALLY cool!
Dominik Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Thank you very much for your kiinda words - thanks! I also love this Dodge. It looks "sweet" and to drive with it...i can feel you, Bruce. I wished, i could see a real one here in Europe to touch em. Looks really good. The interior details are sharp. Where'd you get the pop bottle? The bottle is selfmade. You know the branches of the modelkits, in which the components are mounted. 1.) I take a clear one, 2.) hold it over a candle untill it is a bit soft, 3.) pull it apart. Not fast....smooth pull. Where it tapers know, i cut the part out. 4.) Now i paint the bottle with a label on one side 5.) for the filling stance of the "soda", i paint on the other side with Tamiya Clear colors. The stretch is a metter of practice and the quality of amt, monogram or revell is different. Try it, that will work I hope i have explained clearly? Once again, thank YOU for comments Edited January 15, 2012 by Dominik
bsoder Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 You do some really great stuff man!...All I can say is this one brought a big smile to my face!!
Eshaver Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Fine job cept for one thing. It's missing one of my snack trays I used to manufacture for Dodge Van A-100's 64-70 in the day , ( Custom Van days ). Thas O K , I'll fergive ya ......... Ed Shaver
Sixties Sam Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Really cool van! The interior details and the trailer are great. This is a model with lots of character! Very nice work! Sam
Harry P. Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Dominik, nice work! I especially like the "rolled down" side widows... a nice touch!
Randytheroadrunner Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Very nice! I've had this same body in my stash for quite a while now, and this is a motivator.
Gluhead Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Great! I'll have to give the JF body another try. I've never taken the one I have all the way home because it has wonky panel lines all over the place, but clearly yours are fine. Really like what you've done with it.
crazyjim Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Very cool build. I like it even more with the trailer and all the details. I'll keep my eye open for it driving around here in FLA. SHINY :) RULES!
