Fabrux Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I recently acquired one of my grail kits, the Revell Ridge Runner set with a Ford Courier, trailer, and early-model Honda Odyssey FL250 ATV. I'm excited to build the Odyssey and trailer for use with another tow vehicle, but before I build it I was wondering if there are any resin casters that would be interested in adding the Odyssey (and maybe trailer?) to their inventory? I would ship the parts to you for you to make the molds and afterwards you would ship the original parts back. I might also be interested in a casting or two. Any takers?
jeffs396 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 ***BUMP*** for Chris!!! Surely someone would want to cast this, I think it'd be a GREAT seller
Fabrux Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Visual aids, maybe? Here are all the parts that make up the Odyssey, with two-part hard plastic tires. The only part I am missing appears to be the steering column, but I can make something up pretty easy. It is pretty much a snap-fit. The moment I found out about this kit, I had to have one. I have fond memories of riding around with my uncle on his late-model Odyssey (with full roll cage and Big Red wheels) on the frozen river amongst ice fishing shacks.

Fabrux Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 In communication with Scale Equipment Ltd to have this cast. They also do the sand rail and boat from the Revell sets; stay tuned!
Fabrux Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 The original pieces have arrived at SELtd, on the bench for casting in December!
Ben Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I love those old Revell combo kits. My favorite was the Malibu Gran Prix Toyota long bed pickup with trailer and Virage race car. Pretty hard to find now. I remember going to Malibu Gran Prix with my buddies and racing those little race cars, it was a blast!!!!!!!!!! We were doin donuts in the grass every time we would "accidently" go off the track!
Greg Cullinan Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Well that was cool of you to offer up. I checked out his site and his price point seems responsible. I'm thinking $15(my guess) for the odyssey will be a cool addition to any truck or trailer build. The lawn tractor from scale equipment Ltd. is awesome as well.
Fabrux Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 It was a long seven months, but I received a parcel today: My original Odyssey, plus the first three shots out of the mold. He doesn't have it listed on his website yet but it will probably sell for between $25-40.
Ian57 Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Chris i see this is many years ago but do you still have any of the scale Honda Odyssey models cheers
Fabrux Posted April 21, 2022 Author Posted April 21, 2022 I don't anymore and SEL discontinued them... ?
