View Full Version : My Chariot update w/ Judy and Don
j2man 08-22-2008, 10:45 AM Check out my update. Just a few things left to do to the chariot. Including the interior orange.
The Don and Judy characters came from the Lincoln Futura model. Had to do a little work on Judy's doo. :dude:

Paulbo 08-22-2008, 10:51 AM That's looking really good! The figures really add a lot.
BTW - the third image comes up as a broken link.
j2man 08-22-2008, 11:54 AM Let's try to view them this way. The free web-site has a lot of limitations.
djnick66 08-22-2008, 12:10 PM Looks cool. Those are useful figures although they are a bit small and closer to 1/32 scale. They still add a lot to the models.
j2man 08-22-2008, 12:46 PM I am pretty certain those are 1/25th scale figures. The other concept series cars from Revell are also done in 1/25. Jimmy Flintstones Batmobile requires the 1/25th Futura model to complete.
djnick66 08-22-2008, 01:27 PM Yes the cars are 1/25 but the figures are underscale (partly to fit inside the cars). A true 1/25 figure is about 80mm or 3 1/4 inches tall (the height of Jimmy Flintstone resin car accessory figures).

Mitchellmania 08-22-2008, 01:48 PM Excellent work!! I'm too afraid of the vehicle kits- my hands are not steady enough to paint lines on the glass parts!
j2man 08-22-2008, 01:55 PM Who said anything about paint? I used auto pin striping from Autozone! Works great. Use soapy water and a zacto blade. I still have the font and one side panel to complete........
djnick66 08-22-2008, 02:36 PM Thats a cool way to do the framing. Do they offer Orange or Red for the interior stripes?
Lou Dalmaso 08-22-2008, 02:40 PM Ahem...

scroll down about half way to see pics of the finished chariot
j2man 08-22-2008, 02:52 PM Yeah, I think I saw something like that on Ebay yesterday. Hobbytown U.S.A. told me that orange pin striping can be ordered. I kind of like Lou's idea better with the vinyl. The pin striping got a little tedius. I can't immagine trying that on the inside. Better yet, Lou, how much to ship mine to you for the final detials? he he he.
djnick66 08-22-2008, 03:02 PM I already ordered Lou's set... but for those who want to go the DIY approach...
Pactra does have orange pin striping tape in their RC Car tape series (along with silver).
j2man 09-03-2008, 04:23 PM Thanks Dar. I'll put some black and whites on here tonight.
