Hi folks,

I didn´t manage to finish this project in time for Halloween, but I think it´s still scaring enough today (not only because of her paint scheme)...!

The lil´ Skoda was a highly sought after car in the former GDR, but some of them found their way to Western Germany as well (a school friend of mine had a dark red one back in 1985 - great color for those cars, as it was the best camouflage for all the rust...). Today it´s an extinct species, so I just had to raise a little monument!

Here´s the first (and probably last) one I built for my track:

I had a lot of fun doing the molds and casting that car, but detail painting was a royal pain in the you-know-where, so please don´t ask for finished cars. Of course kits are available as usual in limited quantities...

Greetings from Germany,

Nice ride Claus.

That one sure fits the wheel base nicely!

Nice one Claus...

It looks tiny (not a bad tiny either). Is looks as though it's about the same size as the Lancia Delta? Another uniquely "CH" bod!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Claus - as usual, a simple car made to look highly detailed with your modeling. The body's fit over the tires is absolutely perfect.
I like sedans for running t-jets.

:thumbsup:I definitly want one ! Along with a early pre 1966 Wartburg, Later post ' 1966 Wartburg & Trabant ! Horch/Sachsenring P240's would also be appreciated !
Can you do any GDR trucks like Robur , Horch-Sachsenring etc. ?Any other GDR vehicles in resincast ? Most were built by the former VEB IFA Combinat in the former GDR Associated from VEB AUtomobilework Eisenach & VEB Automobilework Sachsenring-look up in wikipedia.
How about Russian Kamaz Trucks, Lada ,Moskvitch etc. ? Czech Tatra's ?

Claus,

Man that just hits my "LOVE THAT CAR ALOT" button inside my skull....way Kool man!

Bob...that would look great in front of a Hooters...zilla

 

[Hilltop Raceway]

That's some good looking detail work!!! Great looking pics also!!! I like this pic, car looks like its got a slight roll going through the turn, must be a stiff shock package!!! Maybe the gals had something to do with it... RM

 

[wheelszk]

How does one buy these cars? I can't read German.

 

[clausheupel]

Whoa...

... never thought this ugly lil´ Czech limo would catch so much interest here!!!

Thanks guys for all the nice comments - although I did this project (as always) for my own fun and pleasure in the first place, it´s great to see that this little critter made some more guys smile!

Errr, BTW: The 2 trackside babes aren´t very criticising: The one on the right is ALWAYS waving as soon as a camera points at her (I call her "Paris"...). The other girl (with the purse on her shoulder) is probably not the brightest either. Whenever I see her, she´s standing there. Always wondering how she earns her living...! Although they´re both a bit featherbrained, I somehow like ´em, so they´re definitely NOT for sale (I sometimes enjoy my cute and dumb 2 trackside blondes...)! :hat:

For all of you who are interested in testing and/or improving their skills in detail painting : Just drop me a PM or eMail and we´ll work out a deal (HT member special: 15 $ per kit + shipping or trade for chassis, hop-up parts or whatever you might have)!

Thanks again, guys! :wave:

Have a great weekend!

Greetings from Germany,

Claus
