Favorite Shells/bodies

[Guest Greg67]

Figured to start a thread where people can show off their favorite shells or bodies. Cars, trucks, etc. Can be your own or someone else's. Something that inspires you, or something you want.

I think there are so many talented modelers out there.

Found this on RcDrift.Nl's website:

A 240zx if I remember right. I think it is very well done.

[Gruntfuggly]

Woah! I thought I was looking at a 1:1 car till I realised it was on a flippin' table! I think it's the windows that fooled me... nice pic.

[Percymon]

Very well executed but certainly not my cup of tea - either as 1:1 or 1:10

[igbandy]

Even tho I say so myself, this is my favourite RC. And yes it`s mine

I'm a big fan of Porsche shells. Had a Tamiya 996 GT3 shell (2005), HPI 911 Turbo shell(2008), and now this is my 2nd Tamiya 997 Porsche GT3 shell.

I also have the vintage 1973 cup racer shell waiting to go on an M06 chassis.

I guess you could say I like Porsche shells.

Cheers,

Skottoman

For me it's WRC rally cars, the old classics such as Ford Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts, Mini's, Audi S1's, Lancias in their various guises, Pug T16's etc, plus the more up to date stuff like the Scoobies, Evo's and Focus, but there are a few missing that I'd love to get my hands on.

Who's up for the Scooby Legacy RS (Rothmans colours), Colin Mcrae's Skoda Fabia (a limited run body only available from Skoda dealers a few years ago) a decent Citroen Xsara WRC (Come on Santa, I've dropped the wife enough hints).

If only I could find someone who imports the crazy bodies from the guys in the Czec Republic, I love watching their RC Rallies and drool over the cars. (better that than me watching mucky movies I tell the wife)

A Legacy RS shell would be awsome. Someone on hear contacted some companies. What ever happened to that?

Will

[tonysmini]

That was me, waiting to see what happens next year, it's on a 'future possibles' list with a couple of companies now.

Thats a bit naughty of you Andy . I can now see another order for my third bowler shell going into kamtec after xmas

Mind i`ve got a nice cc-01 chassis to sit this one on .Mmm ideas......

No wonder i get into so much trouble with her indoors

[Wez-li]

Two from my showroom

Ferrari F40 (finished body so I can't take any credit lol)

Toyota Altezza IS200 Race Car

[Guest Greg67]

All look nice, that Parma school bus is wild looking!

I noticed in the Netherlands, a lot of guys have added the fenders to their cars, gives them a unique look!

just a few that i like.

hpi datsun 510:

OMG I think I'm in love what a sweet looking car. Too bad I heard it was a major pain to build

i followed your lead tony........ i collect all the rs legacy rally and road stuff i can find ............. . a 1/10 would make me feel complete !!!!!

[Guest Greg67]

Striker01, Looks pretty advanced to me too! , I wonder if the front metal bumper is painted from the inside or not? That part looks complicated.

The Cup racer? Not really. There are a couple fiddly parts to the build but not enough to be considered a "major pain"

[Skottoman]

The Cup Racer kits come with chrome plated bumpers/mirrors/wipers. Very nice kits for sure.

Cheers,

Skottoman.

[Striker01]

Definitely a sharp kit tho Greg! Just google it.

[Guest Greg67]

Yes, they look so professional those kits. Almost looks like a diecast car with all the parts on it. Striker, we'll have to put one of those shells on our to do list.

The quality of them is very impressive looking. Nice to see them. Thanks for the info guys!

[Striker01]

Definitely. But first the hotshot needs to arrive and be built.

[Guest Greg67]

nice hilux shell:

incredible skills
