https://scalemates.com/de/ki..-72184-dodge-caravan--976829

Spanjaard, shipping cost is horrible

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you by the way to Keep your eyes open.
Perhaps someone has it in stash and will offer it...

Spanjaard
indeed.

Bob Hall
I have the police one, and it's a 1/25.

Spanjaard
the boxes of both say 1/25

Bob Hall
I don't know if they ever made this in a 1/20.

Dominik Weitzer
Thanky mates,
i thought, it was 1/20 scale.

Mirko Römer
Lovely model!

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you Mirko

Neuling
Nice build of a beautiful automobile!

Rui S
I agree with Neuling. Very well done

Laurent "HELLER-forever"
great

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much!

Acki
So good!

Christian W
I like the open door and Hood. It Looks very good to me. The paintjob is quite Right on my Point of view. Not that shiny

István Szücs
So nice, so good... But where are the maquisards?

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates
Istvan, they take a nap

István Szücs

Bill Newcomer
That looks VERY nice!

Dominik Weitzer
Thank Bill

Neuling
Bill is right.

Christian W
Agree

István Szücs
Nice, clean build. Congrats!

Richard Mullen
Good work.

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks much appreciated

Neuling
Nice pick up!

Christian W
The Color combination and the painted grille Looks fantastic. The spare Wheel could be a "as it is". Hard to believe, that it came not with the kit.

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates.
i Always like the spare wheels on the side mounted. the restoration is not perfect but wy better than before.

Nigel Chapman
Looks excellent with all the little details. I like the rubbish bin. Was it scratch built ?

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks Nigel. The rubbish bin is Scratch built with wire for the Frame and real material from a plastic bag

Nigel Chapman
Very clever and effective

Jimmy L
Wow

Munkyslut
Very cool, very creative, another great build Dominik

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much mates

Christian W
How many years is this now? 10? Still love it! The working guy on the engine has to repair his tool trolley I love the Details.

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks Bro.
You are Right. i've build it in 2010, march

Nigel Chapman
Nice and simple. Like it

Christian W
Right. A daily Driver.

Dominik Weitzer
i definitely see on the pictures...i had to be restored.

Christian W
Just a Little touch up I would prefer. Trim and Little stuff. I like the bug deflector. Never saw this on another model kit.

Nigel Chapman
Looks great

Christian W
Ted for president! So cool.

Bill Newcomer
Is this the one with the nice shiny dump beds?

Dominik Weitzer
Dear Bill,
i had to look inside the box.
the Dump beds are not chromed. ist Grey and White plastic

Bill Newcomer
Thanks, I have seen ONE set of chromed dump beds. They looked nice.

Dominik Weitzer
your welcome.
the newer issues (black on the box) has chromed bed parts, but i don't know about the Trailer as it is inside.

Christian W
I think only the Dump truck without the Trailer has the chromed bed. I have one of it and it is chrome.
I thought, this kit would have the same parts. Ts. Good to know.

Brandon H
Very cool!

Stephan H.
Nice trailer combo. Paint finish looks perfect. I only like my panel lines dark, but that proved to be a very controversial topic amongst car model builders.

Spanjaard
picture 15 looks just.... real, wow.

Mike Szwarc
Uber cool!!!

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much!
Stephan, you are Right: Panel lines is a most discussed theme "in our world". today, i engraving them new

István Szücs
What a beauty! I love the open windows and the engine day, especially the fuel lines on the carburetors!

Neuling
This is a real eye catcher.

Chaz Gordon
More outstanding work Dominik. Just love the station Wagons that are out there now. Must put some on my wishlist. Is that trailer to your usual level inside?

Stephan H.
Sorry for double comment. This "internet" ....

Christian W
The 4dr looks like it came out of the mold as is. Very very good transformation to it. The details well as supposed

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates - much appreciated.
Chaz, the Trailer is a diecast from Greenlight. i haven't took a look inside til yet. have to do that

Bob Hall
Looks like the best car in Havana ! LOL !!

Neuling
I absolutely agree with Bob. When I visited Cuba ten years ago looking for those beautiful oldtimers I was very disappointed about the the bad condition of the vehicles. - So your build is realistic!

Dominik Weitzer
thank you!

Nigel Chapman
Don't touch it Dominik, leave it as it is

Rui S
I agree with Nigel.
The teaser photo is just great

Mike Szwarc
Nice work! I love the detritus inside-- the most I've ever thought to do on my beaters is duct tape on the seats.

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much for kind comments - much appreciated!

Nigel, Rui: i leave it as it is decision made.
mike, i Keep that in mind for my next one

Christian W
Beautiful. That's it. I love the interior color to the body color. Simply beautiful. The convertion to T-Top is very good, the details (seatbelts are awesome!) With a lot of love done, but I like the dual exhaust. This is so much better than my stock one.

Nigel Chapman
Yes, very 1980's ! I'm with Christian on the seat belts and T-top. Like your brothers weathering on the chassis

Bill Newcomer
I am am a member of the T-top fan club too.

Dominik Weitzer
Today, I made a step forward to make the double exhaust. Looking good so far.

Dominik Weitzer
Exhaust is ready and painted - like the result.
Also the undercarriage is painted flat black after I worked for the space of the new pipes on the frame.
Last thing...filled the sidewalls with putty, sanded and painted primers I'm fine with it.
Now I have to order the burgundy paint for the interior.

Munkyslut
Yeah that floorpan looks very good, exhaust efforts have paid off, looks very realistic.
One point of note, that GM 700R4 trans pan is absolutely spot on!

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you!
In the meantime, i completed chassis and engine. No fitting problems - so far I like that

Dominik Weitzer
Different Colors of red where delivered yesterday and so I started painting the interior.
To get the "burgundy" matched, I chooses redblack and red from Vallejo.
To make it look like leather (dashboard, upper parts of the doorpanels and rearsides from the seats) I chooses semigloss clear. I like the result.

Dominik Weitzer
Long time on hold - some steps forward.
Interior is done, i mounted the seatbelts to the front seats. Also i completed the interior.
In the meantime, decals are on and the final clear coat more than dry.
It is time for the marriage body with interior :-D

Dominik Weitzer
I totally forgot the finish from the Monte Carlo! Added the last parts on the body and it is ready for show.

Munkyslut
Excellent work Dominik
Bronze cars floorpan is perfecto!

István Szücs
Very nice! What did you use for the seats? They have nice structure.

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you!
@Istvan, these are the original seats of the kit. the have an excellent strukture! The are only painted with flat paint

István Szücs
Thank you, Dominik!

Dominik Weitzer
long time after painting i started the completing. Mounted windows, headlights from inside the body.
my horrible part was, to slip in the undercarriage. specially the rear end, not to stretch the body too wide as the glued and painted bumper is cracking. I really had to talk myself into it ... but it doesn't help! must be finished
At the end, it worked out very well. with no damages till yet. hurrah!

Christian W
Delicious. I like the color of the interior matches so good to black.

Bill Newcomer
I was at my LHS to day (supporting my local economy) and saw this kit on their shelf.

Dominik Weitzer
Bill, I like this kit a lot. It goes together very nice!
Some points to take a closer look:
In the manual, the bumpers should be mounted at last, after interior and undercarriage is mounted in. I took another way.
- before painting I mounted front and rear bumper. To fit perfect, I had to sand the edges so that the parts fit neatly.
- on the rear bumper I needed some putty
- the transition from the bumper to the body was not smooth, I had to grind it.
- Before painting I checked the bonnet. She was a little bit wider and deformed.

Of course, as I mounted the bumpers first, to slip in the undercarriage is a little bit tricky on the back. There it is to go first in place, very carefully.

Christian W
On my body I sanded the engine hood a little narrower to get it fit after the paint is on the body. Without paint there is really little space between the fenders and the hood.
Also I needed putty on the rear bumper to the quarter panels.

Spanjaard
beautiful

Christian W
Sweet

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks

Tom ...
Fantastic!

Ben M
Superb

Bill Newcomer
Nice little Coupe. Good photography as well

Neuling
Another beauty .......

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you!

Christian W
Did someone ever showed this kit? Good.

Munkyslut
Lovely job mate! The murky brown is very realist, I had a '75 Caprice coupe in the late '80's, this car reminds me so much of it

Christian W
Very cool. A grocery getter

Nigel Chapman
You were well ahead of the game ! Looks great

Mike Szwarc
Beautiful job on the flames, and the interior detailing is amazing! Nice work

Spanjaard
excellent job, details and specially paintjob on those flames

Jimmy L
Wow!

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates. much appreciated

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates, much appreciated

Chaz Gordon
Nice interior, great to see a van actually kitted out inside.

Christian W
I think it is the nomad - because of the rear lid. The coupe didn't offer the option to build as a pick up. It doesn't work

Dominik Weitzer
aaaaahhhh....correct. try to change it

Chaz Gordon
Ummmm, Isn't that technically a 55 El Camino?

Nigel Chapman
So is that an El-Nomado or a Nomadino ?

Dominik Weitzer
...now i'm confused how to Name it ...Nomadino...like that

Neuling
Whatever its name: I like it!

Chaz Gordon
Well, the original el Caminos were Nomad based to start with.

Chaz Gordon
Nigel, that was a pretty good deal, surprised I got it for the price. A single unmade kit goes for more. Its an odd lot though, 5 shells, hood and doors, 5 interiors, 4 chassis, 4 engines, 6 dashboards, not a single tyre. Theres an untouched chrome sprue, so i can make all the bumpers and grills in resin. Im planning a camino, a nomad, stock, lowrider and Modern Electric

Skywalker
I remember riding in one of these cars at 130mph!

Nigel Chapman
Chaz that was a brilliant deal. I ended up going for a job lot of 10 kits, luckily I got an excellent price as well. Your choice of builds sounds great especially the Modern electric.

Dominik Weitzer
now i'm interested Chaz

Chaz Gordon
I've started a general Pre-project thread here - to stop hijacking other people's builds with my chatter.
Acquisitions and Mergers | Album by Volvo Man (1:25)

Dominik Weitzer
I've no Problems About hijacking Chaz

Chaz Gordon
Haha, there is an ulterior motive, I get all these good ideas from mates, then I have to try to remember where that reply was posted.

Dominik Weitzer
...hmmmm….i know that from someone…

Christian W
It deserved some detail painting

Nigel Chapman
Excellent job Oskar - my favourite car

Christian W
It's always funny to watch both handling with model kits. Remembers me on our childhood.

Nigel Chapman
Nice one Anton, looks great

Christian W
Nice and fresh.

Nigel Chapman
Now that looks absolutely spot on ! Great colour combo on both

Spanjaard
sweet

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much

James C
That's a stunning looking Charger. Fabulous work Dominik

Christian W
You have to look very sharp to catch, that the first couple of pictures are not black and white! I checked the turn signal and R/T letters in the grille - they are colored! Also the brown steering wheel of the interior shots.

Great work! Chapeau

Tom ...
I love the vinyl roof! stunning!

Nigel Chapman
Now i'm torn between the blue and white one.

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks a lot!

Mike Szwarc
Great idea! The Nomad built into a good-looking pickup.

Nigel Chapman
Looks nice and neat

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks

Stephan H.
Clear coat finish looks nice. And its always nice to have a spare V10 laying around

Bill Newcomer
Very nice!

Nigel Chapman
Damn Domink, you beat me to it! I got a Dodge Viper for the running gear on a future project.
That engine sure looks right in a Chevelle - like it

Spanjaard
certainly looks really good

István Szücs
MOPAR engine in a GM? Great idea, I love it! Also the blue stripes in the interior!

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates, much appreciated.
You're welcome Nigel

jhull123
Whoa! Sweet! Nice work!!! Livin' that van life...

Bill Newcomer
Nice work!

Nigel Chapman
Great scene, love your figures

Neuling
Nice scene, but why are those guys so short legged?

René "Bilbo" Bartholemy
Very nice subject and rendition, but I have the same question.

Erik No
Nice scene, but why don't the boys have lower legs?

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates, much appreciated.
Whats about the figures? the came so...and are on the go

Nathan Dempsey
Nice work Dominik

Check JNCO shorts or jeans and you'll understand why the figures look they way they do. I just assumed they were from LA.

Dominik Weitzer
Something new learned Nathan - Thankyou!

Hawaiin bus with Boys from L.A.

Spanjaard
excellent!

Christian W
I still can smell the coal in the grill

You wrote not much of this .
Am I right that the boys are the only thing on the plate, which are bought? The rest is custom built. Right?

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks Spanjaard, Christian.
Yes, i've build the roofreck, coffeecan on the floor, waterglasses and other stuff for this. The figures and the surfboard is bought.

Christian W
The snap kit is not that far away from the to-glue-brother. The best part on that is, that the front wheels fitting good into the wheelhouse. On my several builds I always had trouble with it. To less experience and to less courage just to cut it and make it fit. Maybe I'll take a hand on mine pairs.

Dominik Weitzer

Treehugger
Nice seeing the inside of the car with photos 6 & 7.

Christian W
Yep, still a cool downsizing

Bob Hall
Don't think I've ever seen a vinyl top fast back before,interesting.

wilky
You can buy a Ford inline six from The Parts Box in Australia

Bob Hall
The Moebius 1970 F-100 has probably the best 240cui strait 6 motor I know of.

wilky
https://thepartsbox.com/shop..s/engine-pursuit-6-cylinder/
I highly recommend anything from The Parts Box
The castings are very crisp and their customer service is very good

Dominik Weitzer
thanks mates!
as i built it, there was no moebius or partsbox on the market .

Alex K
Lovely!

Christian W
Perfection in details
I like the picture #13.

brianireland
Thats lovely work

Mike Szwarc
Interesting idea for a diorama!

István Szücs
Wow, it's really cool, I'm watching!

Nigel Chapman
Ah Dominik, dare to be different!
Really like the rod in it's unfinished state, just like you see on all those custom car TV shows.
With all my unfinished projects I have a complete rod shop and yard out back !!

Dominik Weitzer
Thanks mates. much appreciated.

Christian W
I think Nigel has the same hot rod shop like mine at home

Like it still. Like the details. On the rod or on / in the shop.
