here's an update of my model nova - on a set of chromed 20's!

8)

These wheels were pinched off a remote controlled new style mini - a little big but gives the whole model a new look!

Going to take my 1st cast this weekend hopefully, discovered the model isnt wide enuff in places so will need to fatten it up a bit, then I can really start of the detail

Those wheels dont half stand out with the colour of the nova. Those tinted windows are a strange breed. :lol:

Looks good mate.

Americans - taken that too far (well cool though!)

My idea is to make custom novas of peoples cars - or of novas youve seen and would like a model of one.

All hand made - you simply send me pics of the car you want, I take the basic shell (mk1 or mk2) and add the relevant customised parts to it - eg bumpers, wheels, side skirts, spoilers etc - all in the colour of the car you want (hopefully). the model will initially be the extdrnal skin so windows will be totally tinted out but future plans include opening bonnet, hatch, doors and interior...

Planning on doing remote controlled ones eventually

Coz theyre custom hand made jobs prices will start from about ?50/?60 - depending on the kit - not too sure how long they will take to make - shouldnt take that long as the basic shell will remain the same, its just the customised bumpers - and there arent that many about so i can make up moulds.

They will come mounted and boxed.

Hope to have some ready for September for Traxx.

I'd pay that for a customised model of my car.

Could we rebook them into the 'model workshop' to add future modifications/ Mine would be going back every week at the moment.

Techie - dont see any reason why "upgrades" cant be done.

Woiuld prob be as simple as ordering the part and sending it out to you.

mmm

Might do that actually - choose the part you want and customise the car...

Thats actually a ruddy feckin excellent idea.

(writes idea down and logs on to copyright site to add to idea list!)
