** MODEL NOVA UPDATE WITH PICS! **

[ade]

Well its almost been a year since Trax when the 1st master came out for its viewing and its been a trial of wills to get this far I can tell you!

But here are the latest "almost" finished masters ready for casting. The only amendments are to the underside (tidying up ready for the moulds for the body) and the front GSi bumper which was a little off centre.

oh, and like i said before, they look stunning :wink:

[DirtyDave]

really good like it alot :D

[badnova]

thougth about doin it for radio controlled cars
making a shell for one would be excelent

[J4MES]

that would be awesome, tho isnt the regular sized cars too big for that shell, or would u run a custom chassis???

what scale are the models??

[badnova]

well if it aint the rite size then maybe i might make one

[Mel]

Lads check out the website:

http://www.modelnovas.com/home.htm

[J4MES]

ah thanks couldnt be a**ed to look through the forum to find it cheers....

[badnova]

a bit to small

[J4MES]

make a custom one cus that would be amazing stickered up like a works rally car!!

[badnova]

i might have a go

[Col_Mk1]

i want 1 :D

[badnova]

what u want
ades model or a radio conrolled nova

[ade]

the models are about 1:18 scale - tbh though theyre all hand made so theyre actually about 1:16/1:17 ish! The original wheels came off a TVR 1:18 scale but theyre obviously bigger than the standard 1:18 sacale nova ones would be so the car was scaled up.

:lol:

Anyway - I do have plans to make a radio controlled one sort of 1/4 scale but its taken me long enough to get this far so it'll be a bit off yet.

I have a GTE kit - just adding finishing touches to the front bumpers.

The idea is that you can customise the car to whatever kit, wheels, mirrors, paint job (within reason) you want. Make a model of your own car. The price depends on the complexity of the kit. The basic GSi/GTE model starts at ?60 and comes in a custom box with your cars details on the back in colour. As each one is unique they will also have cert of authenticity.

The overall idea is to make lots of custom kits that you can then purchase and add to the model. Loke a mini body shop just for your model - so as your own car changes, you can mod your model to match! Or you can order another one to match the progress of your cars "mod history"

The body shop idea allows me to fit the parts for you ensuring theyre done accurately. You can also change the paint job!

ALSO - please note the website is wowfully out of date and Ive completely redeveloped it - will be relaunching as soon as its complete (part of it crashed when my PC picked a virus and the cd it was backed up on fecked up!) :evil:

Just need to seal them, clean them up (remove all excess material and fill small bubble imperfections) ready for spraying.

The shells are currently drying in the garage - theyre solid stone cast plaster and need to take their time drying before removing fromthe mould.

Should have the 1st one ready for painting by the weekend!
