A little walkthrough of the Volvo I've been putting together.

WOW. Stunning work.

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

Thanks!

[@tcarney57]

This is really nice work! I've had my eye out for a 245 kit model for years now. I don't think I'll ever find one.

This Project is really Amazing ..!

Hay, very nice work! I liked the bracing under the hood aka bonnet.

Bello

[@user-zm4ik1sb2i]

is there a video from start to finish? 😁

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

Sadly not- I don't run a time lapse cam while building.

[@LeMans512]

I don’t get it. It takes skill and talent to create a model from scratch. Of all the cars ever made why choose something as mundane and ridiculed as a Volvo wagon? A beautiful job.

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

Haha!! Good point! It was my family car growing up... and mundane is somehow more real than fancy.

Where do you get the plans for these?

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

Google will find blueprints for most vehicles, then scale them down. Helps to use a lot of 1:1 photos too.

How much for an ecto 1 cadilac

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

That's a great idea! Been busy with work recently but I'll put it on the list...

[@runesvensson1244]

Why 1:9 ?

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

To match Tamiya Toyota Hilux bodies- many "1/10" RCs are actually 1/9 and it's nice when all your scale garage is the same scale.
