slotmadmac Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 No. They’re not. Munter’s arches are too pretty to use here. They’re Amato. Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeGas Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Been quietly following this as I don't (didn't) really have time to put into it with trying my hand at resin casting. Then low and behold, enter a zombie apocalypse failure. Was thinking rusted body with a dremel saw blade through the roof section which is strangely straight, and a body hanging through the windscreen. If I get to it that is. 2 Quote Cheers Grant .

mattcrackers Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 After seeing Mac's build it gave me some inspiration to start a fugly car. Not trying to steal your thunder either Mac, just had this laying around. A dodgy cast ZB resin body, some wheel arches and one of those $7 Avant Slot chassis from a few years back which will fit the wheelbase of the ZB. Thought I'd use some SCX Raid tyres as well, maybe even give it a a 2" lift kit as well. Here's the body with the wheel arches fitted. The Avant chassis, which will have longer axles fitted and the front stub axles removed. And the car just sitting on the chassis for now until the mechanics fit the lift kit. Now it is a Commodore, and I'm a Ford man so does this count as Fugly?. Will have to add some ugliness to it somehow, any ideas?.

mtpanorama Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 I was thinking this but looking at what is being built maybe not. I think it is FuglyCool though.

mattcrackers Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Made my own, when you start playing with resin you need to have small pieces to use the excess. Try and keep the waste to a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeGas Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yeah sorry, was meant to be a tongue in cheek comment. Almost all entrants have some form of wheel arch, as if that makes a vehicle ugly.
