All sorts of whiffy fun to be had with that..... :wacko:

Lovely isn't it.  And its right hand drive of course.
I can see some sort of Despicable Me minion themed build.  Maybe with a fart gun turret on the roof.
Or a Q truck.  Sides drop down to reveal  a quad 50 cal turret for dealing with tailgaters.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Sooty van! All kinds of fun to be had with that one.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That's an odd duck. The proportions look really weird. Is this some narrow-wheelbase special?

Hah, found it:


It's listed as the "quick delivery" variant, based on the HiAce but with a much higher body.

And of course, you can get minions from RetroKit: http://www.retrokitonline.net/index.php?cPath=12&sid=co5t87em395kbq0p33qhutqti1

Not sure how they scale out mind...

Like bus's. Wait for ages and 2 come at the same time  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Woah. :blink:  I'm just in awe at the number of parts going into the wheels! :o

The number of parts in the wheel/tyre units. Just bleeding-well silly IMHO.

I'm with you Jim. That smacks of increasing the parts count just for the sake of it.  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

You guys have better solutions to doing rough-tread tyres in injected plastic, let's hear 'em!  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
