"Walker" Coyne?
All plastic -- all built from scratch!
The tires came from a 1/20th-scale kit that has been discontinued for some time. I took one of the tires (and other parts ) and sent it to my sponsor (who molds parts ) and had him mold them for me so that I can keep building off-road models . Before molding, I had to buy many 1/20th-scale kits just for tires (seeing I didn't build in 1/20th-scale, it was $$$ me a lot ).
But even still, on the average model there's about $60.00 worth of model kits in just one car. Each model kit runs about $13.00.
The Class One car (being scratch built ) still has at this time seven model kits in it. Example: Engine block is from a sprint car, motor parts came from two NASCARs, dash from a rally car … you can get the idea.
Wait ‘til I start on Walker Evan's old Dodge -- that should come out really cool. I'm also working on Robby Gordon’s Red Bull TT, and an older Bronco that will have a T-T style front clip and rear panels and all-tube chassis, as well as center mounted A-arms and four-link rear end. Until my molder can get around to making me some smaller scale tires, I can only build large size cars.
No Bajas or Rangers for a while.
