The Old Bonanza is my all time favorite car in this style anyway.. I'm currently almost finished building this car in my version as I write this..i have paint laid and ready to clear coat and I have every documentation copy of Swedens magazines covering Krom Fritte build step by step along the way.Its in Sweden to which i can't read but it sure is fun looking at the pics..The car was built in the 80s.it took me years upon years to get the magazines but it paid off with patience

I said in 2014 SS had NO idea, even a slight one, of what he was up against. A new kit requires a team and buckets of money and time. I HAVE manufactured my own kits, in resin, and until you do that and work for a major plastic kit company.....he will never have a grip on the scope of a new kit. Sorry to those taken......but saw it coming.....

Well, I have to admit that I would probably not buy a new and improved UCT - even though it was only 25 bucks. That car just doesnt do anything for me.... I feel sorry for all of you guys though, that were hoping for e new and improved UCT kit. IMO the Old Bonanza built by Kromfritte in Sweeden, looks so much better. Of course it is heavily inspired by the UCT, but IMO it is just so much better.... What a cool build! I've never seen this one before. KILLER!

How many people would be interested in having an Uncertain T body resin or 3d Print? Just curious...1/24 or 1/8

How many people would be interested in having an Uncertain T body resin or 3d Print? Just curious...1/24 or 1/8 I'd buy multiples IN A SHOT! I don't mind working with either resin OR a 3D printed version - whatever makes sense cost wise, I guess. Bear in mind, if you're gauging interest, the board is pretty slow this time of year apparently and picks up as we come into autumn...a periodic bump of this post definitely won't hurt. I have no idea what even goes into modelling something that complex - I've been messing with simple shapes like tyres and some wheels - and even THOSE take me multiple hours. It'd be really fun to follow along on the process - going from a blank screen, to a 3D model, to a 3D print to a resin body. I hope you get some interest in this! Seems like Steve Scott had about 300 preorders at one point...so there's SOME demand anyway

How many people would be interested in having an Uncertain T body resin or 3d Print? Just curious...1/24 or 1/8 How hard would it be to do it in both scales? Me personally it would be 1/8th Course I'd rather have a model of Bobby Nune's Leg Show T

Not hard at all. I'm a 1/8 fan, but I think more would like the 1/24 scale. Not a problem at all otherwise. Just more money.

I guess the beautiy of designing parts how Mike does, i.e. digitally, is that you can scale them up and down pretty easily - a 1/8th design could become a 1/25th design could become a Hot Wheels, could become 1/4 or even bigger!
I'd probably choose 1/25th over 1/24th too, personally, small though the difference is...

Correction on my part would be to take the model to a 1/25 scale! I wouldn't want to go out of the standard scale sizes. Thanks for catching that!😀

I like the car, But I would not pay $200 for an unbuilt original. No reason to double, or triple that for a re-pop. Sorry guys, But before I'd go that far in 1:25, I'd scratch it in 1:8 We know it can be done... Hey Brother Chuck! Brother Bill is spot on .. If you are tired of waiting just build your own !

Yep! Mike sells them in his Ebay store (which has a bunch of cool stuff aside from Showrod things) ebay.com/usr/3dscalepartsI’ve got one here waiting for me to gradually collect enough parts to build it 😫😂
