Immo Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Comin' in quite late, one year after discontinuing of the original set, but still quite hot - I give you the Bootleg Belle, a monstrous desert hot rod on steroids. Forget the stance, omit the channeling, leave out the chopping. Stacking a classic 1930's coupé on top of a 1940's truck's slanted chassis, adding 9' diameter wheels and a monstrous supercharged mountain V8 created this pinnacle of Kustom Kulture. Bootleg Belle is a moonshine hauler at a size of a small mountain that gives you a nice sense of superiority, even if you are a modest bloke. With two meters of metal framework under your butt you know who is the king of the desert now. Features: ► mountain V8 cammer engine with moving pistons ► blower with rotating pulley + Enderle-style bugcatcher & twin carb ► radiator with reinforced grille ► ribbed hose headers and shotgun exhausts ► working differential and transmission ► working steering connected to steering wheel and a rear facing HOG ► detailed cockpit with a steering wheel, dashboard, gear shifter and two seats ► opening, functional trunk ► rear hinged ("suicide") doors with shaved handles ► individual suspension for each wheel ► reinforced bumpers ► rear view mirrors, desert safety flag 42000 C-model, uses around 92,5% of set's parts (loose assumption). Sorry for the quality of photos, still can't afford a decent camera. Edited November 19, 2017 by Immo Quote
Jim Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Very nice creation!! The pictures are okay, don't worry. The 42000 is a fine model for C-modeling! Quote
Immo Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks, Jim! With the camera in my smartphone I can't actually crop the photos right so they totally fail to show the size of the model. I had no matchstick or any common coin at my disposal to show size by comparison, but that thing is quite huge - about 45 studs long. Quote

Jim Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Maybe we can use banana as a size limit for the next competition? Cubic banana Quote
