Today I am carrying on with building my Dave Deal Go-Mad Nomad model kit! 

Today I thought I would share how I built the chassis of this shrunken 1957 Chevrolet Nomad. This video does show the techniques I am using, but really, it's your ticket to spend 30 minutes with me in this fun little build. 

The chassis consists of multiple parts including the chassis pan with molded on oil pan, transmission, drive shaft, differential and rear springs. you get a pair of lovely chrome front leaf springs, shocks, and exhaust manifolds. The 3-piece and 4-piece wheels are fun to build and are connected through solid plastic axles with knurled ends. The alignment geometry of these parts are solidified with the wheels backs, springs, shocks, and the length of the axle itself. Out back lies a pair of wheelie bars which were a bit tricky to glue in due to their attachment to the chassis at only one point. 

So my good friends Papa Dan and Col. Reb are hosting a group build for the month of September 2022 called the 2022 Deformed Carton Group Build.

In this group build, you can submit a video of a model that you want to build, and then progression videos of your work as you go along. 

The details for the group build can be found on the HobbyTime With PapaDan's YT Channel here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiF0yjtAnMkzIrj6HIHcEKw

I am not hosting this Group Build, but I thought I would enter for something quick and fun to do while my kids return to school. 

The model I want to build is the Go-Mad Nomad by Revell. 
The kit was originally released in 1969, 1970 and again in 2014 and was designed by cartoonist Dave Deal.
My kit is the 2014 edition.  

The Dave Deal Go-Mad Nomad model kit is part of a series of cartoon cars such as the ZZZZZ-28, '57 Chevy, Trans Um Tirebird, Spits Fire, The Baron and Van model kits which were part of the Deal's Wheels model kit series.

Revell Dave Deals Wheels Model Kits are quite simple to assemble, and a joy to paint. The instruction sheet reads more like a Saturday Morning Cartoon than serious model car instructions. The "Story" for this instruction sheet is all about a Surfin' Hippie that gets lost somewhere in the country and asks a local farmer for directions to the beach. 

For a full examination of this model kit, check out my unboxing video found here : https://youtu.be/Yx6QGqy5Oq4

Good luck on your model kit build and we'll see you on YouTube!
