Working on Ron, Interior and Engine For The Revell Go-Mad Nomad For The 2022 Deformed Cartoon Group

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

Today I thought I would paint Ron, The Californian surfer dude, the Go-Mad Nomad interior and glue the chrome plated engine together. 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 interior consists of multiple parts including the interior pan with molded on seat back, floor, cargo bay, and dashboard. Ron consists of a lot of parts including his 2-part head, right and left hands with the left holding the steering wheel, a gear shift lever and a pair of clear plastic racing glasses. 

The 3-piece blower and 2-piece chrome scoop are fun to build and will fit in the depressed area in the top of the hood. The alignment geometry of these parts have some "play" in them so that you can align the big "Bug Catcher" to the top of the blower. Out back lies a 3-piece Boogie Board with a fin and a propeller which also glues to the interior pan in the cargo area.

The interior features no decals, but I added some from extra decal sheets in my parts box.

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!
