knight rider online

i saw this site with a guy who did a kitt model with light up scanner and interior and even images on the tv screens check it out and drool http://mywebpages.comcast.net/johnwbm/

Major Mega Ditto's on that one! I wonder if he'd do contract work on some of the many KITT models I have?

Dave

that's...so...cool.

The guy did a wonderful job on the model, going to such extents, and all.

As a modeler myself, I am astounded to see a great job on KITT. I haven't seen anyone put optics on theirs until now. WOW! I just got the new AMT release, and will at least get the scanner lit on mine. [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

I wish this guy had an E Mail address to send comments to. This is really a great job! How did you find the site?

Males our Corgi KITT's look cheap and nasty!!

Behemoth

That's one heck of a model. I wish I could do something like that!

Thnx for the link!

As i have mentioned on this site before it is very possible to do,it's not
easy but doable.Thanks to this site i had someone from this site (i guess
[img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] )E-mail me and made me an offer that i could not refuse to buy my
kitt.Well now i have a new one in the works and some extra (little)cash.Just in
case No this one is not for sale as i will not do any more.I could try and
borrow a camera and take some pics of what i have started to do.

This is another cool site.
Maybe we will see Kitt on it someday ?
Lego models

I had forgot about this thread.
Always nice to see that model of KITT, wow...i love it!!!
Dave Whiteheart,did you ever get hold of the guy who done the original model???


K.I.T.T

[ October 15, 2002: Message edited by: K.I.T.T ]

i found his site through www.culttvman.com in his scifi tv section but all i know is his name is john millspaugh and he doenst have an email address, but i think if you go to the main sight the webmaster of the site may be able to give you johns email

WOW...that car is dang fine! What an incredible job he did...I wish we could find his e-mail address or contact info. I'd love to send him comments on his work.

Hmm, the site is blank, I can't see anything!

Use "copy" & "Paste" if that link is blank

i agree with behemoth, an incredible kitt model such as that one really makes my corgi look lousy [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

Hehe

good god! i wonder how long *that* took?!

did you see his comment about the finish on the model? he's not 100% happy with the smooth finish, says he is "still learning"... well, from what i saw it's damn perfect! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

That's one great looking model! I have a model of the USS Enterprise, lit with fiber optic cables, that's half finished, has been for some time. I'm afraid to continue since the easy parts are done and I'm scared to death of damaging the thing! Some day... [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks, I like my model too.
Was fun, my second knight rider to date.

Can't wait for the game and movie!

easy to get at http://www.thefiberopticstore.com/FOS-mainpage.htm

and the scanner is at http://www.knightlight.co.uk

Nice to see you, John. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

The man's a wizard at models, folks. I should know...I'm proud to call him "friend". [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

*Cough*

I derived this guys E Mail address and E Mailed him with some questions as how he made it, etc... here is part of the reply that he sent me... including his E Mail address so you can also tell him what a great job he did. I even liked the little movie clip that he did of the car... here is the E Mail...

He gives great advice... I sent another E Mail asking if he intended on doing one of the Knight Rider 2000 car. There hasn't been a reply as of yet to that question.

I failed to inquire if he will try to take a K.I.T.T. model and make a K.A.R.R. out of it.


Anyways.. have a good un' [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
