Rat Fink, the one and only.
Really enjoyed building Scuz Fink, and Brother Rat was fun too.

Unlike the Hawk Weird-Ohs, the actual sculpts of the Revell "Big Daddy" Roth kits were extremely well done and fully up to the quality of the box art. Here are some great examples built by our fellow UMA member Zombywoof:

We're eagerly awaiting your finished results!

In the meantime, we still need a picture of a finished Mother's Worry kit in this thread. Here's one built and customized by Weldonmc:

Wow, Rat Fink contest.
hmmm
Favorite is Fink Eliminator, the box art alone on both the  original and then the Lodela and then the 1990 box are amazing.
Mother's Worry next favorite, wish they would have kept the wolf sculpture like the box pic instead of the rounded out ears and goofy fat jaw but he is still cool
Scuz Fink  box art is super cool as is bizarre kit.
Drag  Nut
and of course the elusive RAT FINK IN LOTUS FORD.

wait till I get my hands on one, you will see my collection  then.

My favorite kit is, of course, the classic original Rat Fink.  But the Scuz Fink, hands down has the most beautiful box art!
Title: Re: What are your favourite Revell "Big Daddy" Roth model kits?
Post by: Hepcat on September 22, 2013, 07:51:28 AM
Rat Fink and Scuz-Fink are also the two runaway leaders in the voting so far.

Rat Fink is running away with the Gold here while Scuz-Fink seems to be a lock for the Silver.

One of my favorite of Big Daddy's creations that did not make the list was
"Druid Princess".  This was the car he was building for the Addams Family, and I love the coffin he used as a gas tank housing.

Why do you believe he was building it for The Addams Family?

???

A model kit of the Druid Princess would have been boss but Revell didn't choose to issue one:

Big Daddy roth himself made the claim. ABC officials had approached him to build a counter to the Munster Koach, but the series was cancelled before the vehicle was completed. I had not realized that Revell never offered the Druid Princess as a kit.

Another fab "Big Daddy" Roth custom car that didn't get turned into a model kit by Revell was the Orbitron:

The Druid Princess was featured on the cover of the February 1967 Drag Cartoons. Here's a scan of my copy:

Scuz-Fink is semi-comfortably in front of Surfink for the Silver here. This additional interpretation of Surfink by fabled "Big Daddy" Roth artist Wes Bennett(?) may give Surfink a boost in the voting though:

How long did it take you to assemble it? Was a "Big Daddy is Our Leader" flag included with the kit parts?

Thanks! I spent two or three months on the kit. I'm slow.

Yes, that's the kit's "leader" flag with the recessed letters filled in and a custom decal applied. I followed the box art for everything else.
