Harry P. Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) What do you say to this one? The answer: REAL! Edited March 14, 2008 by harrypri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Auto Industry Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's real. I'm not sure if fine, powdery beach sand can be done in small scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's real. I'm not sure if fine, powdery beach sand can be done in small scale. Ah, so you're ASSUMING that the stuff in the photo is "fine powdery beach sand"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinm Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Real . No tire marks where the tires would cross the sand, but the head rests look really 3d. -kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm going with model. It just looks too clean to be real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronster Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm going with model. But very well done! If real, the fear of screwing up the paint would be too great to drive it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If it's really on beach sand, somebody sure cleaned the heck out of those tires just for the shot. However, manipulating the background is fair game here, so it could go either way. I'll go real due to the detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 model!! looks like an r/c unit! a very well done unit!! If you mean the Baja 5B, this would have to be a full out upgraded one. I've never seen an RC like this, everything about it to me says real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgefever Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm saying model; it may be a red herring but I can't see any lug nuts on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starliner Kustoms Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm going to say MODEL. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticgas Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Stu, it could be a spindle mount and pin drive system. If this thing is real that the person or people who created it are very talented and that kind of system would be a cakewalk. Of course, if it's a model, all bets are off! Definately a fishy picture though. Clean tires, the sand has no tracks, though they could have cleaned them up for the pic, or Harry could have cleaned them. Yup, I'm definately, almost positively, sorta, kinda, maybe, possibly, going with, ummmmmmmmm, real.........maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgefever Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 That did cross my mind, but on balance I thought spindle mount wheels on a dune buggy seemed odd. Then again, I have no interest in dune buggies, so what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
