crazyjim Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I finished this little guy last week but forgot to post pics. I shot the body with HOK limetime green followed by a coat of Krylon green glitter paint. Pretty wild stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I had one of the Manx kits bookmarked at Model Roundup, but deleted it yesterday as I'm quite sure now that I'll never build one. It certainly reminds me of my youth though, as I built a couple of them way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Love It -the color choices, and the engine detail!! Q: what did you use for the texture on your floorboards?, mine doesn't look that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thank you all very much.Dann the floorboards were shot with texture paint. I think it's Krylon from Wal-Mart. It also looks good as a bedliner and undercoating and comes in a variety of colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Jim I love it! That color is soooo Manx! I have only one "Dune Buggy" kit. The old Tom Daniels Sand Crab which I don't believe ever existed as an actual car. Sure would be fun to build someday as if it were street worthy!
