I got some bench time this past weekend and worked the kit onto a Tamiya Bug. I choose it as it gives me the option to detail under the bonnet and to use the Blackbox 3d printed motor and transmission. Took a little work to get the fenders to fit in the front, sanding and shaping, as well as the back fenders. The biggest adjustment came to the engine cover. I had to narrow it on each side to line up proper on this body. Easily done, and anyone who has done any sort of scratch building/modifying can do this. I think in all from cutting off the fenders of the plastic kit to adjusting the 3d parts to gluing them on was less than an hour total. The photo with it in primer is with 1 coat of spray can primer to see how thinks lined up and look. I have been mocking up/modifying suspension height on this and have printed a set of one-off directional sand tires for the rear and skinny balloon style tires for the front with a set of my Jackman rims. I will keep posting here as progress is made. Great transkit from Texas 3d Custom/Charles, much needed in the VW builder's community! Thanks!!

OK, then put me down for a set of the body parts and suspension parts. Thanks Larry

Looks great! If you can get it to fit the Tamiya Bug kit as well, you have a real winner on your hands! I would buy the 3d files, if you make them available, so I could print some for my builds. Thanks Larry

Steve, what are you looking for? I have some rims that might work - www.finksgarage.com

23 Window VW Van
Finks Garage replied to Finks Garage's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks all! I have a double cabin the works. Hope to have it done soon and will share it as well. Larry -
Had a lot of fun with this one. Paint if House of Kolor gloss black on the roof and Gold on the body. The body got a little gold sparkle pearl added and a very small touch of root beer candy to the clear to give some depth to the color. Lowered and added some of my 3d printed rims shot with molotow thru the airbrush. Detail Junkies license plates (Road Trip seemed a fitting one for this ride) and one of their plate surrounds and photo etched rear hatch emblems. Just a clean fun build. Hope you enjoy. Thanks Larry

New VW rims from Finksgarage
Finks Garage replied to Finks Garage's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Mike, I don't have any engines poured at this time. What I list on my eBay store is what I have cast and ready to ship. I am slowly getting back to the shop after a serious battle with Covid19. I should have some available later this fall. Thanks -
I have ventured into the 3d printed world now and am offering several sets of VW specific rims. Wide 5 lug and small 4 lug and 5 lug. The rims fit the tires that are in most current and vintage VW kits. (as shown in the photos) I do NOT offer tires, just the rims. I have deep dish version of all these waiting to print, if enough interest is there. My web site has more details. Thanks

Here is the assembled Kombi. It is box stock outside of the resin body. I didn't realize the windows were as scratched as they were till after I glued them in and the drivers door handle fell off between completing the build and these photos. I have a nice set of black plate California tags still to add to it.

‘72 to ‘76 Dodge Club Cab
Finks Garage replied to tuffone20's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Those look great! -
Thanks guys. I got one in paint over the weekend and hope to have it finished by the end of this week to show as a built example.

The resin VW Kombi represents a 1964 thru 1967 VW. Mastered by Dave Carnevale and cast by me (Finks Garage). It fits the Hasegawa kit and the one piece VW Van body kits by Revell (Not the multi piece Revell kits).

Jon I make several rim sets and an engine kit for VW models. www.finksgarage.com

This had been a long project. Stalled for one reason or the other over the years. I finally got it off the bench and finished this spring. I combined a 21 window bus front with the rear of the single cab kit. I wanted a long bed double cab. Sitting on a set of 3D Scale Parts rims and tires, lowered and weathered using Vallejo paints and washes.

Scott, I sell what I sell, I show photos of the parts I sell as you see above on my eBay listings. I do open back molds for my rims. The end user has to sand the back to remove some flash. These aren't rejects. If you don't like them, don't buy them. And thanks for the resin casting lesson. Been doing this since the late 90's, I got this. Larry -

I haven't cast anything in awhile. I don't have any of the Jackmans in my poured inventory or for that fact any of the deep dish rims. If life slows down a little in the coming weeks I might see if my stock of resin is good and pour up some.
