This is another truck I built. I saw some pictures online of an original bug done this way and thought it might works on the new beetle. It has an engine from a fujimi porsche 911 flipped 180 in the bed, and I tried to add airlines for the suspension and brake pipes. I'd like to do another of this, but make it a 6 wheel mini semi with some kinda trailer but it wont be for a while.

Thanks guys

I'm in the far north, on the orkney islands

Cheers mate, I was worried about chopping it but it went better than I expected

thanks guys

Neat, I've never seen one of these built, and you did a good job

Sweet build

Great job, she has a good taste in colour too

I read somewhere about office workers having raised desks that they stand at. I believe the reason was to cut the number of dodgy backs from sitting hunched over all day. If I remember correctly it cut the number of sick days for backs, by about half

Nice details, I particularly like the broken mirror glass with the workings exposed.

If you look on some of the japanese kit sale sites, a lot of them say if they come with left or right dashes. Hasegawa and aoshima tend to include both.

Very cool build and concept, I made mine into a coe pick up when I did one

awesome, I love the imagination that's in it

One of the japanese companies does a 70's skylark. I saw one on ebay last night but it was in austrailia

revell.de used to do a few corrado kits but they are all over $100 now and amt did the scirocco

I finished this a couple of weeks ago and this is my favourite view of it. Going to build another at some point in the future

Early mk1 ford transit with a petrol engine. the diesel had a trout pout grille that came out level with the lights. think they came out in very late 60;s up until mid 70's when the mk2 was released. as a side note it was the most common get away vehicle for bank robberies in the uk due to its car handling and speeds. couldn't say for sure what year it is

Looking pretty good mate, looking forward to the next instalment

Nice work, the gold really suits it and the engine is just like a bit of jewellery

Cool

Sweet
