a little more progress. i trimmed one chassis? rail to clear the engine and the rear seats are very close to lining up with the door trim so i've been adjusting that. since the trim is so clse i'll swap to the audi front seats too

theres a few files available on cults. slowlys models and nahunel customs have them and both do good files.

also, it said there were interchangable sizes and the size you are looking at was one of the sizes

the tyre would be measured to the seat of the bead so being industrial there could be 3 inches behind the rim

that looks ready to fight someone, very cool

nice work, if it was blue it could be one decaying near me

copper wire was accidentally invented by 2 scotsmen fighting over a half penny

yes, thats the inspiration but i'm going more stock looking

very nice, i'll be able to build a reme beetle now as i have a hasegawa kubelwagen for the chassis

as you may be able to tell, i completely forgot the first line of the post and was refering to chip and pretzel dust, lol

lick them? no sense wasting the flavoured dust

Nice work, i could see this being built on one of tv car shows

its a scam and if it worked it would be illegal in the same way those code grabbers car theives use are. just owning one proves intent to steal copyrighted material

this one is faster than a lotus f1 car (in a straight line only) well i tried to share a link but since it involves alcohol it wouldn't let. stupid youtube rules, lol. just search for aardbeg tracTOUR and it pops up

thanks guys. I cant take the credit for the roof conversion though, i'm using the same parts Claude did as they worked so well on his

A couple of years back Claude Thibodeau shared a custom new beetle van he had built. The idea has sorta festered until a couple of days ago when my alpine hit a pause (i like to do foil in the sunshine)so it hit the bench. I'm using the rear roof from a revell pt cruiser snap kit and the rest is mostly tamiya new beetle. Now in the vw tuner scene theres a custom style called oem+ and means all the parts come from mostly higher end vw group cars, though some ferrari and mercedes wheels are ok, so thats the style this will be getting. To acheive this i have removed the rear seat from an audi e-tron and used 3d printed seats from blackbox for the fronts. The wheels will be resin bentley continentals. at the moment i'm filing the body to match the bug as the cruiser is much rounder than the bug and this has to look unmodified. The engine is a 3d printed vw r32 vr6 and i might canabalise a fujimi kit to get the 4x4 parts. i want this to appear stockish when its finished

cool wee (small) off roader. my local bus company used one of these as their tow truck for the buses even though they had a proper old army scammell tow truck

if your kit is anything like their a truck you have lots of test fitting to do. every part needs some extra work and your very likelly to find some parts are incomplete on the sprues. my truck had one door that was incomplete too and the front wheels are too small. i've seen some built up nice but with all its problem mine went back in the bx

the ww1 british army used cut down rolls royce as trucks and ambulance. the over engineering worked well and they also armoured them

norm should have got his own show instead of frasier

get one of these and you can brush resin on to repair it. its as easy as brush it on, cure for a minute and repeat until its built up enough. the best bt is it wont fall off and no problems with filler sticking and all for 3 bucks. you can also use the same method to stick back the delamination and if your worried about further delamination you can brush a skin of resin over the inside of hiddens areas https://www.amazon.co.uk/Light-Foldable-Chips-Salon-Narootedkv06rt38e-13/dp/B0D2WLW1FB/ref=sr_1_18?crid=19FAHG0ZITCZE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uLR2khOvP01OyiGyO4nUD0lcnMxwmGf9Ho9o9MbPXGy6CVAlFeFlesYg-9OH7R0r0nr2IpzKsMBd7plIFKILYYQWSn8iah_KQWjwGEy27AxYrIJ0pvGjEqSz0YqL20ltzMw__CskEH2x5RlHAXmm2wZ4Vi5T3RH2GkQX0gxFvbeTt_8GmRjHNU5XRbHs7aEvXNbRZWNv6lsFOUlqcXko28aP3UniucjRroYoz7LcsI7nixzdSeufjs9rbIgu6P2ZYd1Pwh_aRkv7a2iR7fl4VINwBRCC6HrGFYRifG6Pzes.CFDyKN3dsMgiJTyx8VYhnAUMzW5mhjO269lslKrygY4&dib_tag=se&keywords=uv+nail+lamp&qid=1727642873&sprefix=uv+nail+lamp%2Caps%2C338&sr=8-18

If i was doing this i'd probably leave the trim and just fill the door gaps as the trim itself looks pretty close and may be correct once the door is stretched. But the top fin i would replace from front to back just to make it one piece and it would allow it to be shaped off the car which would be simpler initially.
