  1. Its probably still in the works, the audi a4s took near 3 years after the test shots to make it to the market
  2. dont fujimi have the esprit? and monogram have a turbo
  3. very cool, not many mk1 golfs in green but i've always liked it. are those wheels from the fujimi mk3 kits?
  4. they were in my spray booth, my camera doesn't like the leds
  5. 7.20 gmt and theres a problem with the unread content menu. the first page of results repeats and nothing from more than 5 hours ago is showing up in the results
  6. me and my friends made one of these into a beach buggy in our early teens, if only we knew what we had as it was in pretty good condition when we got it. we drove the engine out of it (literally, we hit a bump and the engine fell out)
  7. Nunu racecar kit with uscp interior upgrade and a few printed extras. I'll get better pics once i can get it outside
  8. shockingly its comletely box stock after i couldn't find wheels i liked. I tried to give more of a concept car feel. the dark pic shows the colour best
  9. 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
  10. theres a few files available on cults. slowlys models and nahunel customs have them and both do good files.
  11. also, it said there were interchangable sizes and the size you are looking at was one of the sizes
  12. the tyre would be measured to the seat of the bead so being industrial there could be 3 inches behind the rim
  13. that looks ready to fight someone, very cool
  14. https://www.apexway.com.tw/blog-detail/common_wheel_loader_tire_size/
  15. nice work, if it was blue it could be one decaying near me
  16. copper wire was accidentally invented by 2 scotsmen fighting over a half penny
  17. yes, thats the inspiration but i'm going more stock looking
  18. very nice, i'll be able to build a reme beetle now as i have a hasegawa kubelwagen for the chassis
  19. 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
  20. lick them? no sense wasting the flavoured dust
  21. Nice work, i could see this being built on one of tv car shows
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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
