Nosferatu

I added a hatch to get to the engine. A VW engine wouldn’t fit so I used a Corvair 6 banger instead.

I found some seats to recycle and a home made dash from styrene and dash parts. I will need to putty all the imperfections in the dash. Dave

Thanks for you comments!

Ksnow, I had seen that online. It’s really cool. I like how the bug can turn around while it’s attached to the trailer.

Espo,thanks for the heads up on the pic in this mag I will check it out.

Thanks for all you kind comments! I am looking forward to this challenge.

My friend sent me this pic of a VW van pulling a VW camper. I have had a couple VW van models that I had been thinking on what to do with them for a coupe years. After I saw his email with the pic that sealed it! The pic: Of course I will be adding my own touches. After about an hour or so I had this. It was made from the Tom Daniels Baja Beast. The other van (not shown) is a 23 window partial glue bomb. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. All constructive criticism welcome. Dave

Nice work! I love that color. Looking forward to the finish line!

You could cut out a Vee in the center of the hood but not all the way to the front and clamp it back together. Then add some half round for the ridge.

Beautiful work. That paint is flawless! I was at the Desert Classic show and somehow I missed this model. Dave

I put in a few more hours on this. I scratch built the rails and they just need to be chromed. I also painted the boom and added the chain and hook. Thanks for looking Dave

Thanks again for the nice comments!

Awesome work!! it’s so nice to see another generation getting into model building. Your daughter is showing a lot of talent. Keep up the great work! Dave

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. These years are very versatile for builds. Dave

This came out excellent! Many models are challenging, but that's the fun of it.

I would like to see 1/25th scale stock motorcycles like - Panheads, Knuckleheads, Flatheads, Sportsters, Triumphs and BSA's.

Thanks again guys for your comments. The boom is all done except for the sanding and finishing touches. I used 40 pieces of styrene and one chain for this. Thanks again for looking. Dave

Thanks for your kind comments! I really appreciate them. I did a bit more work on the bed. I added a bed interior. I also put the first coat of gold on the wheels, they aren't glued so they are a bit askew. The fenders are all puttied and I have added half round to them for the pads. I started the boom using flat styrene. There's a lot of bracing to go. Thanks for looking Dave

Nice work! The chassis looks great. Too bad about the warpage, hopefully you can fix it. That box art is killer!

I love all the attention to all the detail you are putting into this. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Not bad for your first casting. Definitely an interesting shaped car. I like the three headlights and the very different rear end.

Nice color blue! This is going to be a beauty!

Here's my '41 Woodys, chopped and shortened.

Thanks to all for your kind comments! Dave

My son was very impressed! He is working on next Xmas' challenge.
