  1. Got some colour on the bug. VW Meerblau rattle can went on really nice apart from a small run under the headlight. Thanks for looking Lee
  2. Got this old Chevy van at a show last year. I started by putting the chassis together and searched my parts box for some Cragar five spokes and some tires. The fronts are from the Revell 68 Dodge Dart and the rears are from an AMT Impala I have cleaned up the body and removed the badges. I have laid down a silver flake base coat and put on some graphics using clear yellow, orange and red. Still lots to do. Thanks for looking Lee
  3. Thats a cool engine set up. And the mockup looks brilliant
  4. Small Update Got some primer on the bug after I have filled the indents for the chrome trim. Still some cleaning up to do. I have put the side panels together and filled all the ejector pin marks, and there are plenty! Also filled all the seams and had test fit with the body and it fits nicely. Thanks for looking Lee
  5. Great start the stance is spot on.
  6. I have just started this Revell 1/16 scale beetle. Decided to build an old school cal looker. Got some 2d printed Fuchs alloys from 3d scale parts, they needed a bit of work to get them under the rear arches but I got there. I lowered the front by turning the trailing arms and then I had to put a wedge plate under the mounting point so the camber was corrected and the wheels sit in the arches properly. Now on with the body work. Thanks for looking Lee.
  7. Fantastic progress, can't wait to see it finished
  8. Thanks for the cool comments guys
  9. Here is my first completion of the year. Galaxy kit lowered with scratch built trailing arms and airbag rear it's as low as it can go now as the gearbox crossmember touches the floor. Wheels are from the Revell 49 Mercury kit. The paint is a custom mixed and then cleared with Tamiya TS13 clear. Thanks for looking Lee
  10. Nice work on the chassis. The channel on the body looks spot on
  11. Finished this one last year used a drag city casting body with dark emerald green candy paint.
  12. You do know not everyone can get these? They are not available in the UK
  13. A bit fiddley the joints are not great lots of test fitting. The mounting holes for the ladder bars are huge so I had to double check they were all in line and then I filled the gaps and sanded smooth
  14. I've just started this Atlantis yellow fever Fiat. I have widened the rear wheels to fit the slicks from a Revell 68 Dart kit and also got some 3d printed twelve spokes from 3d scale parts. Put the basic chassis together along with the front and rear axles. Thanks for looking Lee

  24. Just finished the Austin. Monogram kit with the engine from the AMT 33 Willys with scratch built engine mounts and gearbox crossmember. Wheels are drag city casting Radirs.
