I call it THE BEAST. It's a 1/24 scale 3D printed body. The whole thing is painted with a paint brush. The patina is done with a craft sponge. The engines are two Black Box STL twin turbo 572 Big Block Chevy engines. The middle part of the frame is made from scratch but the front and rear of the frame is a modified 1980 Jeep Honcho kit frame. The hubcaps are 1980 Dodge Ramcharger kit hubcaps. The tires are Hot Wheels Monster Truck tires. The rear axle is a modified Nahuel Customs skull rear axle. The interior is scratch built. The bone seat is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The Stop Sign is one of my own designs and is 3D printed. The other 3D printed items are a Beer Keg, a Jim Beam bottle, a backpack, a milk crate, a skateboard, a Funko person painted to look like me, an acoustic guitar, a softball, a Rubik's Cube, a Playstation Portable, a pair of headphones, a cinder block that the Stop Sign is leaning against, a Marvel Comics Number One comic book, and the chain link steering wheel. The trophy is pulled from a model kit. The magazines are ones I custom designed. I tried to add school accessories to the interior. The only two accessories that are more college dropout items are the Beer Keg and the Jim Beam bottle. The person figure is a 1/24 scale 6 feet tall. The body is also 1/24 scale so if it was a real bus it would definitely have one hell of a chop to it.

I call it WAR MACHINE. It's my Vietnam War veteran tribute build. It started out as a Revell 1968 Volkswagen Beetle. I cut off the fenders and the running boards. The wheels are Daft Designs Black Rhino Armory wheels with vintage military tires and are printed in flexible black resin. The body, front hood, interior, front axle, rear suspension, wheels are all hand painted in an acrylic craft paint called Foliage Green. The star on the side is painted on using a stencil and a paint brush. The front axle is a Matty's Custom Scale design and purchased from Iceman Collections. The engine is a Black Box STL Flat 4 engine with a turbo upgrade and is 3D printed and purchased from Iceman Collections. The skull on the engine is one I 3D printed myself and resized to fit the specific engine I used. The wiring is copper bead wire. The drive belt is a real rubber belt. I had to modify the position of the rear suspension in order to get it to sit low. The fuel tank is a 3D printed Vietnam War era military bomb. The chain link steering wheel, the bomber seats, and the grenade shifter knob are all 3D printed. The shifter boot is made from a couple of tiny rubber o-rings. The shifter handle is a sewing pin. The seat cushions are made from some army green EVA craft foam. I had to cut a hole in the middle of the back seat to get the engine to sit level. In order to cover it up I 3D printed an ammo box and painted it to look like a Vietnam War era box. The 50 caliber ammo belt and bullets are also 3D printed. The rear fender wells are made from scratch styrene sheets. The visor above the windshield is a Black Box STL design and is 3D printed and painted the same color as the body. I wanted the body to look like a Vietnam War era army helmet. This is my 4th version of the Revell 1968 Volkswagen Beetle kit and I have a lot more to come.
