The wheel arches would probably need some work too - especially the back one which is opened out. Anyhoo, I'd been waiting for some paint and plasticard to arrive so I could start on this properly and it finally turned up. First order of business, add a melty VW badge to the front ... ...and scratchbuild a licenceplate and surround for the back. I'm going to leave the roof off the body for the moment (it's a seperate piece that allows you to build a pickup I guess) but it will be attached permanently before paint.

Thanks for the heads up on this Cameron - what an amazing build!! Beautiful craftsmanship

Ohh, that little blue rod is gorgeous! Is there a build thread for that?

That'd be cool!

Cant wait to see more Anthony! Are you gonna make it it's own build thread? It'd be cool to see THREE DBB's in the 'On The Workbench' section

That's amazing! I wonder how long it will take for someone to figure out how to print out stuff other than what's in the app? I'd buy one in a shot if I could print parts that I could actually use!

Amazing! Thank you!!

Mine too! A fun subject with some GREAT building techniques and a tonne of cool ideas! 10/10 for this thread so far!

Certainly seems like there's a lot of these fun little kits being built lately - mine arrived today! I'm building this for the Beetle Bus CBP - http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/116537-der-beetle-bus-build-off/#comment-1694667 I've got a concept in mind for this project - I wont say what it is right away, lets see if anyone can guess it. Not much progress yet, only got a few minutes to mock it up real quick after work, but this is gonna be a mainly box stock build with some scratchbuilding required to get it to where I want it... If anyone else has got a DBB, lets see it! It'd be fun to get a bunch of them in the build off that Disconovaman started!

Looks great Chuck! Love it! I considered a 'proper' engine for mine too but I think it'll be close to box stock. Spekaing of which, the mailman came! I'm in!

I'm obsessed with these trucks lately - I'm going to have to get myself one unless a resin option has (re)appeared on the market

I glad this thread got a 'bump' - what an amazing build! I love it!

What a GREAT build - I'm loving seeing this come together!

That's three! Mine arrived today!

What class of RCs did you race David?

Agreed - great color!

Me too

I know this is an old post, but that's a cool chassis!

This story was hilarious!

Ordered! I'm ready to roll here in 3-5 days

I'm in!!!! I need to order one - I'll order now, in fact!

I'd be REALLY down for a CB on this! I was really hoping that someone else might wanna do that too! This build looks great, it's gonna look amazing in those colors!

I love this build! How cool! Can we have a community build for these little buses yet?

What a GREAT build! This sounds like it was a fun one! Is there anywhere that we can see some of the other builds from your club?

Done! I Alcladed the exhausts, fitted a fuel can as a tank (I figure that'd be the kinda thing that would get utilised on a low budget car like this), and added the ironwork from back and sides This was a fun little build! I think I'm gonna do a salt flats car next, something unconventional...
