  1. KEEPING IT COOOL!!! I think this Cooler was from a Ferrari. It will be perfect for an Oil Cooler or Turbo Cooler! Rear View...
  2. Thanks for the kind words Chris!
  3. MIRRORS AND A MOONROOF!!! I added some BiG 1/16th scale Sports Mirrors to the front... Next, I cut a Moonroof from some clear plastic... I traced a circle around the Moonroof on to the roof and cut it out. Now for a little Primer... Rear View...
  4. WE HAVE A ROLL BAR!!! I made this Roll Bar with Flexible Plastic Rod... I had to position the Bar outside the window because there was no room inside! Next I cut lengths of Plastic Tubing and added more bracing to the Roll Bar. I painted the Bars with Testors Aluminum.
  5. Thanks for the kind words Scott!

  9. REVELL EMPI...MuD BuG!!! I found this old sheet of decals that were perfect for the BuG! The Inch Pincher Too!/Revell Empi Decals were a little brittle and broke up a bit, but I did manage to get them in place... I painted the inside of the body with Light Tan. I also painted some details with Flat Black. Where's the MuD?
  10. Thanks Jacen! Thanks Ray!

  17. COOL WILLY GETS A NEW HELMET!!! Not much room between the roof of the BuG and Willys head, so I decided to make a helmet for him. First I wrapped a strip of Solder around Willys head and glued it in place. I applied putty behind the solder and started rounding out the Helmet area with putty. Here are a couple of photos after the putty has been sanded a bit...
  18. ROCKET VAN GETS FINS!!! I made File Card Templates for the Fins and traced them on to plastic then I cut them out... Here are the Fins glued in place with Zap-A-Gap Green Label, CA Glue! What Next???
  19. ROCKET POWER!!! I found some Brake Drums that are about the same size as the X-Wing Engines so I attached them on the rear... These will be Great Mounts for the Rocket Engines!
