Very cool. Reminds me of some of the guys I used to ride the bus with long ago.

Very nice clean build. I like the flip front end, somewhat like a Corvette.

This should be fun to watch.

Frogs Leap happens to be one of our favorite wineries. On the label on the back of the bottle with all the required warnings required by every governing body you can think of, the story goes that during the original labeling application the owners were so frustrated if them they put on their label "Open other end". Next time you see one of their bottles check out the label, and if you like a KILLER Zinfandel than buy it and find out for your self.

If you are not already doing this, use a sharp #11 blade to outline what ever you are painting. This leaves an almost invisible dividing line to follow with your paint brush. You can even flow a little paint on the molding and it leaves a very distinct line between the molding and the body.

Great looking conversion , and the camper is perfect. Remember to look out for low bridges as you're heading out of town, or you might loose the canoe.

Great looking body, who supplied that as a post car ?

Great looking roll cage. Outstanding chassis details.

I like the suspension work and roll cages.

Looks great. I always would get nervous when I would see one of these cars in my rearview mirror.

I like how the patina painting turned out. I would resist painting it with a gloss clear. This is presently a popular build style now with 1:1 builders, but the builders tend to cover everything with an unnatural looking gloss clear coat. If a car body is actually oxidized it is going to be a very flat surface. I would go for maybe a semi-clear coat followed by a flat clear sprayed from an arms length away. This would give the finish some highlights and leave a little bit of texture to the actual finish. Glad to hear that the big tires cleared the rear fenders. I intend to build this same model soon and I have a hard time building anything with skinny tires.

Glad to see this is back on the work bench.

If you're not limited to a particular scale, Round 2 has reissued a 1/25th motor cycle kit listed as an AMT kit.

Great information source, thank you.

Great looking build, excellent detail on the trim.

Another beautiful looking VW.

Nice looking Gasser. I know what you mean about Distortion kit, every time I think I want to build one I look at the body, take off my glass' s and try to figure out what is wrong with the body. ,

Very nice clean build. While they look good I think the wheels are a little disproportionate in size, but that seems to be the style.

I was watching last night when a beautifully restored '57 Dodge pick-up crossed the auction block. $150k !!! Really. I know that the post war pick-ups are getting hotter and hotter but this is very eye opening.

"They" would have to allow building for medicinal purposes only I'm sure.

Great recreation. I remember when a lot of guys put the extra set of tail lights on their Mustangs. Some would even put Cougar tail lights on. You really captured the flares just as your friend had done.

Very nice rebuild.

Beautiful build. I like the entire concept.

Very nice , I like the paint color.

Glad to see you're back after this one. Great build.
