Der Bettle Bus Challenge

[Psychographic]

Love your version of DBB!

 

Now ask your buddy in the club,

 

if he wants to race. I think I got some competition for him.

ACME (Agusta County Model Enthusiasts) has an honorary member! I Can't wait to see this finished, great work so far Dave!

[disconovaman]

I'm back from the club meeting and I have pics. Three members were no shows so it wasn't as big as I'd hoped for. But the rest of the guys came through. I kinda thought there would be some progress stages and some finished ones and that's pretty much what it was.

Looks like fun coming in your contest!

 

That "Seabed" Turquoise paint you di dis spectacular! It just looks so natural

[disconovaman]

Thanks! my entry was one of two that was completed. Since some of the projects were unfinished we collectively have desided to revisit the challange agian at a later time... Which I have picked up 2 more kits for the future "Der Beetle Bus challange part 2". lol!

[disconovaman]

One of our members didn't have a chance to build the one he had in mind but he did offer this rendering of the build he was planning. I like it and hopefully he'll find time to build this before I do. If he doesn't build it I will...lol!

[disconovaman]

Here are the most complete builds from the challange and when we do another club meeting with the Der Beetle Bus I'll be sure to add the rest of the finished projects for everyone to see. Thanks for the Support.... Also for anyone building one of these feel free to add it here if you want.

Great ideas going on here. I ended up going to HL and buying one of these kits because of this thread. lol

Nice! Some real creative interpretations of this kit here

[Chuck Most]

That's funny after you commented on the wheelie bars I was mocking it up and I didn't have the front wheels on and when I let go of it the thing stood up on it's back wheels! The weight of the front wheels are what's literally keeping it on the ground. Yeah, you're right about a good head wind Lol!

Beetle Busses should not be doing that on the carpet- has it had it's yearly medication? 

I am seriously digging this project.

One of the club members sent me this pic as he was unable to attend the meeting last month, a quick rough draft of his final reveil.

i like it best wen the front wheel wells are closed up , with the old wheel well and just exhausts it kinda visually bumps my head lol

[mustang1989]

Me too

I actually bought one more since that last post.........

[Davewilly]

Those are pretty cool...I like the one with the tank tracks! 

[bob29579]

Really great stuff.  I would not have even given this kit a second thought back when they came out, now I kind of want one...     Heavy sigh.  One more for the stash, right ?

[cobraman]

Cool ! No limit to what you can do with these kits.
