The Blue Crab

[Nosferatu]

This is my first complete build since moving to Arizona 4 months ago. I'm looking forward to more!

A frankenstein build combining a Jeep and monster tires and wheels. I added the beach-surf scene and flowered the seats, cooler and surfboard.

I had this in the WIP but finished it.

Pretty cool!  Those tires look just right and I like the "C Cab" roof.

That is pretty kewl.  Looks like it has enough engine to haul those big ass tires.  Nice job.

Cool!

Looks great! Lots of cool custom work going on there.

Now that’s different. I kinda like it!?

Cool! Really like the C-cab on that body, it just adds the right kind of flow!

I agree. The Corvette dash is a nice touch too.

That's a cool looking jeep, no worries about being stuck in the sand and I bet it could float. Great idea and execution.

Very cool!

Great attention to detail. This would be a real monster rock crawler just a little hard to steer with the tight clearance between the body and the front tires. I like how you added the C-Cab body to the Jeep front end.

Hi David, this turned out really cool. I remember having a look at the WIP, I need to go back and check what colour you used on the body, looks great. Looks like it would have been a fun build.

Thanks for all your nice comments.

I know that this vehicle may not be able to be a real car as I had to alter some features to make it look good. The front tires are tight and if it were a real vehicle it wouldn't turn without hitting the body but I used my artistic license on it.

I had fun building it.

As far as the color goes it was a happy accident. I started with one color that looked blue in the container but it didn't come out the same blue so I went on to a couple other colors. Somehow it became color changing. I would have preferred a lighter blue but I do like the color change so I decided to keep it.

Super cool ride!

Well done!

I've got a Jeep body that I'm planning something different with too, though not as wild as that.
