nyguy Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Had this build since 2020 waiting for the NNL East and got sick this week and was unable to attend. Scratchbilt the teardrop trailer and used the VW rear windows and fenders. 8
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Nice concept. Well executed. Don't know if that little motor is going to haul all that plus family of 4 and the dog. Lol. Nice job. Sorry you couldn't go win your prize.
espo Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Beautiful looking build. Remember seeing a 1:1 like this on a TV show. Great looking details on the camper and the trailer both.
Russell C Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Nice work! 9 hours ago, espo said: ... Remember seeing a 1:1 like this on a TV show. ... Magazines for me.

nyguy Posted April 24, 2023 Author Posted April 24, 2023 I did just that. Took the dimensions and scaled them down. Thought for sure I would have to change the wheelbase but NO. Go figure. 1
Bainford Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Cool project. Very creative, looks like it was a fun build. Well done.
happy grumpy Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Great take on the bug. The trailer was a nice idea to re-purpose the unused parts. Great project, makes me miss my beetle even more.??
TooOld Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Cool looking little camper , great job ! I remember doing one similar years ago from an article in Model Car & Science or Car Model .
David G. Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Very cool project, well executed! It's a shame that you couldn't get to the show with it. I'm sure it would have attracted some attention. David G.
BIGTRUCK Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 This is what this hobby and model building is all about....imagination. Well done.
