Stefan Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Hi, Here are my finished Hasegawa type 2´s! Both are painted with automotive laquer. The grey one is box stock except for the sparebox tires and Polar Lights Herbie hub caps. The pick-up has the 23-window bus bumpers, converted Revell Empi rims and also sparebox tires. The roof arch is scratchbuild. Stefan
MrObsessive Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Both look terrific, but I especially like the green one!! :mrgreen:
Zoom Zoom Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Those both look really cool! Y'er killin' me, I started a "rat" pickup based on a resin body a couple months ago, and haven't had a chance to work on it...it's a '57, I have to do a few things to backdate it. The resin kit came out before Hasegawa did their pickup, and at least it depicts an earlier truck. I'm even using Hasegawa's gates (donated by a friend who built one w/o them 8) ) I found a great website, I think it's Samba.org or something that has given me a ton of inspiration for projects like these, and your models look fantastic.
empinut Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 show us how you get the black in the door/lid gaps...I never have good luck doing it. Your transporter tarp frame support is fantastic!! great job! Bill Murrieta
Steve H. Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Very cool! You're pretty quick at building these things, aren't you? Anyway, really nice work, regardless of how long it take you!
kod38 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Those look great!!!!! I love them both. Do they have suspension detail or are they curbside only. Yes please share your technique for window treatment. Doug R
cruz Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Big VW fan here, just became your fan bro, cool work on both of them.........
Stefan Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 @empinut: It is very easy to blacken out the doorlines: I just paint some dark Testors Metalizer colour (Exhaust or dark Iron for example) over the lines, let it dry for a few minutes and then wipe it away with a cloth and modelwax. The colour will stay only in the lines. If some wax remains in the lines I remove it with a hard brush. That technique works only on Automotive laquer, not on enamels! Don´t know about Tamiya paints... @kod38: Since there is no chassis detail even when you´ll build them box stock (poor kits), I´ve built them curbside... with toothpic axles :wink: . Btw: What technique for window treatment?
Matt T. Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Very cool! I love that gray van! Nice ride height.
kod38 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Sorry Stefan, I meant the trim (rubber)Sharpie pen? I just bought 2 of those combi's that will be lowered just like yours. I love the look. Doug R
jbwelda Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 yeah man real kool transporters. next time if you feel more ambitious i can recommend the quad cam porsche motor out of the fujimi enthusiast model 356s. that will get these thing scooting!
Dublover1970 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 These two are beautiful. I can only aspire to that skill level for all my VW's!
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Not a fan of the lowered look, but very nice work.
Atmobil Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Very nice work on these, a bit to low for my taste but really cool
