Baja Beast

Here's my first build using 2 part urethane clear. That stuff is messy and smelly. HOK euro red on the roof and beltline; HOK scarlett kandy over orion silver through the middle; HOK cinder red on the bottom.

Very tasty, Jim! Looks nice & SHINY!! l love this kit, & you did a bang up job on it. Glad to see you're having fun with your new toy(s). Peace (or not!). Bart.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Bart. You know SHINY :) RULES! Didn't want the peace symbol on the front. The new spray gun and 2 part urethane make a difference. I have to build more so I can practice more.

I wouldn't mind trying to get another one of these kits and try to detail more. I love the body style.

Great build up,this is one of my favorite TD designs right next to fire cracker and Troublemaker.Didn't this kit come with a mini bike?

[crazyjim]

Thanks Austin. I like the style too. Yes, it came with a minibike. I did some paint on it, didn't like it, so it's taking a bath.

l have the Revell '62 Samba bus cuz l love these old vans. Considered closing in all the windows to make it a panel. l guess that's why it's still in the closet,lol!

Just glue in the glass and bondo over them. I just checked evilbay and they want $30-50 for a Baja Beast kit. I guess I won't be building another one.

Yep , they are getting pricey ! I've been looking for awhile and doubt I will ever find one .

Your paint work is amazing ! I love your choice of colors , and it is SHINY !!

Thanks Bob. Those kits are much more than I'll spend. SHINY :) RULES, Bob. The 2 part urethane clear that Fatkidd told me to use works very well.

Looks like great & Shiny build . Good color choice, that fits very nicely on that Volkswagen. Good Job all over.

Very nice job !

Thanks, Niko. The Beast has a small block Chevy inside. I'm thinking that Tom Daniels kinda sorta had a VW in his mind but made it more stylized.

And thank you Ray.
