Eero Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Hello I want to share this model with you also. This is Australian made and quite rare car called Country Buggy. I used as much parts from different VW kit as possible, but I also had to scratch built a LOT.
Foxer Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 That is unique ... never seen one before. Very nice job!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Oh man, you have a great collection of built models. Keep 'em coming. Great work. Fun to look over.
cobraman Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Very nice. Kind of like a 'Thing" but not quite.
fredo84 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 WICKED job man ! No one does this one ! And your other build are Awesome as well ! Congrat'!
rmvw guy Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Very nice! First time for me also. It looks a lot like the VW Thing imported in the US in 1973 and 1974. I once owned an orange one and it was a fun ride. Nice job on the detail work on yours.
shucky Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 This is absolutely outstanding! Details are fantastic, love the color, and super cool subject for a build. Very cool.
Badluck 13 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Eero,you know your V Dubb's,I love your builds....This is one great looking Country Buggy...
wisdonm Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Sweet. A baby Thing! Keep watering it. Edited August 29, 2012 by wisdonm
The70judgeman Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Looks like a Mini Moke! Awesome job on the scratch building!
VW Dave Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 As this is a family-friendly board, I can't post what I said when I first saw this. Awesome job on such an offbeat VW! I would love a resin copy if it were available.
peekay Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Very fine and realistic detailing throughout, as with all your models. I like!
Harry P. Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 That's amazing! The head and tail lights look very realistic. What's the source for them?
MichaelJ Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 VERY nice, love the imagineering, keep um coming, I'm having fun ! Michaelj...
Eero Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 That's amazing! The head and tail lights look very realistic. What's the source for them? Thank you! Well, headlights do come from Tamiya 1300 Beetle. I just painted those frames black. About taillights... They come from polystyrene. I scratch built those. This car isn't VW Thing, or Type 181. Please Google Country Buggy and you'll get tons of pictures about this rare car!
W-409 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Excellent job, as always. This is near perfection, but if possible-it looks better in Live. You have to show Jopo and Tunturi also . I guess that Americans haven't ever seen those in any scale.
