Dyno Davo Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Built this for our upcoming club display that is a 8.7metre long Bonneville theme diorama which all the members will contribute models and figures for. The hauler is the resin Scale Productions Dual Cab VW Pickup stetched using the Revell T1 Samba Bus. Paint is my own mix of pale yellow with matt white trim and a white flake roof. It's basically a curbside with dress up parts from the Revell kit. The Karmann Ghia is the Tamiya kit fitted with a bombed out flat six Covair motor from the Revell Parts Pak series, I added a scratch built inlet manifold, custom exhaust and milled pulley. The motor is wired. Interior has a scratch built roll cage, Nascar seat and NOS bottle, the Salt Shaker decals are home made and the wheel discs have been machined from aluminium discs.
slusher Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Excellent pair of models David. The vw hauler is very creative and unique. The Karmann Ghia is so cool and love the decals...
crazyjim Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Excellent builds. The Ghia is especially good looking.
John Teresi Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 David.......this is really cool man........love what you did here
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Fantastic!! Biggest smile I've had in a long time. Great stuff, from concept to clean, believable execution.
Bernard Kron Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Fantastic!! ... from concept to clean, believable execution. I agree totally. The photos are surprisingly convincing, too. Bravo!
geordie Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Very nice builds, hower in a diorama setting I fell that they would benefit from a little salt spray weathering. Edited June 4, 2013 by geordie
DrKerry Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Lovin the Ghia.... Shake It Up, Ooo oooooo Shake It Up!!!
hvymtl Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I agree with everyone else Way cool man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael
Burnout Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 That's a couple of really nice models and nice photo work too! Thanks for sharing.
W-409 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Nice combo Dave! Nice builds, both of them and great idea of using another Volkswagen as the Car Hauler. Especially I like the Karmann Ghia, I've always thought that it is very nice car and great body style, you did great job on the build also.
