The Creative Explorer Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 It has taken me more than half a year and this is my first finished build in 2013! Normally, I would've finished about 8 by now, now just this one. It was a project where I didn't know for sure how it would turn out and what the final look would be, simply because it has never been done before in this way and even with the real cars, the Kubelwagen is mostly left untouched. Not so much with this kit, I decided to modify the heck out of it. I started with cutting up the body and get it from a 4-door to a 2-door model, then I sectioned the body and shortened it. I made a new nose, so the original floorpan could be used and prevented it from making the model look goofy. I added a very wild paintscheme, inside and out, and added a lot of different styled touches. I think that overall, the blend does come out nicely. I haven't gotten a proper photobooth for this size of cars yet, so I made a rough photoshoot, sorry about that.
The Creative Explorer Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 And to give you a idea of the size: I hope you guys enjoyed it!
Bigjeff Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Love it!!! What's the scale on it? Edited October 25, 2013 by Bigjeff
Danno Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 That's Kubel Kool! And (dare I say it?) very creative! Great job, Erik. Jeff, I believe that is a 1/9 scale kit.
crazyrichard Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 awsome result , congrats on finishing i love it
Casey Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Great idea to use the jerry can as the fuel tank Richard.
Deathgoblin Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 That's nifty! Looks like it'd be a blast to buzz through the desert.
PatW Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 This looks just amazing! Please tell me what model or kit did you start with?
slusher Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Very impressive build and unique. Awsume detail.
The Creative Explorer Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 @BigJeff; it is 1/9 scale. @Casey, who is Richard? @Pat: It is the old Esci kit, reissued by Revell @Crazyjim; I see what you did there,
The Creative Explorer Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks guys, Good to hear you like it. It is one of those projects that is odd, different and not mainstream. You gotta love it or hate it, and glad that there aren't a lot of haters haha. It managed to get silver last saturday on the dutch nationals.
Danno Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 @Casey, who is Richard? Erik, Casey never makes mistakes. Now you're just going to have to change your name.
The Creative Explorer Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Haha, ok. In that case I am glad he didn't called me Daisy
Peter Lombardo Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 That is just insane......1/9th scale is too big for me, but you handled it very well....I love the paint, really different. Very unique!
Dinky Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Very nice, ive seen this one in real in Nieuwegein. Good job!
