PatW Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) This is my 4th build of this kit.... Front Discs Rear Discs Engine in with custom muffler.... The only problem buying a Manx is when there are four in the family. A quick mock-up...... Hopefully do some more next week. Edited November 29, 2013 by PatW
slusher Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Looking really sharp Patrick, awesome detail...
PatW Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks guys, having already built three of these it's just thinking of how to build the next one, engine,chassis, suspension etc. I have a picture of a possible 5th build..... This uses a race type spaceframe chassis, but lets finish this one first. I'll try and do some more work on this one early next week.
PappyD340 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Real NICE Patrick, and the one in the photos would make a real nice project!!
PatW Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks PappyD340, yes the one above would be good to build! I've just done a bit more..... Four rear lights two for brakes and two for turn signals............ And a PE gas cap..........

PatW Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks guys, I'll try and do some more tomorrow.
Zarana-X Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Your build and engine look great so far. While not your fault, those taillight housings seem kinda off with that "flange" around the base. Maybe it's supposed to be the seal, but it looks too big for that.
PatW Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Yes they normally have a large rubber seals round the tailights (difficult to get scale correct) , as I remember from building and running a few beetles from the late '60's onwards. Plus we built a Cal Look beetle for my youngest son around the early '90's. I've done abit more today, fixing the seats,bonnet,dash and steering............ And tomorrow is the screen, possibly the wipers and headlights. Edited December 3, 2013 by PatW
PatW Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Well here are the last pics in this build................... Well that's the fourth of these done, so I must get on and finish my big resin Flying Cloud Airstream van.
