Nice job

[Chris White]

Really cool build, like your work

[Tom Geiger]

Very nice job. I've always been interested in Dune Buggies! And I'd like to own a 1:1 someday... add that to my Bucket List.

[PatW]

Well thank you all! I'm pleased your pleased!

Yes Tom as an owner of 3 beetles ( & building a beetle from scratch as my youngest sons first car, Cal Look Black Paint, lowered with centreline rims) over the years my choice would be the Manx straight away as my plaything!

The paint is Plasti-Kote rattle can metalic red with Hobbycraft chrome sprinkles(for spraying on greetings cards) and two coats Plasti-Kote clear gloss on top. It's rough to the touch!

Chris, I'll be out in Hartney Manitoba at my eldest son's place for new year, I understand it's cold already! We stayed in Toronto last time we came out and our son came to see us.

Looks great!

Love the exhaust and wheels.

[Danno]

Nice.

[Ben]

Pretty cool! It looks like a HotWheel.

[PatW]

Thanks guys, the exhaust comes with the kit but it's nice to try a different wheel design.

[realgone58]

Looks great! It's similar to the way I built mine. I like the side pods on it. Did you scratch build them or are they resin?

[PatW]

Hi Alan, a family member of sorts! TooOld the other Manx builder made them himself by resin casting.

[realgone58]

I believe we are related. Those pods look fantastic on it!

[ZTony8]

A nice build of a kit that has fought me all the way along the project.I'm envious of your ability to make the exhaust pieces join up so closely.

[PatW]

Yes thanks Tony, they are a real pain! A liitle bit of hot water and a couple of clamps and tweezers to get it right. Although on a previous one I had to join the exhaust up with a turbocharger set up that I added in.

I'll have even more trouble with the next exhaust as I've just won another beach buggy on out UK ebay. It's an earlier Airfix 1/32 scale one, now that should be an interesting build! Now have I got any small sprue or solder I wonder?

So this is the next project and the first of 2014..........
