funhouse1 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Show me a more creative modeler than Mr. Dahm and I will eat a razor saw! Totally unique!
Ira Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Looking very cool Ira....Love the Bus idea! Thanks Dave! Yes, I like the Windows, you can look inside and see everything...
Ira Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Beast Mock-Up! Here is the Body set on the Chassis. The front Axle is not glued yet. Just checking fits and seeing what it looks like on all fours. Side View. Rear View. More Coming...
W-409 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 This is a very cool and creative build...As always from you. I haven't posted much as I've been speechless all the time because of your building skills and cool ideas. Thanks for sharing it with us, the mock up looks excellent and I like the new body lines too.
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Ira I think you ned to do something on the front end. Narrowing the front axle might help. Whatever you do it will come out great.
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Another idea would be pull the front axle further forward. Just a thought. Edit thinking of the crosley drag cars. If you gogle it you will see what I am talking about. Edited November 6, 2014 by bobthehobbyguy
Ira Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 I think it would be in the best interests of Revell or Round 2 to start a line of Ira's off the hook designs. I think there's interest in a wildly radicalized VW bus that has an Allison powerplant behind the pilot. Or is it just me? Thanks Joe! That would be Fun...
slusher Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Really great progress Ira. I could see your beast running across the salt setting a speed record..
Chris in Berwyn Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 What about widening the body to enclose the tires? :-)
Ira Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Yeah, Ira could be the next Tom Daniel for Monogram! Thanks Jonathan! I really like Tom Daniel's Designs...
Ira Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 This is incredible work Ira I have being watching this since the start and am amazed at your work. It has made think about shoehorning a Lincoln v12 into a beetle for something different Thanks Brayden! So glad you are enjoying it...
Ira Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 Now there's a rear end that means business. (Can I say that here? ) Thanks Joe!
Ira Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 I never tire of your builds. You never disappoint us. Thanks for the kind words Ray! So glad you are enjoying it...
KingSix Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Every build this cat does, simply amazes me .. mad skills Ira.. !!!
GLMFAA1 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Maybe with this roof this your driver can get in and out greg Edited November 8, 2014 by GLMFAA1
Chris in Berwyn Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 BTW, will the Moon Beast be at NNL West in Santa Clara? This will be my first NNL West and it would be great to see this in person! Chris
