Fresh off the workbench, the 1/20 Psychedelic Surf Buggy from Lindberg!
The body was painted a base coat of deep orange before being hydro-dipped in black/red/orange/teal to give it a psychedelic swirl. All under several polished out gloss coats. The woody top was also hydro-dipped, using a the leather from the seats as a base, followed by a leather/dark brown dip. The board was white base with orange/teal/white dip and pearl topcoat.
The modest, but well fitting chassis. The kit original, oversized front wheels were swapped for a pair from a 1/20 McLaren.
Without the top:
Thanks for lookin'... see ya at the beach

Well, seeing the amazing finish of your hydro-dip process, I've tried it out today, after finding a few instructions on YouTube.......... I don't know if I'm brave enough to try this on a kit. So I will try out a few more tests over the next few days, after I've bought a few more acrylic rattle cans.
