It was a quiet weekend, so I had time for a new idea out of my head, into action. (I know, I know, that I still have some projects started...  But sometimes you have to get the idea, from the head out, and implement them!  ) O.K. I began this project with a Vandal body. The white lines are cut-lines...   The door is pasted up.  CUTTING! ;D  Everything deburred  And together again  |

Ya know, I have one of these hacked up, or cut down as it may be, to do a "bike truck" with too! It always reminded me of the cab on the Roth Megacycle, and I chopped the crap out of one of those kits a few years ago, then let it sit! The motor is in my Pie Wagon now, so it will probably never get finished....
Your off to a great start tho! Keep us posted!

Thank you! ;D I reduced the side walls of the "cargo area" in the amount. (The "cargo" will also be shown ... )  I put the Vandal cockpit in. Thus, I do not use so much filler, I stick into the recesses, original plastic parts and leftovers from the kit.  Here you can see the hole in the "firewall" for the engine-gearbox.   This is the side line of the sub-soil.  |

Wow!
I had been toying with that same idea, but you beet me to it. Yours will be way better though. You actually have a plan, and not a big mud mess like I always wind up with. Great start. This will be bad ass when it's done...BOOM

You know Bobby, if it was 1969 you'd be working for a model company! Great concept.

Man, you are pulling this thing off nicely. I hacked mine up, then couldn't make any sense of what to do with it! It's really starting to look awesome! As much as I like this, where is the Winewagon?!! You have GOT to finish that thing. It is without a doubt, one of the most exciting scratch-builds to grace this website!  |

Thank you! Tim: The Wine Wagon? I am working on it, but it is laborious progress. Painting... Subtleties... Some parts that I still have to produce, and other I still search ... That's looking really good! What are you planning for the area behind the engine? Scurvy, A drive shaft perhaps? As it Barten said, not much more than you already see ...  I show you an approximate composition, so that you know a little more about this project ... What is in front and what is behind... ;D As I said, something like this... The cabin dome before:  And with the entry hatch afterwards:  The approximate composition:    I hope, you like it... |

Ok Big Boy...  Once again, you really have my attention!!! This makes three (3) kick A$$ projects you've started, and got us all worked up over, are you going to finish one anytime soon? Or.....are you going to tease us even more, and start another fantastic piece? My old heart can't take much more...lol. Great Hauler Bobby!!!

How the heck did you cut that canopy and get such a clean line, much less no chips or cracks?!! Beautiful. NOW FINISH SOMETHING DAMMIT!
