discussion 1/24 R8 Samba "Sleepah"

[Snowman]

It's ALIVE!!

Finally this monster build, combining the 1/24 Revell Audi R8 with the 1/24 Revell VW Samba Bus to create a sleeper..... ala, R8 Samba "Sleepah", is over!

I have tried new things, rust, seriously modding a car kit & scratch building seat belts.

It has it's faults, but overall I am more than satisfied with the results.



Thanks for looking! :thumb2:

Love it in the "weeds" like that...sort of crawls on it's belly like a reptile!
Fun watching this come together Gavin. One to be proud of. Rick H.

Hi Gavin,
That look awful in a really good way:smiling4:
Weathering looks spot on:thumb2:

A small update on the Samba, I finally entered into the competition at Telford 2022.

To my amazement I managed to get a Silver.

So happy with the result, as the competition was stiff.
