discussion AMT Surf Woody

[Guest]

Seeing this and your previous build is making me want to do something very "different".

I'm thinking this will be a good quirky kit to mess with and stretch my imagination to it's limits. Another quirky idea I had was to make a space ship from a spitfire and call it "The Spitflyer".

You could also get a Kfz.15 Funkwagen, paint it in leopard print and put an African American with an afro in it as the driver and a ghetto blaster in the back seat then it really would be a funkwagen

Today's work, I've left the cross bars on the roof rack although they were only on there for the moulding process............

I've put a couple of coats of clear gloss on the Tamiya Candy Apple Green............................

I've test fitted and shaved a lot from both the hatch and the light pod, but scratched/chipped the paint and had to respray both. I may stick these in as trying to hinge them has proved difficult so far............

And I've fitted the tail lights..........................

Well soon you will see nothing but colour and then you can shout NO!

Today, the paint has dried, the hatch now works (nearly 6 go's) but the nose light doesn't, It just won't stay still!

And the steering works!

And the hatch closes!

And more tomorrow.
