New Body For The Frog

[Old Busted Hotness 1]

I had some leftover Depron foam and decided to whip up another unique project, this time using the Frog as a base. Settled on the 181 because I'd never seen one before.

I narrowed some HPI stock car rims and BFGoodrich tires, and modified the front wheels to accept bearings.

Blitzer headlights and VW emblem are the only body parts not scratchbuilt.

Taillights are pink house-insulation foam.

I'm still working on the ribs that cover the body. Once those are all on, I'll cover the whole thing in epoxy resin, sand it a bit, and it'll be ready for paint.

The foam was left over from my Renault Galion build, which I built to haul my crawlers around I know it's ugly, but I just had to do it.
