This one is pretty much done, so figured I'd better add a photo to this thread.

What a perfect location for you photo. They could have hired you for... small detail transportation?  

Looking good!

Not entirely Tamiya, but Billy got a new ride today to join Willy..

Man , that's a nice WW stable there - SWEET !!

Soooo... I went a different route with Bugsy... I really liked the way the "Amazon special" body looked and I liked the stance but it just didn't seem right to have a monster beetle that just had a plain white body. One of the things I loved about Bugsy was the look she had when I got into the bidding war on eBay for her. So I went back to the old school... 

 

I'm not sure if I like the short course wheels and tires...

My first build since my Super Champ back in 1984.  Went for halogen for the headlights and xenon for the spots.  Thanks to @svenb for the extra decals.

Installed the 3D printed shovel and axe sets to complete the SWB and LWB Willy's I restored the last several weeks.

It's been over 10 years since I've been around these neck of the woods!  And over 10 years since I've completed a build.  I decided to give an all new chassis a go.  I have to say, this was one of the most enjoyable builds I've ever completed.

Yoshimitsu - Is there supposed to be a small parting line where the fender meets the door?

[Yoshimitsu 2188]

@Willy iine

For sure there's lots of detail panel lining on the boxart but no decals are supplied in the kit for this. The only area that there is provision for is the headlights..

I ran out of what I had but yes the door to front wing and bonnet are left to do.

It's the most persnickety of jobs, the headlights are a major challenge too.😬

Ahhh..  nice job so far!   Sorry to be nitpicky... since you did such a detailed job thought I'd ask.

In the interests of equilibrium being restored.😎

The bonnet and front wing are now picked out.

^ Nice!   That line is refreshing to have.

Has been on hold for over 2 weeks now.

Got some of the bearings from my spare parts pile, but didn't have enough so ordered a complete kit at Asiatees and the package has been lost somewhere between the customs and my home...

Wow the clear chassis looks cool, I might think about that for mine.

[kwkride 41]

It's got TLT axles, so maybe this counts as a Tamiya build ?? Custom chassis with several details to still finish up.

I saw someone on here use it.

Was thinking the same at that moment and had the chassis in before I even ordered the kit

[Juhunio 6362]

TB-02 Carrera GT upgraded to TB-02R and then painted box art. Took a while to get weather good enough for painting, but it was worth the wait 

 

Hmm, just noticed the LF and RR wheels are in the wrong corners

The panel lines add a lot to the body. How did you make them? I'd like to do the same to my tt01e mercedes. 

[itcrashed 63]

2 hours to build the chassis and about 15 hours to complete the body .  Will admire it on the shelf for a few weeks before I let 'er rip haha

[berman 5271]

Still got much more to do, but this is how it sits at the moment...

[Re-Bugged 8603]

The latest build I’ve completed and as seen on another thread a Knight Hauler...
