(THE LEGENDARY 1980s DUNE BUGGY) THE HOLIDAY BUGGY
Hi Lads,
Sorry to put the same buggy on here but I had to show you my Holiday Buggy now its had some new stickers on it and all finished with a nice back ground! I have a mix of new stickers from the 2010 HB and have left as many of the original stickers as i could and did not change the lights as i was going to because i want the HB to stay original as it can but have it looking at its best!
Do you like her guys?
I love the Holiday buggy its such a Legend and a superb looking buggy! Lots of R/C fans started with this Buggy or it had some form of infiuence on most of us at some time!!! I am a Big fan of this buggy thats for sure!!!!
Thanks guys and cheers MAD-BEE.

mr alan
Can't beat the original! Wow!
SteelRat
Beautiful job. And that spare wheel on the back really makes a difference to the overall look. Nice!
OrangeSport
You've done a great job - lovely buggy! And what a great location! I like the way the spare wheel fills the gap to the bar/bumper...
MAD-BEE
Cheers and thanks (jez Thain)
Hi (HOPPIN MAD 74) I was very happy with that first shot!Cheers Buddy.
It sure is a classic (Tamiya Monkey) i am in love with this buggy! I must get a SR to! such great looking cars!!cheers mate.
Its a no to the wheel for you (SRB Bloke) i am 50/50 on this one! I bet you had good times back then with your HB!
Happy Days Thanks mate.
You are so right (mr alan),cheers mate.
Thanks (SteelRat),That makes it 1-1 on the spare wheel score! cheers bud.
MAD-BEE
Thanks OrangeSport and thats 2-1 to the wheel so far! I am very lucky to have been born and bred in such a nice place as Cornwall! cheers buddy.
eriknyg
I really love the first picture. Looks fantastic! It will do just fine as a desktop background.
SRB Bloke
Can I vote again and bring it back to a draw. (however if the spare was an HB wheel and tyre, I'd vote for the spare). The memories I have of this model will only ever make go fuzzy inside..
mongoose1983
Looks terrific. What a classic. Oh, and what a beautiful place to go to!
MAD-BEE
1-1 it is then SRB Bloke and i will see if i can find me a HB wheel it would look a bit more the ticket! Fuzzy inside is the power this beautiful buggy has!!!!
cheers bud.
eriknyq the first pic is cool looking! thanks mate.
MAD-BEE
I am blessed to live here and 100% right mongoose1983 What a classic!!!
Thanks Buddy.

howitzer71

Singleseven
I never tire of seeing your pics MB; nice one!
sturge
What a cool looking car in a spectacular location, love the waves crashing onto the beach in the first pic!!
Sorry tho, i'd have to say no to the spare wheel!!
Great Car.
Cheers,
Paul.
MAD-BEE
Cheers Dam 10 its a Bang on place!
Hi howitzer71 its looking a close thing!maybe a original HB rear wheel will look more authentic! cheers buddy.
Thats a real pat on the back singleseven and pleased you like my pics, nice to hear thanks buddy.
Cheers Paul it was a tough shot to get the wave like that and would you be surprised if i told you that was the first attempt!! Well........... when i say the first attempt i meant the first attempt after the first ten!!
Its a no for the spare then from you, its looking a 50/50 thing now! but the wheel makes a nice little optional part! but see ya point she looks great as she is!
Thanks buddy.
ShayD
Great pictures MAD-BEE! ... again ...
JWeston
classy photos and very scale looking. the first one is a peach!
stickerbod
Lovin' the first pic
MAD-BEE
Cheers ShayD its great buzz when you get them right! JWeston the first pic is a crowd pleaser it seems! even my wife liked it so it must be good!!cheers buddy.
Hi stickerbod, cheers mate its the winner by the looks of it!
hot rod
Mad-bee what great pictures.... now i have a new camera think when we get a nice day may need to get out and do some wonderful pics like these. Your HB really is in good fettle and looks like its leapt from the tamiya brochure in 3D!!! . Anyways buddy no frog as yet so may go for an old clunker or do a parts build , as for the other parts that was a no go.... did get some original wild one dampers though un-used and new so not all bad .
MAD-BEE
Hi hot rod thanks mate but its not always this good a weather to get em nice and clear but when it is good its got to be one of the best places to take pics of these Buggys! in a Tamiya brochure thanks mate!! but not in the video thanks! I can hear that monotone tamiya voice over man saying' this off the road all terain buggy will beat allcomers with its high performance 380 motor and its high performance spare wheel!!' Ha-ha
you came out of the shop with some thing thats good as it feels a bit of a disappointment to leave empty handed!
Cheers Buddy.
mad maz
You done great job man and great work on the buggy
hot rod
Well not all doom and gloom , managed to get a used set of wheels front and rear for my shelf fox from flea-bay and she looks gorgeous , will post when i get the camera back from the girlfriends (left it doh..) also just had a box-art bumper bar for my re-re scorcher come.... sexy or what! anyway decided what you gettin next buddy??? anything as good as this you are on to a winner
MAD-BEE
Good find and Look forward to seeing that fox! get that camera back! and I wouldnt mind a Sand Rover to sit along side my Holiday Buggy next??? Cheers bud.
MAD-BEE
Thanks mad maz for that.
cheers mate.
fritjofarnold
I dig it (both with or without the spare wheel), great work mate. Nice detail with the net too.
MAD-BEE
Pleased you like the nets! and same with me on the spare! Thanks bud.
TIMECMDR
Awesome pics as usual, great scenery and great looking HB
the-way
Although the photo#1 is fantastic I really love photo#4 because the car is 50/50 between sand and sky and the roof is almost on line with the horizont. Your car is a fine example of art mixed up with your endless passion and love for this hobby. Spare wheel? Probably I would choose the front wheel as spare because it looks more easy to puncture, and I would put on the bonnet. I love the net and not many buggy have fixed this important (in my opinion) gadget. Well done. Your car, again, attracted so many TC fans and so many comms. That's the magic of sharing something made not only with the screwdriver but with the heart
scorcherboy77
...great car and pics! About the spare... I am with SRB bloke on that one – make it a HB wheel and I am convinced!
berman
Sorry for what? Tasty beach pics with a fine example of a HB?! Looks magnificent MAD-BEE! I quite like the spare, If you could get hold of a original rear, that would be the icing! Awesome!
Butcher-Bird
man that's awesojme! Soooo much better looking then the pathetic rere..
MAD-BEE
Hi (TIMECMDR) Thanks for that buddy.
Hello the-way picture 4 is one i was pleased with too i got it just right with that wave!
Feeling the Magic my friend thanks Bud.Hi (Scorcherboy77)the spare works but i will get a original HB rear wheel! That will look the real deal then.Cheers mate.
( berman) I think its a win for the spare but i will use a original HB wheel to look in line with the rest! thanks buddy i appreciate that. Hi (Butcher-Bird) it sure does look better then the re-re ! What were Tamiya thinking when they made the 2010 HB !!! The wheels spoil the look completely!! too wide and thin wheels in 'YELLOW' NO! NO! I like yellow! look at the Falcon it looks great with yellow wheels but not on the HB its just not right!! To be fair the 2010 HB has good handling and with oil shocks very good handling and get the wheels sorted and its getting there then!! Thanks and cheers buddy.
A BIG thanks to you all for your comments and top feedback its very appreciated.Cheers MAD-BEE.
Fernado Alonso
