WIP: Mystery Machine Van

avd · #1 07-04-2013, 01:21 AM

Hey guys, well I'm on rookie level right now, but I'm gonna learn some cool things building cool stuff. So first off, I will be working on Scooby Doo Mystery Machine Van. Don't mind Cobra vehicle, I'm just using engine until you scroll down.

Need little bit sanding around to smooth it out.

Oh yeah. This is what I'm talking about. The Van need more POWER. No way Shaggy getaway from monster. He need bigger power to get the hell outta here.

Neat idea! That engine is going to become pretty hidden I think, it almost needs an "over the top" engine!

Yeah I'm planning put cover on engine soon. I'm thinking make sun roof on van.

I agree something over the top would be great. I think you could see it great through the big front windshield. Does it have an opening sliding door? That could do the trick.

I wish this van has slide door, but its not. It only show 2 doors in front and 2 door in back pretty much.

Why are you using putty to hold the joints together?

Well its my 1st time making roll cage and I don't know what other kind best kind to hold the joint together.

Use the tenax7 glue on the styrene. It will bond the rods.
If you're just trying to mock it up, the blue tack stuff is great.
