Re: VW Thing done Baja style.
Now that is a great conversion.
That scratchbuilt chassis is fantastic. Does the suspension work? It looks like a frog in that last pic.

Re: VW Thing done Baja style.
Nice where/how did you make the beadlocks, and where did you get the BFG Baja T/A's?

Re: VW Thing done Baja style.
Thanks guys,
The suspension does not work although I may in the future do a working suspension VW? The bead locks were made by one of my friends and given to me. The BFG's come from the Burago Die cast Schlesser Dakar buggy.(out of production) I have been trying to get someone to cast them forever. Doug R

Re: VW Thing done Baja style.
Top notch scratchbuilding. The colour you chose for the frame is perfect as is the suspension. It looks so clean and functional I would think it works also. The fuel filler spout is great also, looks like real metal. A truly great model you have made here and one of a kind.

Re: VW Thing done Baja style.
Thanks everyone for the nice words.
The filler/dry break is real metal. It's a gold plated electrical connector form somewhere?. The cage is all built from evergreen styrene rod,if anyone is interested I have many in progress pics of the chassis and body. Thanks again for the comments. Doug R
