Monalooking forward to seeing more of this project👍.my uncle(5th SF) was in country just after TET and one of the few things he ever... spoke of more than once, was about riding on top of a M113 that rolled over a mine

Mathias DecommereThank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉

Mathias DecommereThank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!

Mr JamesLooking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?

Mathias DecommereThanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.

Nigel ChapmanWhat a find for £3 and all brand new parts. Even the body was unpainted

Nigel ChapmanTime to resurrect a project left in hiatus. Firewall would not fit so engine removed from chassis. Let the make over begin.

Nigel ChapmanGot my 60's Gasser mojo back. Looks good so far. Headlamps will have to be re-done.

Nigel ChapmanA couple hours work on the firewall allows the engine to fit in it's correct position.
I also applied new red film to the windows which looks much better though ideally new glass would have been preferable.

MunkyslutThe red tint film looks proper cool!
Authentic too, a lot of the tube frame VeeDub racecars has blue or red tint plexiglass 👍
Motor position is spot on 😉

Nigel ChapmanYeah it's a good colour combo. I've seen green and amber glass used as well. I had contemplated white wall tyres but will leave them Black.

Bob HallAwesome ! Craziest VW Bug I ever saw was back in my younger years and a friend of a friend had 455 Oldsmobile dropped into it ! Could outrun every police car in the county, crazy stuff !

Nigel ChapmanWhy me? Tried another test fit and found engine air intake is foul of the body below windscreen. It looks like the engine mounts on chassis do not match up with The body in place so it's back to the drawing board again.

MunkyslutIt looks to clear ok in that pic?
........& I thought I was the only one with shit luck 😄
26 May 2020, 20:19
Nigel ChapmanThe firewall was fine. It's when the body is mounted that's causing problems so the front axle needs to be moved back slightly and engine mounts moved forward.

MunkyslutWhat a pisser! Is it a straightforward mod or are you stressing over it?
Bloody hell if anybody got the skills for mods it's you mate 😉
26 May 2020, 22:16
Nigel ChapmanThanks. I do get wound up however I have put it to one side and will have a think
27 May 2020, 06:26
Nigel Chapman#^%*~/> •\?{+ !! Right, rant over. Starting the re-build and now discovered the frame is twisted (Probably my fault). Only remedy I can think of at the moment is to build a new frame and start again. Hey ho... At least I can then sort out engine and front suspension placement.

Christian WHow could I miss that one!
You did a good job on the paint job. The engine looks good too! We know, this kit is not the best out there. I wrote it to you: for me it's a piece of memory on my childhood. I love this kit nevertheless. Should make a project for mine too. Like yours: it's for restoration or to leave it as is - only to put the parts together again.
1 April 2021, 07:22
Nigel ChapmanThanks Christian for the thumbs up. Your right, brilliant model just dodgy parts and fitment issues. I also forgot to widen the rear wheel arches before painting, so it will not take much to get it back on track.

BozzerIt's ball busting Bozzer again.
I'm curious to know how you got on with this? I have two of these, and my plan was to build both versions. However, seeing this, I'm tempted to leave the standard version, for a more worthy kit, and go nuts, with one of these kits?
Any thoughts are appreciated mate?

Mr JamesBloody impressive work. I was confused by the pic with the lighter until I realised its 1/72. Excellent modelling skills

Phil Ma background, for the motion I used a photo of a racetrack that I modified quickly using motion blur on photoshop. I put my models on it...then I use motion blur for parts of the car and radial blur for the wheels with a bit of gaussian blur to mix them well....its fairly simple.

Martin OostromMy mind is blurred by your 'simple' blurring techniques 🤪
I adore the car in this livery. So striking and really, really well built. One to be proud of Phil 👍🏻
