11 Window Microbus

Hey guys, I thought I'd better get in and start a thread.
The plan is to make an 11 window bus out of 2 kits (I will still be using the other in a future build).

First was to change the roof as I didn't want the rag top on this one...
Shoey showed me that using the back of the knife blade was easier to cut/scribe the plastic rather than bogging? the sharp front of the blade into the plastic. I must say it worked a treat and will do this from now on (Thanks Shoey )

Starting on the suspension next I want this to be Lowered...so I have choped away at the mounting for the front beam to lower it (notch it up). As a result the shock towers have come through the floor but the seat will cover these.
I have also used the front beam out of the Tamiya 66 Beetle which has more detail.
I have also cut some of the floor away to allow the tyres to move freely.

Hey come someone tell me why some of the pics have been cut off on the RHS?

Looking good dude.

I have the blue kit and i was wondering how I was going to lower it, but you have shown me how now. lol. Cheers.

I will definately be watching this one.

Cheers

pics look ok to me, u can try making the images smaller when u put them on photobucket

Lookin good dude, glad I could be of some help.
Pics look ok to me!

Pics look fine. I just love the VW beetles and kombi's. The kombis just ooze class when lowered I recon. Looking forward to this build. I have a Beetle kit but im waiting until I get more building skill so I can do it justice and fully detail it.

Keep us posted.

that's one cool Dak Dak bus in the making.
