davecov Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 My build of the Airfix 1/32 Beach Buggy (A02412V) Having already converted an Airfix Beach Buggy to a six-wheeler, I decided to do another but this time with four front wheels like FAB 1 from Thunderbirds.

dcrfan Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Very nice. The twin rear wheels really looks good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Methinks Parker and Lady Penelope are a tad underdressed. That is absolutely brilliant, and so is the four-seater. Absolutely brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Barking mad. More please. How about a half track then? Very creative, Dave. Love them both. I think I still have the male figure knocking around somewhere from a '70's build! I think you might need a larger steering wheel to get around corners and park on the FAB 1 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that too. But also, wow I need to get me a buggy, apparently you get some mighty fine abs from riding those 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be taking up Pete's suggestion for a hat-trick, or threesome? Regards, Jeff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 If there is a next time, I might just surprise you all with a straightforward OOB build....😄 Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Having built the Buggy myself I can only say, that yours are out of this world! - a small suggestion: an 8-wheeler! Cheers Hans J 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 That can only be described as Dagenham - two stops up from Barking! Insane idea, again beautifully designed and executed. I absolutely love ideas like this, especially when they're so well crafted. We need more creative craziness like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 As I was born in Romford and my mother still lives close to Elm Park Tube station, I know exactly what you mean, @Neddy 😄 Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 A fun build and nice conversion! Nice to do something 'off the wall' once in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Very well built, both of them. I'd had the idea of dong this on one of my AMT Meyers Manx kits with the four wheels at the rear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 "Parker. Fetch the beach buggy," "Yes, m'lady," A very inventive build and executed in a way that makes you think the kit came that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 That‘s one lucky fella in a pink Buggy with a well tanned blonde sitting next to him 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
