Neddy Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I hope you don't mind me posting this, I was just so impressed by it I thought you good people might be interested... I have two brothers who are also into modelling, the younger one tending to occasionally build in big-scale and the older one concentrating entirely on building and renovating diecast models, mainly 1:43rd scale. The younger one sent this photo to us both... - and the older one accepted the challenge. This is the result... The donor vehicles were a Vanguard VW Beetle and a Lledo Morris Minor Traveller, both 1:43rd scale. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Great work! I like to mess about with 1/43 diecasts, but have never attempted anything as near as ambitious as that! 👍 Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Classy conversion! Nice work, well executed. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Very neat. It's amazing how well they fit together. I imagine that the original is a bit noisy inside. The engine might run a bit hot too. But, it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 That’s true about the engine,where is it exactly I wonder. The two models go together very well though. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
